Dog Harnesses

Q: How do you measure a dog for a harness?

To measure for a dog harness, you&#39;ll need tailor&#39;s tape or a long string that you can measure later. Start by wrapping the tape or string around the widest part of your dog&#39;s rib cage, typically right behind the front legs in the chest area. Make sure the tape or string is snug but not too tight. Once you have the measurement, refer to our sizing chart to find the appropriate harness size for your dog based on their girth measurement. This ensures a comfortable and secure fit for your canine companion.

Q: Does my dog need a collar or a harness?

There are reasons to have both in your dog&#39;s kit. Dog collars are essential for holding your dog&#39;s identification, license, and other tags. Dogs who aren&#39;t pullers can often walk on leash with just a collar. For dogs that pull, harnesses tend to be more comfortable by decreasing pressure on their neck. Harnesses are also more secure and harder to back out of.

Comfortable all day? Freedom to run and play? Our dog harnesses offer solutions for lift-and-assist, training or lead pulling, and everyday adventures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which harnesses are best for dogs?

The best dog harnesses fit well, move well, and allow full range of motion for your dog as they walk, run, and adventure. This all adds up to a quality, comfortable dog harness, and these features all come standard in Ruffwear harnesses.

How do you measure a dog for a harness?

To measure for a dog harness, you'll need tailor's tape or a long string that you can measure later. Start by wrapping the tape or string around the widest part of your dog's rib cage, typically right behind the front legs in the chest area. Make sure the tape or string is snug but not too tight. Once you have the measurement, refer to our sizing chart to find the appropriate harness size for your dog based on their girth measurement. This ensures a comfortable and secure fit for your canine companion.

How do you put on a dog harness?

To put on a dog harness, start by sliding the harness over your dog's head, making sure the Ruffwear logo is facing the right way up. Then, fasten the buckles on each side of your dog's body, ensuring a secure fit without being too tight. Adjust the straps for a snug fit by tightening or loosening them as needed, making sure you can fit two fingers between the harness and your dog's body. Once the harness is properly secured, attach the leash to the harness's designated attachment point and you're ready to go.

Does my dog need a collar or a harness?

There are reasons to have both in your dog's kit. Dog collars are essential for holding your dog's identification, license, and other tags. Dogs who aren't pullers can often walk on leash with just a collar. For dogs that pull, harnesses tend to be more comfortable by decreasing pressure on their neck. Harnesses are also more secure and harder to back out of.

Can a dog wear a harness and a coat?

Yes, a dog can wear a harness and a coat. Ruffwear coats are designed to fit over top of dog harnesses, so you and your canine companion can still explore the outdoors even when the temperatures get chilly. Check out our collection of dog jackets to find the right fit for your pup.
