Vest-Style Dog Harness and Leash Set with Ear Straps

A vest-style harness spreads pressure across the chest and back instead of the neck, and this one comes with its own leash, so you can head out the door with a single set. The vest is made of fabric and has ear details on the straps, in yellow, pink or green, which gives the walk a playful look.

Each order includes the harness with its back support belt and a leash, called a traction rope in the maker's terms. The four sizes available in the options are XS, S, M and L. No chest or neck measurements come with them, so measure your dog around the ribcage just behind the front legs and compare it with the size you choose. If your dog is between sizes, pick the larger one, and make sure you can fit two fingers under every strap.

Put the harness on at home first, with treats, and let your dog wear it for a few minutes before a real walk. Check that nothing rubs under the legs, and keep a hand on the leash near roads and other dogs.

Wipe the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap, and air dry fully.
