What is the best website to get it from also. |
I have a choke free harness for Winston and I adore it. I was skeptical of ordering it at first because they were cheaper then the buddy belts and I was worried I'd be buying something of questionable quality like my last harness purchase. If you go to the chokefree website they have a link to Frieda's boutique who they recommend for web/mail purchase and she has great pricing (and free shipping.) Sometimes she has to order the particular size and color though so it make take a couple weeks to get to you. She also sells the new matching
ID collars but you do have to order over the phone for those. There also are quite a few retailers in brick and mortar stores that carry them too, so you might want to look into that as well.
You
do also have to order an inch (or in other words a size) up. Winston is 12 inches, so we ordered a 13 inch. The reason for doing this is really for clothing - when Winston has nothing on I can tighten it as far as it goes and the fit is just right. When he has a couple layers on (like right now because its 10 degrees here) the extra inch gives room for things like coats and sweaters or anything else bulky. If I were to buy the 12 inch - it would just be twelve inches and would fit snuggly because he'd be at the max end of the spectrum for that size.
I really do adore my chokefree... so much that since I got it in august I've been trying to find an excuse to buy another in a different color. They leather is also soft when you first get it too, which is always a plus. I've had the puppia harness (3 styles, superior, regular & vest) as well as the traditional nylon ones, and the silk... but I adore my chokefree - and so does Winston! (The only harness I own/owned that he hasn't attempted to bite!
