Question about... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

a harness! Ok before I came to this site I always had put a collar on Gidget. Then I learned that they need a harness instead! My question is, I want to get one for each of my babies from Tinkerbell's Closet and they have velcro on them. Are these safe enough that my babies won't get away from me? Thanks for any info!

I use them on Tink and she is 7 or 8lbs and I havent had a problem with her. I use 1 inch wide velcro and at least 3 inches in length of velcro so it is a really firm hold.

The one and only problem I have had is that my Stormy's hair sometimes gets caught in the velcro. Other than that, it's great.

thats brings up a good point. I use to encounter this problem with chloe with the hook side of the velcro but ever since then I started putting the hook side on the top side of clothes so it wasnt the piece of velcro that is exposed to the dog fur, and I havent had a problem. Im sorry I know I explained that horribly.

No, that makes perfect sense. Very good advice. I'll definitely remember that.
