The best understand for your puppy that grows.
A puppy grows faster than you think. Here is how to choose the right harness that fits, moves with them, and doesn't become too small after two weeks.
When can your puppy have understand dragon?
From 8 weeks you can start getting used to it. Not immediately go out on the street, start at home. Put the harness down, let your puppy sniff it, give a treat. The next day: put it on for a moment, treat, take it off again. Day three: walk around the house for a minute.
Around 12 weeks, your puppy is ready for short walks outside. Then you want a dog harness that fits well, doesn't shift, and grows with the first growth spurt. Choose one with enough adjustability.
What do you pay attention to when a puppy gear?
A puppy harness must be lightweight, adjustable, and have soft edges. Puppy skin is thinner than adult dog skin, so no hard seams.
Weight
Light material so that your puppy does not experience it as a burden. Our Unboring dog harness is light enough for puppies starting from size XS.
Adjustability
Minimum 4 adjustable points. Your puppy grows the fastest in the first 6 months - your harness needs to grow with them. Check our size guide for the right size.
Soft lining
Softly padded around the chest and armpits. No hard seams, no chafing edges. Material that doesn't smell and dries quickly after a wet walk.
How do you measure a growing puppy?
Measure at the widest point of the chest, not the belly. Use a flexible measuring tape. Your pup is standing relaxed, four paws on the ground. Do not pull the tape tight, just lay it around.
Are you between two sizes? Choose the larger one. Check every two weeks if the harness still fits well - puppy growth is faster than you expect. Size XS starts at a chest circumference of 30 cm, size S at 40 cm. View the size guide for all sizes.
Understand of collar for a puppy?
Puppies have soft, growing neck vertebrae and a vulnerable trachea. A collar is fine for carrying a tag, but for the leash, a harness is always the better choice. The pressure is distributed over the chest and shoulders.
Many pet owners use a combination: a collar with a name tag and a harness for walking. Both are available in the same four colors (Cocoa, Lilac, Moonlight Blue, and Moss) so everything matches. Save with a collar set or harness set.
Frequently asked questions.
At what age can my puppy wear a harness?
From 8 weeks acclimatizing at home. From 12 weeks short walks outside, after the first vaccinations.
How often should I adjust the harness for a growing puppy?
Check the fit every two weeks. Two fingers between the harness and the dog, always. No space? Time for the next size.
Is a harness better than a collar for a puppy?
Yes. Puppies have soft, growing vertebrae and tracheas. A harness distributes pressure over the chest instead of the neck. A collar is fine as a name tag holder, not as a leash attachment.
What size harness for my puppy?
Measure the bust at the widest point. Size XS fits from 30 cm bust, size S from 40 cm. Unsure? Choose the larger size - the harness is adjustable at 4 points. Check our size guide for help.
