| Advise on harness Hi, I have an 8 weeks old puppy and she is about 1 lbs 7 ounces. I've been looking for harness in the last few weeks but I haven't been able to find any that will fit her since she is so small. Can some point me to the right direction? any brand name? etc Thank you |

| Harnesses are tough. I had to get mine custum done to fit my dogs needs. But most petco stores have harnesses and some even have small ones. I prefer the step in kind some like that ones that go over the head and along the body. Jl

Therapy Dog Donating Member | ChattiesMom (Cindy) makes custom harnessess at great prices or you can go with Chokfree Harnesses but she is growing and will outgrow them fast and these are more on the expensive side.

| I had a rough time searching for a hardness when Roxy was smaller but honestly I went to Walmart and I found a hardness labeled small (toy) breed...It was like 5 buck if that. It turned out to be to small hahahhaha BUT I'm sure it will your pup being that yours in 1lb and Roxy was 2.5lbs Good Luck....
