| No Matting Harness I prefer a harness for my Zeus but his hair is matting in the area where the "breathable mesh" covers his hair. I brush his hair every day but his hair continues to matte. Can any recommend a harness? Last edited by Zeus_yorkielove; 10-18-2015 at 10:25 AM. |

| Welcome to Yorkie Talk! Harnesses and collars are like clothes: there is no perfect solution. Anything touching a Yorkie coat has the potential to cause problems, including topknot bands. A satin harness would probably be best, but my boys require something to hold them really securely. They are escape artists! We use the Buddy Belt leather harness and do not have matting if I make sure the front legs/armpits are combed out thoroughly first (my boys are in full coat). If there are tangles to start, yes, wearing a harness will make the tangles worse. Each dog is different in what works best. Best wishes in finding the right harness for Zeus.
