| harness recommendations (not buddy belt) I have buddy belts for the girls to wear normally (well, will be getting one from Kristen soon for my Lilah ) I have a cheaper mesh fabric harness for Lilah to wear when it's raining, we are playing near the lake etc.......one that can get wet and I don't care if it gets ruined. But I need one for my papillon. Was looking at the Puppia maybe....but get the regular one or the vest? Any other suggestions? |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Actually Buddy belts have Introduced the BB2 Harness. The BB2 is made with synthetic leather. It can get wet and not get ruined. Made the same way as the leather. http://www.wfieldsforpets.com/BB2-Harness-p/bb.htm

| Chokefree makes a mesh harness that's sturdy but not bulky. We often use that one at the beach when I know the pups will get wet. I'm planning on getting BB2s for the beach this summer, too. Last edited by P-Nut Mom; 03-12-2014 at 09:39 AM. |

| I like the regular puppia harness. I've tried the vest style and ZoE slipped out of it in my front yard, which is on a main road...scary! I've never had a problem with the regular over the head style puppia and use them often.

| My only question about the over the head style is that my papillon has HUGE ears....and I wonder if it would be a pain to slide it over her head |

| ZoE has pretty big ears too, but I believe it's worth the extra few seconds it takes to put the harness on, to have a secure harness.

| I was actually looking at get one of these for Teddy...something that won't irritate his underarms as much. Toki has a Puppia vest harness that she too can slip out of by pulling her self backwards...we only use it at the dog park so I can easily spot her in the trees. The size of her vest seems right for Teddy and he doesn't slip out of it (mostly because he never pulls backward I imagine) but I was looking at the other Puppia harnesses that might be more secure. Can you post a link or model to the over-the-head one you have? There are a couple on their website and I have no idea which would be best to get. |

| I have that style and Bubba can back out of it. Plus, it chokes him and makes him hack. I also have a Canine Style one that SIssy can get out of.

| We love Puppia regular vest style, like the link posted above. It's the harness we use probably 85% of the time.

| I use this type from petsmart. Top Paw® Mia Collection Dog Harnesses - Harnesses - Collars, Harnesses & Leashes - PetSmart I like that I lay it down and she sort of steps into it, then it snaps/buckles on her back. There is no over the head needed. The dividing strap goes between her legs and up her chest. Has worked well since she was a baby. |

| I asked Buddy Belt about water and the BB2. They said their testing showed it would not lose color or change shape. Lay flat to dry. However, the metal hardware will likely tarnish if exposed to salt water and maybe some chlorinated waters. (For leather BBs, do not expose to heat/intense sun while drying. Leather will shrink.)
