Measuring for a harness

 

The harnesses, collars, leads and the cotton recall lines can all be machine washed at 40æ. 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 are a few examples of which size harness and collar will fit which breed:

This is how to measure your dog for the harnesses:

how to measure your dog for the harnesses


Measure B (back)
To measure the back, start at the point of the arrow and measure all the way over the dogs back to the same point on the oposite side. The measure should not be taken directly behind his legs, as the harness will then chafe his elbows as he walks. Therefor the measurement needs to be 3-5 cm behind the elbow (where point B and C meet).

Measure C (chest)
This is the chest measure and again, 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.
