A few years ago I came across dog owners using the Puppia Dog Harness. They were all over. I was intrigued enough to do some research and find out about this dog harness. After talking to dog owners I found out what the fuss was all about. The Puppia dog harness is made for small dog breeds. It is not a collar, but a harness that you clip the leash to. The harness fits over the dog's head and buckles on the dog's back. It rests just below the neck/throat area. The harness is made of soft mesh material or soft cotton/poly blend material. Most Puppia harnesses are machine washable.

For dogs that are active walkers, i.e. pullers, the Puppia harness takes the pressure off the throat area so that the dog doesn't choke and cough. I have spoken to many dog owners who use the Puppia dog harness and they all find that it is easy to get on, and their dogs seem to think it is very comfortable. Another benefit is that they come in many colors and styles so the dog looks good to.

The Puppia Dog Harness is so easy to get on and very comfortable that dogs tend to get more exercise wearing it. I have had dog owners tell me that small dog breeds can sometimes develop neck and spine problems but using the harness can help to prevent the problem from happening.

Are there other dog harnesses out there? Yes. Puppia is not the only one. However, I have found it to be the most popular choice for the small breed dog owners I have spoken with. Why? They tend to be well made and they do not rely on velcro for closures. We all know an active dog wearing a harness with Velcro closures only can easily pull out of it. It is important for active dogs to wear a harness that has quick release buckles for closures, so they do not get out of their harness on a walk. These are just some of the benefits gained from using a Puppia Dog Harness.
