| Ity Bitty Halters? I have a teacup Yorkie...is there somewhere that makes smaller that usual halters for tiny dogs? Even the extra small ones in the pet stores swamp him. Thanks! |

| Good suggestions above. You can also try ferret harnesses or kitty harnesses in the pet stores. Buddy Belts leather harnesses start at an 8" chest.

| My favorite harness is by Susan Lanci Designs. I get mine from GWLittle.com. They even come in half sizes. They are super soft, easy to use and made in the USA. We love them here! Had ours for several years now, machine washable and they still look like new! Worth the investment for sure! Best wishes in your search!

| Thank you! Thanks! Your suggestions are appreciated. Whiskey's girth is 8" so until he gets a little bigger, I'm gonna look at Ferret harnesses. When he gets full size, I will invest in something we will use from then on...thanks for solving our problem, everyone! |

| That is what I have, a little mesh ferret harness for my tiny little male that just hits 2#. It is absolutely adorable! |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | We have a ferret harness for Remi & also if you go to the kitten section at Petsmart you can get a harness for kittens (not Cats) that fits pretty good. The Susan Lanci are too big for Remi - but I love them!

| Ferret harnesses work perfect for the tiny guys. I used them on my girls when they were babies.

| I have bought two from Chattiesmom on this forum. She makes them out of silk fabric to your measurements for a perfect fit. My first was purchased when Pepper was 6 months old with an 8" chest. Just bought the second in a different color! |
