I was wondering... if we shouldn't use a collar on our furkids since it could damage their tiny necks (tracheas) then we should use a harness right. So, exactly how does this t-harness keep from pulling to their necks? Isn't it sort of like using a collar around their neck. Just wondering.

Hi Lorin, if you look closely on the harness, the D ring is located at the end of the second band, so pressure is all happening from the chest area, not the neck area. I have actually lifted Annika on just the D-ring and the neck area has no pressure at all, so definitely 100% safe.

If you have used both a collar and a harness, you will see that the harness attaches to the leash across the mid back which is where the "pull" is centered, even with the top part of the harness going around the neck. There is literally no force on the throat. With a collar, all the force of the "pull" is at the front of the throat.

Also, with the harness, you can easily snag your baby into the air quickly (to avoid other animals or injury), but if you tried that with a collar you could hang your baby.

ETA: Those T-harnesses look so cute. I showed them to DH, but he like the vest harness the best. I wonder if the T-harness leads to less matting; Penny is famous for matting. Ha! Maybe we'll have to get more than one.

HI Penny, can you tell me what your paypal address is so I can tell you how far along is your order. I have a full time job so I just do this on the side.

However, so far It normally takes about up to 7 days before I mail it out, it just all depends on the backlog . . . and lately I have quite a bit

I have an extra day on 4th of July to work on orders so hopefully you will get it much sooner. I really appreciate everyone's patience and understanding when they place orders. Of course, special needs and requests are always entertained. Luckily there aren't too many

Matting can definitely occur during prolonged use depending on how long their coat . . . . I also carry step-in harnesses that uses clamps if you are interested. However, my velcro closures are the best sellers

I only have my furbabies wear them when they're ready for a walk of going out, otherwise they are just home "naked" all the time

I love harnesses. It is the only thing I use as well because I have had to pick them up quick when I saw danger coming our way. And they have never been hurt with there harnesses on.

I just wanted to say that Morgan is cute! I can't wait to see her model her new items. Does she have a soft or a silky coat?

Thanks for the explaination. I was pretty confused, as usual it seems!!! I have always owned larger dogs and used a leash and collar with them. So when I adopted our Scrappy, it was like opening a door to a whole new 'tiny furkids world!'. Thankss again.

That does it! I'm going to have to order one of the harness/leash/bow sets. Your models all look so cute!!!

Has anyone purchased her step-in harnesses? That's what I'll be going with. Also, does anyone know if she offers a discount to YT members? Just curious, don't want to miss out!
