| Kong Harness sucks, looking for strong durable harness Okay so yesterday I had a freak accident with a harness bought 8-10 months ago and the harness I realize has been getting loose.... It's an adjustable harness and I would had lost it if poor little maggie got lost or injured. She's used to me and there was nothing to spook her so she didn't try to bolt. Otherwise she would had. One pull was all it took for it to come out of there... The adjusting part I don't quite get because it doesn't have a way to prevent it from coming undone. So I am going to message kong because they have completely lost my trust. The harness was given to me before I could get the one you guys recommended. :/ But I always felt iffy about walking her out the yard because if it came undone and she got spooked she will bolt without thinking. So I am trying to find my thread with suggestions but I want an extremely durable harness that I can put on my dog and not worry about it breaking soo fast.... a harness of this price should had atleast lasted another year or two. P.s. can't seem to find her size in stores for neither harness or collars, and she needs a new id collar, a new leash, and I am thinking of a new id with all my contact info. If anyone can point me in the right direction |

. and we would take the dogs every 1.5 months to get bathed at petsmart but they never cleaned the collars or harness so we would wipe them down but it wasn't enough. We didn't notice until recently just how bad they were... the smell was strong but not so powerful you could tell from a distance. | |

| I love the Buddy Belt for Gidget. She wears the white one 90% of the time and yes it gets dirty. I just use a wash cloth and put a little Dawn on the cloth and wash it that way then make sure I rinse the soap off the harness. Since it's leather, I can't put it in the washing machine but this works for me. Also, it's very secure. No way she could possibly put out of it. Actually have a white one and a yellow one. Just ordered one in pink. Gidget is so spoiled but I love it. |

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. Last edited by KatysMom; 05-22-2018 at 07:41 AM. | |

| I've always been a big fan of Puppia for our "Every day harnesses". They've lasted us years. We've had some that I've literally had since Jackson was 1. He will be 10 in October. They wash easily, they're lightweight, breathable, comfy enough to leave on all day if needed. We have others as well for different purposes but these are our are every day ones, basically. They come in different colors as well and different types... I use the "Ritefit" one for Lola with adjustable neck. They also have step-in's. I do love Buddy Belts, too. You can't beat the quality!
