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?
-
Measure your dog's chest circumference accurately.
-
Choose an adjustable model that fits well, but is not constricting.
-
Please note the material: breathable and soft prevents friction or irritation.
