| i have a question about harnesses where is the best place to get a small one for a yorkie puppy around 12 weeks old? i will be bringing a little one home in about 4 weeks! when we brought Kiva home many many years ago (1998) i'm pretty sure the breeder gave us one. don't remember buying one until she was much bigger. so any ideas on where to get one?

| I would get a cheap step in harness from petsmart or petco until she is full grown and then I would look into a good harness like the buddy belt. Congrats on your new pup!

| You don't bring her home for 4 weeks, why not wait a bit to see how much she grows?

| Also you wouldn't want to take her on walks until all shots are given. So I would wait a while.

| yea we're supposed to go see her again next weekend. i would still like to look beforehand to see what the stores have. i will probably bring her with us to actually try it on before we buy it. as for taking her out....yea it will be a while.

| Be sure to buy from a store that does not sell animals. Anything you purchase from them also helps puppy mills. Sorry but its true.

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | I tried on every harness I could find for Katie Scarlett when we got her. Every single one of them were too big. I had to go into the pet section at Petco and get her a cat harness until she grew a bit bigger. This is the one we got: Coastal Pet Pink Mesh Cat Harness at PETCO And being a little over $5 it did not break the bank until I could get her a better one when she grew.

| Hi! Congratulations on getting a new puppy! Chattiesmom makes adjustable silk harnesses, so it will get her through a few growth stages...very reasonably priced too!
