Puppia Harnesses and CT? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

PrincessDiana · 07-06-2008, 09:05 PM

So I'm thinking about buying a Puppia harness for my two once we get the car seat. Right now we're using the step-in kind but I just don't think that would be very comfortable for them if I were to ever get into a car accident or something like that. I like the style and different options with the Puppia but I am a little concerned about the top being so close to the neck area. Does anybody know if this poses a collapsed trachea threat? Also.. can I see pictures of your dogs in their Puppia harnesses?

Thanks everyone!

Ooh, I love Puppia!! It doesn't pull at their necks at all and is made of a soft spongy material. I can lift them up by the ring on the back and the neck part is still loose because all their weight is distributed through their chest area. My vet was very impressed with how safe it was

Here's a very old pic of 2 of my babies in their harnesses.

These are great harnesses. They're well worth the $, fit well, alleviate the worry about CT, and Johnny hasn't chewed through it like he's done with each one made of webbing.
Gooby also makes a great product!

Sophie has one too and we love it. She's comfortable in it. I like how it pulls around the chest rather than around the throat. She took off after a bird at full speed and it did a great job gently stopping her. I would highly recommend Puppia harnesses.

I love the Puppia harness. It doesn't sit around the neck at all..its more around her chest.

This is the best picture I have of Mia with her harness on:

I love Puppia Harnesses!

Does anyone have a step in Puppia Harness? Do you like those? I was thinking of getting one for my maltese.

Here are some pics of Diddy in his harness.

We use the Puppia Harnesses on all the furkids here. Love them!

I am obsessive about nothing pulling on their necks and Puppia is one of the best out of all of them that I sell.

I am so glad I came across this post-

A few days ago I was on the website and saw one I really like- soooo...lucky for me (and Zoe) and my friend's poodle Remi, I will be going to NY next weekend to the store to purchase some...oh and visiting family too

Sounds like many of you (and your furbabies) love 'em so I am sure we will too

Oooohhh I love the Puppia harness! I ordered mine from Woofandwag.com and their customer service was fantastic!!

It's actually one of the easiest harnesses I've tried to put on Maggie - she's usually too squirmy!

ARCHIE · 07-22-2008, 10:01 AM

The Puppia harness is the best. It comes no where near the throat area which is why I just purchased two. They are the best IMO. I don't think
you"ll be sorry and they come in such pretty colors for girls.

I use the Puppia Harness Vest and I love it for my Kaysi. I just wish they made the harness vests smaller for my little Cody who weighs under 3 lbs. He's the one's I'm having a hard time finding a good harness for. I don't like the ones with velcro because all his hair gets stuck in it.

My first chice was the pupia- didn't get it- and ended up getting a goody- I liked it- but Banjo go out of it one day- put the fear of God in me- i think the stap= soft leather streached!
next is the Puppia for me!

My Zada has a soft trachea and the puppia harness made her cough. The top of the harness hits her right at the top of the sternum and when pressure is applied while she's walking, it makes her cough. It seemss walking makes it ride up. I find the step in harness has worked the best.
