Adjustable Nylon Dog Chest Harness with Leash

This chest harness is made of nylon and adjusts with straps, so you can fine-tune the fit once it is on your dog. Because it sits across the chest rather than the neck, it spreads the pull of a tugging dog over the body. A towing rope comes in the pack, so you can clip on and head out the door.

The harness shown here is size M in red. Measure around the widest part of your dog's chest before you order, since fit depends on build as much as the size letter, and leave enough strap to adjust.

To put it on, loosen the straps, slip it over your dog's head, fasten it and tighten until two fingers fit between the strap and the body. Check the fit again after the first few walks. A snug harness that does not rub under the front legs is the goal.

For cleaning, hand wash in lukewarm water with mild soap and let it dry completely before the next walk. The pack arrives in a plastic bag and weighs about 0.6 lb (280 g), so it is light enough to tuck into a coat pocket or a gym bag.
