No More Guesswork! Here’s How to Measure Your Dog for a Harness

Getting the right harness size for your dog is the key to comfort, safety, and better adventures together! A well-fitting harness prevents chafing, slipping, and discomfort—plus, it helps you stay in control without putting strain on your pup’s neck. Here’s a simple guide to measuring your dog properly so you can find the perfect fit.

What You’ll Need:

✔️ A soft measuring tape (or a piece of string and a ruler) 

✔️ A notepad to jot down measurements 

✔️ Treats to keep your pup happy and still! 🦴

Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring Your Dog

1️⃣ Measure the Neck: Wrap the measuring tape around the base of your dog’s neck where the harness would sit. Ensure it’s snug but not too tight—you should be able to fit two fingers under the tape.

2️⃣ Measure the Chest: Find the widest part of your dog’s ribcage, usually just behind the front legs. Wrap the measuring tape around and take note of the measurement.

3️⃣ Check the Weight: Knowing your dog’s weight can be helpful in choosing between sizes.

🐶 Pro Tip: If your pup is in between sizes, go for the larger size for adjustability and comfort.

Final Fitting Tips

✔️ Adjust the straps so they are snug but not tight—two fingers should fit between the harness and your dog’s body. 

✔️ Make sure the harness doesn’t rub against sensitive areas like the armpits. 

✔️ Let your dog walk around the house with the harness first to ensure it’s comfortable before heading out on an adventure! 

✔️ Always reward your pup with treats and praise for a positive experience. 🐾
