I had the very same experience---the D ring was not solid and she got away. It was frightening, but we managed to catch her.

Terrific information and warning!
I'm so glad your baby was not hurt. I'm sure other babies will be safe because you shared your experiance with us!

Thanks for the warning. I ordered the vest harness for small animals (rabbits, small dogs) from Petsmart that someone here on YT had recommended. Yup, the D-ring is of the split variety. The ends do meet but I wonder for how long after the little one starts tugging on it. I don't trust it. I will use it for training in the house but I won't take my baby outside in it. In fact, I might just send it back.

Thanks for the warning and I am glad she is okay

I have D-rings on all my harnesses so I will check them now when I get home. I ordered the majority of them from Des (Tiger's_Mom). Diamond is quite the runner too so I would be going NUTS if she got loose!

Great warning. I went immediately to check Penny's harness. The D-ring Deb (Tiger's Mom) from Go Fetch used is solid.

Thank goodness! Penny is a 7-lb puller!
