| X-Small Harness Hello, I was on petsmart.com and I saw a harness I really like for my baby. The thing is the website doesn't even list measurements and my local petsmart's doesn't sell the xsmall so even if I wanted to I couldn't take my Daisy to try it on. Does anyone know if the xsmall will be big or small on a 3lb-3 1/2lb yorkie? My little girl is 14 weeks in a half and weighs 1lb 14-15oz so she won't be able to use the harness until she's a bit older. Thank you!!! |

| I have a pink mesh harness I got my moms puppy and it was way too small for her- she was already 6lbs when we got her... never worn/brand new. I could send it to you if you want just pay for shipping which shouldn't be more than $4. Four Paws Pink Comfort Control Dog Harness, Medium It's this one and it's an xs and would definitely fit a 3-4lb dog.

| Sasha tips the scales at a hair over 3 pounds and most of the XS harnesses we have found have been too big

| Check out chattiesmom. She makes custom harnesses, sized to fit your dog. I have 2 and really like them. My Pepper is just under 4# and when he was a puppy even the xsmall anything was too big. His collar is a cat collar that I had to take apart and resew to make it smaller. You will have to search for her on this site. Last edited by kalega; 04-08-2015 at 07:57 PM. |

| My baby goes from 4 pounds to 4 pounds 4 ounces and wears Xsmall at a relaxed fit she could pull out of it if she wanted to. |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | You need to take a tape measure and measure the girth to find out what size. Measure right behind the legs . . .

| We could not find one small enough either then someone suggested a harness for a cat. Worked like a charm. Just a thought. |

| Zoey is 2 lbs 7ozs and I have not been able to find a harness to fit her, they are all too large. I have been looking for months now, so if anyone knows where to get an xxsmall please let me know. PS..... even the cat harnesses are too big. Last edited by Belladea; 07-07-2015 at 10:28 PM. |

| You might want to try your local feed store, one down the street from me had a harness that perfectly fit my Daisy, she is 6 months and weighs 2lbs 7oz at the moment. |

| I'm from Rhode Island, we don't have feed stores here. We have Petsmart and Petco, also a couple of little pet stores and I have tried them all. No luck yet ! |

YT 1000 Club Member | How old is Zoey? We used a Buddy Belt size 1 for my pups under 3 lbs and it worked perfectly. I can't really remember how much it was but I think between $35-40. |

| Zoey is 9 months old. You use a Buddy Belt for a harness? |

| for those of you that have hard to fit dogs, you should buy custom made harnesses, of then are less expensive and cuter. I love these harnesses and have about 7 they are even reversible. And best of all are under $15.00 https://www.etsy.com/shop/dressmeups...tion_leftnav_2

Those are cute! OFF TOPIC: Do you plan on ever opening an Etsy shop? The items you made your buddy for the GE were so pretty! ON TOPIC: Yes, I use the Buddy Belt size 1 for my 2.5 lb yorkie. He's an adult now, but other than a custom made harness the BB is all that would fit. | |
