Authentic Puppia Soft Harness, Grey, Medium

UPDATE October 2015: Ya know what.... I'm sitting here giggling at my previous review (which I've left intact below the asterisks), because I totally and completely take back what I said about there being no chance in hell that a dog could wiggle out of these harnesses.These harnesses are NOT APPROPRIATE for Miniature Pinschers. Min Pins, lovable yet mischievous and always looking for ways to escape, can wriggle themselves out of these harnesses with ease. I learned this the hard way about 4-5 times. With *both* of my Min Pins. It's a damn shame because its a soft and comfortable harness, but they developed this technique where they stretch out their front legs and just hit the reverse button and slip right out of the harnesses. If your dog is one of those "escape artist" breeds, think twice.***I bought this harness in pink and in sky blue for my miniature pinscher. For some reason these have slight sizing variations, although both were ordered in x-small. The pink one fits my dog perfectly, but the sky blue one is slightly tighter around the neck.In any case, I am very happy with this harness. I know for sure there is no way my dog can wiggle out of it, as agitated as she tends to be. The mesh seems to be pretty comfortable. She never complains about having it on, and sleeps with it. I don't take it off unless it is to wash it or to change colors or just wear a collar. It is well sewn and constructed - doesn't feel cheap at all.In terms of fit, the x-small fits her perfectly. She is a 3.5 month old miniature pinscher, about 10 inches high and 11 inches long.. about 9ish inches around the neck. This fits her snugly and comfortably. Hope that helps any min-pin owners get an idea of size.I definitely recommend this harness for a hyper dog who likes to try and wiggle out of harnesses, cause there is no chance of that happening with this one! It's also very cute.

Happy with all Puppia products! The medium size fits our Toy Manchester Terrier perfectly. The spoiled boy has this in many colors! Just throw it in a small item laundry bag to wash and it comes out wonderful. Also love the fact that he is not able to weasel his way out of it!

We have two labs. We bought several of these. They go on the pup bus once a week. (A school bus that picks up digs and takes them to parks and such). They kept escaping their collars on bus. These are great. Easy to put on and take off. Comfortable for dog. Durable and helps control dogs. My only complaint is we have the XXL. They fit great but our labs are small labs. 70lbs and this won’t fit forever. It’s the largest size they make.

After weeks of reviewing reviews until my eyes burned, and researching different harnesses, I decided to go with this harness and the Ipuppy one adjustable dog soft harness "air flex". I have 2 shih tzu's a 10 year old male 12.6 pounds (he is a little on the small side of shih tzu's, being the runt of the litter) and a 3 year old female 9.8 shih tzu (she is on the smaller size also, very dainty). I went back and forth after reading reviews, small size versus medium. I initially had chosen medium, but in the end went with the small. Mistake. The small at the largest adjustment was approx 1 and 1/2 inch too small (for the female) and I'm guessing by eyeing it about 2 inches to small for the male (around the chest). Now i COULD get the head part to go over my females head but would take some wrestling, would probably been ok after I got it over the head, but if its that close, I didnt even bother. My dogs are not the best nor the worst at putting harnesses over them. They will wiggle some but not make it an all out war. So basically the opening for the head is a bit snug and runs smaller while the chest area is about 1 1/2 -2 1/2 inches smaller than the chart sizing they give (judging by the small I ordered). I will be gifting the smalls to friends or perhaps attempt returning (need to review return policy and see if and how much return fee's are). If you have a maltese, peke, small poodle , shih tzu or any similar size breed with weight of 10-14 pounds, maybe a pound or two heavier idk, the small will NOT work. And even going with the medium the part that goes over the head is going to be a lil snug going over ( I don't mind this part as my dogs do not hate harnesses or being messed with, but from time to time due to being excited may wiggle around a bit). Now about quality. The quality seems good and the fabric is soft and comfy. It won't be too hot for the dog (but i would not suggest dark color like black if out in the sun alot, even I dont wear black clothing in summer lol). It looks like it should hold up for a few years and maybe even survive through walking my male dog, or should i say, he walks ME. Regular collars choke them so harness way I would go. If your dog is in between sizes and very hard to fit, i would suggest the Ipuppy one adjustable soft harness because the chest and neck pieces are both adjustable, but does add a lil extra "bulk" around the neck, but not too bad, its better than the Petco harnesses I had tried. Both have their advantages, but this harness looks like it would be more comfortable for the dog around the neck with its simpler design. I sat and examined both of the harness, and decided I would buy one of each. My dogs are very close in size so if one dog develops a preferance, Ill just swap them (my male dog has no issues wearing pink lol) So, to recap, if debating over quality of harness, seems durable and comfy, buy it. If debating over size small or medium, the chest part is adjustable, and the head will be a bit more snug (judging by the small and guestimating on the medium) I prefer a bit snug over too large, looks like it will be bit snug on putting it on but once on should fit good. And my past harnesses seem to stretch a bit after moderate use, and sometimes would get their leg out of them, so i rather a lil snug just going on and be a good fit than it being too big after I get it on and they escape.) Hope this helps, will review the product again when the medium comes in and keep you updated, but for those that need a harness NOW, thought I would offer my opinion. (side note, on the ipuppyone adjustable harness, I would suggest a medium over the small also if you have similar sized breed/weight also, although the part that goes over the head is a wee bit bigger maybe 1-1 1/2 inch bigger opening? Im guestimating, can always adjust it) I like them both and could not decide between the two, so ordered one of each, both are good quality. As far as care for the harness, I would suggest hand washing most harness's and air dry to prevent shrinkage, easy to wash, dry fast anyways

We’re now on our second one of these harnesses, and it’s still our favorite! We’ve tried several other brands, but none have fit our Frenchie as well as this one. French Bulldogs can be difficult to size because of their broad chests and stocky builds, but the large fits our 28-pound Frenchie perfectly. It feels secure without being too tight or restricting his movement, and it stays comfortably in place during walks. It’s easy to put on and adjust, and he seems completely comfortable wearing it. We purchased a second one because we liked the first so much. I would definitely recommend this harness to other Frenchie owners!

Great fit , very durable. The first one I bought 10 years ago still looks great .

I really didn't want to use a regular collar on my dog, so i looked into harnesses. Puppia is pretty much dominating the market with these and there are a few different models out there. This is the first one I got. Keep in mind my puppy (golden retriever) is growing so I knew I'd have to buy a few sizes, so I started off with the small when he was 2 months old. It fit pretty decent at first. But note that you have to force your dogs head through the opening on the harness, it does not stretch or give at all. So it can be rather difficult if they have a very thick head, or not fit right if they have a small head and thick neck. After about a month is was entirely too difficult to continue to get this on/off my dog and I found myself leaving it on for long periods of time, which annoyed my dog itching wise.I then came across Authentic Puppia Combat RiteFit Harness, Camouflage, Medium in medium. It solved the over the head problem and provided some more padding around the neck. It has two clips and velcros allowing you to put it around the neck instead of over the head. The medium size lasted my dog another 6 weeks, after which we're now in a large size (he still isn't nearly fully grown). The limiting factor on the medium wasnt the neck (as it was on the small) but the chest adjustment strap, was at its max and still too tight/no room for growth.All in all I love the Puppia harness, especially the "RiteFit" models. This model I wouldn't really recommend unless you have a specific reason against the rite-fit. If you have a growing dog expect to change out the sizes frequently until they're done growing. If you leave this on your dog for long periods of times, they may itch a lot (at least mine does). And the scratching inevitable tears up the outer fabric on Puppia, which means I might be replacing this more frequently then I wish.

This is my second one of these and they work well. Easy to apply and remove. They clean up well too.

Tal cual como lo describen muy bonito y comodo

Great harness

Excelente material. Muy duradero. Ya pedimos uno mas grande de la misma marca.

I had received this product today's afternoon. The delivary was on esteemated time as Amazon always do.I had done quite a lot research on harness for Emmie, my 11mo old labrador retriver after she torn her former harness (ordinarily one available in the pet shop) and had a chafing at near arm pit.I was searching for such harness which would stud as well as comfortable for her. There are lots but this harness is made up of good meyerials and colors are also very attractive and versatile.I took her for a long walk, it met my expectations... putting in and out is very easy and hasaled free if you know the technique plus it was seems apprearing very comfortable for Emmie (this harness is recognised one of the most comfortable harness for fido, it can not give you control over her pulls like Freedom or Walkezy No Pull Harness)Meterial wise it is same as described online... Very soft air mesh and washable.Overall it met the customer satisfection as well as value of money.Update 1:One drawback of this harness I would like to mention that it is not a ordinary walking harness and is not recommended for those who are new to its use.Remember this harness is mean for training purpose on a long leash or it can be used as sports harness where a dog can free to move at time of outdoor play like fetch game, even he is on leash.But This harness is extremely unsafe as walking harness as the dog if by chance step or pulled backward suddenly he can manage himself out of the harness ( this happen to me twice during walk, where I luckily took her under control.)So if you are looking for a walking harness this is definitely not a good choice.

Our dog no longer fits this but the harness was well loved and used when he was smaller
