Which harness do you prefer? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

PrincessDiana · 02-29-2008, 02:29 PM

Right now we have Franklin on just one of those cheap harnesses from Petsmart. I want to eventually order one for him from someone on YT but I'm going to wait until he's fully grown to buy him a new one.

The one he has is just like this one: http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...amily&keepsr=1

I haven't decided what kind I want to buy him next. Do you guys use the step-in kind, or the custom-made wrap-around kind? What are the pros and cons of each?

ashleylewis · 02-29-2008, 02:46 PM

That's the kind I'm using as well, I haven't had any problems with it and I can't imagine what problems I'd run into, why do you want to switch?

PrincessDiana · 02-29-2008, 02:52 PM

Oh I don't necessarily want to switch. It's just he's starting to grow out of it so I'll have to buy a new one soon. The only concern I have is that the harness rubs under arms when he walks. I wonder if we would have the same problem with the other style, though?

I use a step in for Lucy now.

We've got the one you showed from Petsmart and it has worked fine but I wanted to upgrade. I ended up with leather one-piece styles that I really like, they're easy and convenient. You have to be careful though with them, as I have had Ruby slip out of hers, when I didn't get it tightened enough. Chattie'sMom (Cindy) makes nice silk harnesses, you might want to take a look at what she offers.

I use the step in harness that Chattiesmom make here in YT. They are made of silk and don't knot up there hair. They are the best harness that I've ever had, Fit great. So I would suggest getting one from her. It is well worth the money and they aren't that much money.

thats the one I got for Sampson at petsmart the other day, but miss Cindy (chattiesmom) is making him, Chunky and Jasmine one. Cause there hair I think will get matted up after awhile. JMO

I agree I love the one we have!! It fits Keisha and the puppies when I take them to the vets for their puppy wellness visits. Cindys harness adjusts for quite abit of size difference as they grow.

I_luv_Addie · 02-29-2008, 03:34 PM

They are so easy to use and just as snug as the ones from petsmart! I have one of the petsmart ones and I hate it! Adelaide actually manages to wiggle herself free!

MyDuke · 02-29-2008, 04:24 PM

I got Duke this one
http://www.moderntails.com/product.p...cat=561&page=3
It fits him well and it's step in although I am still trying to get him to step in

kalina82 · 02-29-2008, 04:27 PM

Bizzymammabee · 02-29-2008, 04:27 PM

I use step in harnesses. I have one from buddy belt and another of the fancy one that shanatik carries. Love them. Very easy to get on and off and doesn't harm her in any way.

We love puppias !

TommiGirl · 02-29-2008, 04:36 PM

I use the Puppia soft harness, I find it puts no pressure on her neck
and yet I feel safe that she cannot get out of it.

just google PUPPIA SOFT HARNESS for best price, it should be about $15-22, before S&H.
Oh and try eBay also.
