Regardless I use both a harness and collar. I use the collar when Poppy is wearing her coat because I dont like to put the harness on over the coat.
I dont yank her about the place though |
I was told by a worker in Pet Supplies it is not necessary to slowly transition dog foods, example:::if your dog is eating one brand and it's beef, you want to change to another brand and feed chicken you don't need to change the food gradually. Lesson I learned....Don't listen to workers in pet stores... You can use harness on puppy as long as it's not TIGHT, as long as you can put 2 fingers between harness and dog it's not tight, same goes for collars, 2 fingers between collar and dog. After my one girl got CT from constantly pulling on her collar I had 3 puppies all used harness, no growth affect on them. Harness is used just for walking, they don't wear harness 24/7.
