I have harnesses suitable for a 5 pound senior yorkie. Ever so hopeful I will need a puppy-sized harness six to eight weeks out. (And ... maybe a second still further out.)
Your leather Buddy Belts look wonderful.
Has anyone used a Buddy Belt on their yorkie puppy--one that is say ~2.5 lb? The
Buddy Belt sizing chart has a weight column, but the associated girth measurements seem large (relative to weight).
These young ones grow so fast, would you hold off on the Buddy Belt until the pup has matured in growth?
As for
cleaning, have you tried a vinegar and olive oil solution? See "
Organic Leather Cleaner and Preserver Recipe,"
zenoils [blog] (n.d.?).
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
