Step-in harness: the ideal harness for small dogs and puppies

A good dog harness ensures comfort and safety during every walk. More and more owners are opting for a step-in harness . This type of harness is specially designed for easy donning: your dog steps into it with their front paws, after which you fasten the harness at the top of their back. This makes the step-in harness ideal for small dog breeds and puppies, who tend to be more sensitive.

What is a step-in harness?

A step-in harness has a simple and ergonomic design. Instead of pulling the harness over your dog's head, you literally let them step into it. This makes putting the harness on stress-free and comfortable.

Benefits of a step-in harness

  • Easy to put on: perfect for puppies or dogs who don't like harnesses over their heads.

  • Comfortable: Lightweight and softly padded, so your dog can move freely.

  • Safe: prevents pressure on the neck and distributes the load evenly over the chest.

  • Ideal for small dogs: especially suitable for breeds such as Chihuahuas, Toy Poodles and Pomeranians.

Step-in harness for puppies

For puppies, a step-in harness is often the best choice. It's lightweight, safe, and easy to use. Plus, super-small sizes are available, so even the tiniest puppies are well-protected from their first walk. Always combine the step-in harness with a fixed leash so your puppy learns to walk nicely on a leash.

How do you choose the right step-in harness?

  1. Measure your dog's chest circumference accurately.

  2. Choose an adjustable model that fits well, but is not constricting.

  3. Please note the material: breathable and soft prevents friction or irritation.
