Puppia Soft Dog Harness, Wine, XX-Large (PDCF-AC30-WN-XXL)

My 2 year old girl Abbey just had ACL surgery. I needed a harness she could wear almost constantly so that we were not constantly twisting her and putting extra pressure on her back leg while stepping her into a harness. She has worn this harness nearly 24 hours a day for 5 weeks. If you have experienced this kind of surgery with your dog, then you know!! Abbey has long thin legs, and putting her in and out of harness 4 to four times a day would not be acceptable. For this recovery they must remain on a leash at all times when out of their crate, and they spend most of the day in their crate for 6-8 weeks. This has held up incredible well and there is NO chaffing, or rubbing or digging into her. The fabric is so soft and flexible, and yet durable. The strapping is wide and does not twist or bend. She is a farm dog, so she has not really spent much time on the leash so of course she wants to pull a bit! This offers a full support to lessen her ability to pull and does not get bunched up, curled up or rub her to hurt her in any way. I am so thankful we found this the week before her surgery !! This has been a crucial part of her recovery and would be great for just a regular situation as well.

This is the third harness I've purchased for my Cairn Terrier and the only one I've kept. My 8-year-old dog had never worn a harness before, but he'd had dental surgery and teeth removed and I decided it was time to try again to find one that fit properly to avoid strain to his throat. The sizing instructions for this are perfect so measure your dog, particularly the head size and compare them to the chart. I purchased a Large and it fits comfortably and adjusts with room to spare. It's soft and definitely solved the tugging issue. My Cairn is about 21 pounds and because this pulls over the head I was able to get the proper size. The harness fits loosely but because it goes over the head and snaps around the chest it is very secure. I will definitely purchase another. I use this just for his walks so it should last for quite a while and is well made.

This is my third Puppia harness. I have tried at least two other styles of Puppia vests, but this one is the best of both worlds. It's soft and goes over the head. It does't slide off and there's only one strap to adjust, so it's easy and uncomplicated. Very pleased with this purchase!

I bought this for our yellow lab that has some type of OCD. It is very nice and very nice quality, but I have one issue why I give it 4 stars. The issue if it really is an issue is the plastic connector. It's attached right to the fabric on the dog’s right side. The quick connector is a little large and when my lab is lying on that side it seems like it could be a tad uncomfortable for her. Just wonder if they could have had the belt part sewed to each side and the quick connector on top somehow. That’s not to take away from the harness, I really like it and would probably give it 4.75 stars with the connector if I could. As for the harness, in the pictures it looked a little big in front but it’s made of a very nice light mesh material and it is very soft. When you get it on the dog I think it’s just right. I bought the XXL size for her neck size, her neck is 21", and the fit perfect. It slipped right on over her head and seemed very comfortable, put one leg through and clicked the belt. I don't think there is a way for her to pull out of it either. It adjusts around her chest nicely. The one thing I notice when it's on, from the front above the "puppia" label to the back of the harness on the bottom of her belly it has a slight sag in the middle like it may be a tad too big, but who cares since I wanted to be sure it fit her neck. Sizing seems right on for the neck if you measure. As for using it, having a dog with OCD, she has to walk the same way, do the same things, and I can NEVER put anything on her, clothing, boots, a thunder jacket, anything, or she just stands there. I think she likes this! Normally you need give a little tug to get her to walk in some direction and if she didn’t want to go her collar would slip off. I walk her fine without a leash, but my mom is a little scared, plus she didn’t want to choke her. With this, I put it on quick and now she gently holds the leash tight and our lab actually keeps her head up and walks without OCD issues. It works well and I laughed when I took it off my lab. I asked her for a review on how she liked it…she actually came back and put her head into it like she wanted it back on, I put it on and then she went to sleep. Lying on her left side :-) Oh the life of a dog...got it made. I would recommend this harness.

A lot of other harnesses are a bit too big and our med/small dog often urinates on them because of his stance and the way the harnesses hang down. Not this one!!!!! Fits snug high on his chest and now I don't mind wiping his belly off and hanging the clean non-urine soaked harness up for next trip out. If our dog wasn't 18 years old (A living fossil lmao!) I would buy another one so I have a backup. Well made product!

Loved the color and relative ease of slipping it over dogs head. The fabric is getting thinner with each wash.

It's comfy, light weight, breathable, durable! Ticks all the boxes.

The fit and colour are perfect

My dog has about five of these harnesses in difference colours - they are great!

It barely fits over my 10 week old mini dachshund but will work for the time we need it for, was hoping he could grow into it a bit more but it works for now, the material is breathable and the body belt is adjustable, overall like it

We needed something that wouldn't irritate under our dog's front legs as all the other harnesses are rough straps that go under and leave him raw and irritated. He needs to be in his harness at all times as he's a runner and we need to be able to grab him easily so finding this one was great. It's soft under the arms and only has one strap around his middle. Here's hoping it will continue to do the trick as so far he's very comfortable with it on.
