A vest harness that fits?! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Cisco'smom · 12-26-2005, 01:29 PM

I am having the hardest time finding a vest harness, or regular harness (let alone a sweater) that fits Cisco.

I have a vest harness that fits around his neck, but his legs come right out of it. Also his sweaters seem to 'constrict' his legs, where he can't walk-is this from having short legs? It seems the sweaters fit everywhere else..
Also, i have a regular harness, and i guess i'm a moron, but for the life of me, i can't figure out how it goes on him.
Is there a special (he weighs 2 pounds 1 oz) harness for yorkies?
I know I shouldn't use a collar, so i'm not trying that..
any help is appreciated.

I had to use a ferret step in harness when Cali was 9 weeks old and weighed 1 lb. Then she gratuated to the x small step in harness, it's adjustable and should fit a 2.3 lb dog. I got mne at a dog boutique by my house but i believe Dog.com has them.

When I first brought Kiki home, I got him an extra small cat harness. It worked out fine for us.

I just posted about Shanatink's shop. I am thrilled with the quality of the harness vest with the wings. I bought Cricket an XS and Bubba she custom made!
With the YT discount, they were less than $30 for both!!

I've ordered 2 from Joy, and they are GREAT! They fit really good.

I also have my eye on one of Shana's I really like.
