| "Puppia Like" Custom Made Harness Does anyone know where I can get a harness that works the same as a Puppia but is custom made for the dog's measurements? I tried two Puppias, one small and one medium, and the small is too small and the medium is too big. My pup is in the middle of those two sizes and if I remember correctly, someone on YorkieTalk was talking about someone who custom makes these. I really like the Puppia style because it's kind to their neck and seems so comfortable. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. |

| Chattiesmom makes harnesses - I don't know though what a puppia harness is, so I don't know if hers would fit your requirements or not

| I had the exact same problem!! The small was way too small, the medium was way too big. I ended up getting Prince a step-in harness from PetSmart. I wanted to order one from Chattiesmom, but I like to try it on Prince before I purchase.

| Puppia now makes adjustable harnesses... I have yet to see them in stores, but they seem so bulky . PUPPIA ::: For the better dog's fashion ::: Puppia is the Head Office of Puppia Brand who specialized in Dog Clothes and fashion accessories together with dog carrier, harness and dog beds. All of Puppia provides end to end services from design to ma They do make step-in ones now too... but I've never seen them in stores either. They're cute and look comfy and I wanted to try one but I've had the same problem especially with the chest area. My BF bought one for his dog and the chest is wayyy to big but the size lower was too tight. I love chattiesmom's harnesses though.

| I have the same issue. The xs was tight going over my Abby's head and the small, tented. I ended up buying a Buddy belt (like a step in harness). It's quite nice. |

| There are a bunch of other companies that make similar style harnesses. Perhaps their size charts might be different and work better for you? Gooby Bessie & Barnie Doggie Design RC Pets Good luck!

| i got one for charlie. The small was too small for his head however the body part was ok. So I went and exchanged it for the medium..the medium is a little too big for him. However, I kept the medium just in case he grows. I use safety pins to make it smaller for him. We just order a harness from chattiesmom. |

| Have you ever looked at the Choke-Free Harness ? I've bought 2 from Paw Treasures and love them. She has the best price I can find and excellent service. They are leather and you can order the exact size because you order according to your dog's girth. They are supple leather and a huge variety of finishes and colors.

| I bought Snickers the PUPPIA XS step in (velcro/clip) harness from Amazon in the camo color and it fits like a glove and does not touch his neck at all. He is 3.4lbs, neck girth 6-7in, and chest girth 10in. I HIGHLY recommend this, such superior quality!!!

| Here are some Puppia-alternatives This one looks like a puppia but costs less: Walk EZ soft mesh harness: Green Walk-Ez Soft Mesh Harness This one looks like a Puppia but it does not give enough measurements, might have to call: Freedom Harness: Walk-Ez Soft Mesh Harnesses- Many Colors! and you can even find several Puppia-like harness on one of my favorite shopping spots, Overstock.com -- Harness Search Results from Overstock.com
