Puppia Soft Harnesses... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

kimmiek · 08-02-2008, 09:39 PM

Does anyone have one? They look great...nice and breathable. Chewie's neck measurement is 7 1/2 inches and his body is 12 1/2... that falls right in the middle of their size "extra small". If you have one and you're doggie is on the smaller end...how did they work for you...well, i mean the dog? LOL

I just ordered a couple, haven't used them yet because I'm still waiting on him being ready to leave his family. But anyways a bunch of people on this site recommended it. hth

i use puppia on my girls..Tumi is 3.4lb and Gracie is 3.7. they both use XS

i use one on Bailey, its so good i love it! looks nice and is great for the dog. Bailey has his in a very light blue and looks really stylish in it

i found i got the one that was a little tiny bit to big for his neck, but it goes over his jumpers so its perfect

Wrigley's neck is 8" and she's almost 13" in the chest. The xs we couldn't get on her and the next size up was too big around her neck.
We were so disappointed because we really liked the styles.

I purchased two for Buddy about a month ago and love them.
I will tell you they run large. I should have gotten a small but according
to their chat he was a medium. They are great. No pressure on the
throat area.

We have two Puppia harnesses both in a size Small and they work great for Kiki. We bought them last year when she was around 5 pounds and now that she is 6.5 lbs. they still fit great. The buckle around the chest is adjustable so it allows for room to grow or over clothing. The neck definitely fits looser but I think this is the proper fit for a Puppia.

I got Mocha the regular Puppia harness and returned it for the vest style with the velcro closure at the back. He's 3lbs and I got the XS. With the regular one, it was really hard getting it off him. He has a relatively small neck compared to his head, so it was hard getting it to go over his head when I had to take it off. I had to hold it still while he pulled back to get the harness off and I was worried he might hurt his neck that way. Also, when he had it on, he was usually able to get one of his front legs out of it and into the neck hole. The neck hole was more than roomy in the neck area, but it wouldn't go over his head nicely

I like the Puppia vest harness much better. No stress on his neck when taking it off, and he's not able to get any arms out. I think the regular style harness is good if they have a wider neck, but if they have tiny, fragile necks, I wouldn't recommend it.

Our dog is 12 weeks old and 2 lb 9oz and the XS fits very snugly. As a result, we went ahead and ordered a size S for him to grow into.

Carol is right - they DO run large ...I like that they're so easy to clip on & you only have to slip one leg in. They're great harnesses - all the pressure is on the upper chest which in our case, is wonderful, we have kitties living right outside my front door and my girls go NUTS ...so there's alot of pulling when we step outside -

Chattiesmom makes a nice step in also - they're very easy to put on too but my 2 don't 'step' into anything - it's more like wrestling

so we alternate between the 2 styles.
