Measuring for a harness
The harnesses, collars & leads can all be machine washed at 40Deg. There is a 1 year guarantee on all the products below. However, we will not exchange a product that your dog has bitten to pieces, so keep it out of your dogs reach when it isn't being used. Here is a guide for harness sizes by example breed: size 0 - Chihuahua and other very small breeds
size 1 - Yorkshire Terrier and other very small breeds
size 1.5 - Dachshound and other small breeds
size 2 - Westie and other small breeds
size 3 - Springer Spaniel and other medium sized breeds
size 4 - Border Collie and other medium sized breeds
size 5 - Golden Retriever and other large breeds
size 6 - Newfoundland, Greyhound and other large breeds
size 7 - St Bernard and other large breeds
size 8 - Irish Wolfhound and other large breeds To fit properly we recommend you measure your dog.  |
Measure B (back)
This is a measurement around the body. The measurement should not be taken directly behind his legs, as the harness will then chafe the elbows as they walk. Therefore the measurement needs to be 3-5 cm behind the elbow.
Measure C (chest)
This is the chest measurement, it is from side to side but this time around the chest area. You should measure where the chest bone is protruding (it is a hard bone that sticks out just under their throat). If the chest piece is lying below the chest bone when he is walking, it will get in the way for his movement and if it lies above it is no better than a collar.
The harness on the picture to the left is a perfect fit to the dog - just in the right place of his chest and far enough from his elbows not to be uncomfortable for him |
