| Grrrr...cannot find a harness for Sheldon Obviously, I'm going to have to buy online because all the "extra small" in the stores are still waaaaay too big. He is still only (just under) 2 1/2lbs. Any recommendations? |

| Look into Buddy Belts. They have a very wide range of sizes and colors and styles to choose from.

| Look up the Li'l Pals Comfort Mesh Harness. They come in small and xsmall. The small says for 5-7 pounds but I started using it when Lexi was about 3 pounds and it fit great. So the xsmall would definitely work for Sheldon. I got mine from Petco, but they only had the small. |

| Sounds like you need a kitten or ferret harness for your little one! They work great! You can get them at Pet Smart, Petco, etc.

| This is the one I like, works when they are super tiny and when they get bigger. They carry it at petco but they may be buried beneath other harnesses because they don't have a lot of them in stock. Li'l Pals® Comfort Wrap® Adjustable Nylon Harness | Coastal Pet Products |

| Your not going to be able to get one from a pet store they just dont run small sizes I have trouble getting one for my girl and she is 8 lbs. Last time I went to petco I had to buy one smaller than her waist size because the one that said it was her waist size was too big. So I dont like their sizing either. You could get a feret or a cat harness if they have it

| I just bought the comfort harness at petco for my biewers. They seem to be the perfect size for my girls. They're just about Sheldons size and age. I also got one for each of my little yorkies, 2 1/2 and 3 lbs. They work well to restrain them in their car seats. |

| I just received in the mail today Remy's satin harness and leash that I ordered from Chattiesmom (Cindy) and OMG I am very happy with it. It is absolutely gorgeous!! It is all blinged up and the color I picked is actually prettier & richer looking in person. When I pulled the harness out of the package I thought, "Oh no, did I not measure right because it was so tiny". However, once I figured out how to put it on him lol it is a perfect fit with room to grow because it has the adjustable straps. Thanks Cindy for a beautiful harness & leash!!

| I bought the Puppia Step-in Harness for both my puppies. My Yorkie was 2.5 lbs and my Biewer was 2 lbs. I loved that they were wrapped and secure. My babies are a bit bigger now, but the harness still fit nicely. I also have the choke-free harness' but rarely use them. The Puppia just makes me feel that they safer when I am walking them.
