| For those who use Puppia Harnesses... ...is there a secret or easier way to take off the harness? Mocha's neck is really small (7 inches), and it's a lot smaller than his head. Therefore the neck part on the harness is big around his neck, but it seems a little small for his head. It's a struggle to get the harness off of him because it won't go over his head nicely. When I take it off, I have to hold the harness near his head and then he pulls back to tug it off. I'm worried that this might cause strain on his little neck. I just wish the neck hole was stretchable, I think that would solve the problem. Does anybody else have the same problem?

| That's what I've been doing too, but he pulls back so hard I think it's going to strain his neck

| Get the larger size. I had to do this with Bruce. It may look to big but once you get it on you will see it fits just as securely and comes off with ease.

| That's what the seller suggested, but I don't think the one he has now is too small. Once he gets it on, there's actually a lot of room around the neck and the chest area is roomy too (and it's even adjusted to the smallest length). I think anything bigger would be too loose and he'll be able to slip out of it. How much room is there when Bruce has the bigger one on? Can he slip out of it at all?
