| Free to Good Home 9" Choke Free Harness I bought one of these Choke Free harnesses, in black leather, for Sophie and LOVE it, but I neglected to read the website's directions for measuring and didn't add 1" to her girth. She's 8 1/2 inches around, but the 9" harness includes an inch of overlap... which means it will really only fit a fur baby whose girth right behind the front legs is no more than about 8". The harness is brand new and was $35; it's non-refundable, so I'd love for it to go to a fur baby who could use it. Please message me if you'd like it, and I'll be glad to mail it to you. (Just measure your fur baby carefully, and the harness won't fit a fur baby larger than 8" in girth right behind the front legs.) Here's a link so you can see the harness style. page06 I'm going to order Sophie the 10" harness (fingers crossed it will fit right!). |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I did the same thing with the one I got for Pixie and it is too tight to close properly.

| I wish my baby was smaller. Your offer is very generous. Hope you find the right baby for the harness.

| Lol, that makes me feel a little better to know I'm not the only one made that mistake. I think the harness size should state the size GIRTH it will fit, not the length with the overlap! |

| harness found a home :-) It looks like the harness found a good home with a tiny chihuahua! :-) Hope everyone else who orders Choke Free harness remembers to add 1" to the girth measurement!! It's kind of ridiculous that there are no exchanges or returns. :-( |

| Thanks for getting right back with me! I have been looking for the harness that is made of fabric on ebay, just haven't had enough addtional funds to get one (can't quite remember the name of it). Penny is such a little gal, she just turned one year on the first, so I think she is done growing. I've been using one that is too big for her, but she doesn't seem to mind. She has that crazy trachea thing going on, so if she pulls she starts hacking, so generally if we go for walks in the field I leave her offleash. Now that she is full grown I'll find one to fit her.
