| Does your pup wear his/her harness 24/7? I'm trying to grow Princess's coat out a bit & have noticed the hair under her harness is not growing as well. She usually wears it at all times, but I've been letting her go without it lately. I just worry if she was to get out or something she would not have her tags on her, though she is microchipped. I know some use a collar as I.D. but the time I tried that Princess got it stuck on the water valve behind the toilet. Luckily I was home, but it was still unnerving. What do you do?

| No, too scared Tibbe would get it hung on something or it would cause him some problem. Anytime someone comes for a visit or service man comes or he goes out the front door, he's got it on.

| Nope. Riley runs around Naked....unless we are going outside. I am going to order him a Buddy Belt... but right now he has a Black Nylon Harness and a Cobalt Blue Nylon Harness. I have his dog tags on the leash ring of one of them but am in the process of ordering a second set of dog tags for the other one so that I don't have to keep moving the tags from one to another. |

| Diva Dori has 10 Puppia harnesses in different styles and colors. We take 5-6 walks a day, so she is never without her harness except nite-nite and grooming. I ordered color-coordinating ID tags (REWARD + phone #) for each of the harnesses, so she is always secure (Dori also has a microchip and I keep its code on my key ring). Of course, her leashes are also coordinated. MY favorite combo is the black flame harness with the rhinestone skull leash! Dori, however, isn't picky!

| We only use them when we go out. Sometimes I will leave it on them if I think they need to go out since they had not done anything on our previous outing. But I'm fortunate that I live in a small rural neighborhood.

| I only use the harness when we go outside. Occasionally, I'll leave it on for a few hours. But it's never on all day long. I take both collar and harness off at night just for comfort. But he does wear a collar with tags all day long.

| My two wear their collars 24/7 to ensure that if they ever get out, they have two forms of id on them (micro-chip and tags). They wear their harnesses when we go in the car (for their carseat) or when we go on walks.

| You should definitely try a collar instead of a harness all day, I'm sure that's uncomfortable for her. Just make sure the collar and/or tags aren't huge and it should be fine. Mine wear a tag 24/7 but only a harness when we go walk.

| My 4 wear a collar and ID all the time, but wear a harness only when we go outside.

| Walks only, although sometimes the boys will plop down and take a nap with their belts when we return.

| Just like most here my roxy only wears her harness for walks and wears her collar with tags all the time. I'm waiting until she's full grown to buy the buddy belt. She's 5 months now and weighs 3 lbs 15 oz. |
