| Puppia harness I was wondering what harness would be better for my little Milo. I have been looking at the puppia. His neck is 8 inches and his chest is 13. Should I get the step in or the regular one? |

| I don't know what you mean by regular or step in. Scooter wears the small and his neck is 10 inches (counting fur). His is like what's shown on their web site and it's not exactly a step in but he does have to put his front legs into the holes. Confusing I know but it fits and I'm very happy with it. If your baby's neck is only 8 inches it might be a little big.

| I love Puppia. I prefer the regular one, not the step-in. We also have a Buddy Belt which we love but Puppia is our typical go-to harness. Jackson is 16lbs and wears a Medium.

| I love the regular neck hole puppia harness, but will never use the step-in puppia ever again. ZoE got out of her step-in puppia twice. The first time I thought it was just a fluke and maybe it wasn't fastened right, but the very next time out, it happened again. The step-in was fine as long as she was in front of me walking forward, but when she turned around (so she was facing me) and backed up, the harness slipped right over her head. I love the regular puppia and matching leashes & have quite a few sets.

| I tried the puppia step-in harness once on Prince, but did not like it. It fit too high on his neck.

| Thanks, I am about to order one. I have looked around in town today at the pet stores but didn't see anything i liked. I have looked at the buddy belts but i think i am going to go with the puppia for now. He is only 5 months old. Maybe the buddy belt when he stops growing. |

| The best harness ever! Check out the website Park Avenue Dogs. The lady makes them for you in the fabric you want, the closure you want..When Emma was very small I thought the velcro closure was the way to go. Now that she has long hair I order with the side release buckle. Darling! They are adjustable so she won't out grow them. Emma loves hers, It was like she was already trained to walk on a leash the harness is so comfortable. |

Yep! Teddy is 5 months old too and we are waiting until he stops growing to get a buddy belt, he's growing like a weed! We use the puppia step-in. I love it, it's just the sizing is weird. He wears XS (he's 4lbs) and it is a little small on his waist, but everywhere else is perfect. I purchased a Small, but it's like way too big. So you def. wanna make sure you get the measurements right. I love how it clips on the top and then you get an added security with the double D-rings. The rings are just a bit large for my flexi. Nonetheless, I really like it and got it on ebay for a GREAT price
