Pet Clothes

Dogs are great companions and they love to get out and walk.  There are many collars you can get for your dog but now days there are many harnesses for dogs also.  The harnesses come in many styles and there is a style for all dogs and their behavior.  Also, they are so much easier on a dog’s neck and back.  

You will need to measure your dog to make sure you have a good harness fit.  The girth (chest) is the most important part.  Use a tape measure and wrap it around your dog’s chest behind his front legs.  Make sure that your dog is standing and not moving around to much so you get a good measurement.  Hold the tape around the dogs chest and put one to two fingers between your dog and the tape measure. You should have a good measurement after doing this.  There are some of the dog harnesses that are measured by the dog’s weight.

The harnesses are a safe way to walk your dog.  They are more secure than the collar because it takes a little more wiggling to get out of a harness.  Also, if your dog has a sensitive throat or issues with a collapsing trachea a harness will be the best way to walk your dog.  Many small dogs are prone to have problems with their throats 

There are many unique styles of harnesses made from a wide variety of materials.  There is a harness to suit your dog also.  So keep your dog save and close and “Happy Dog Walking.”
