I also like the BB bc I can make Uni wear it like a mask when I'm bored. |
I think your post just answered my question. How much velcro is on the Choke Free? I have a Yorkie and a Biewer, both weighing between 3.5-4 pounds. They are 8 and 5 months. Finding a harness to fit properly was/is a nightmare. I bought and returned several before I started reading the posts. Seemed to me that a few months ago the step-in Puppia vest was getting rave reviews. I ordered the xs and they just fit, so I returned them for size s. That size was a bit too big, but figuring they would grow I kept them. Saying all this, I really did not take them out since the weather was so frigid. Now that it is turning nicer outside, I have been trying to get them into the harness but the Velcro is so thick that it is catching their long hair. Hearing them yelp when I try to get the hair off the Velcro is heartbreaking
. Now they see the harness and run for the hills (I don't blame them). I am thinking of getting the choke free. Seems to look less threatening to me. I had no idea it had Velcro - just thought the slit and the ring held it together. The BB looks wonderful, but I have to pay for two and that is a bunch of money. After spending some bucks on the puppia, I thought the Choke Free was my answer. They have a ton on eBay I can bid on. So just how much Velcro is on the Choke Free and will my long haired friends hair get caught up in it?
