Running with your dog
Strong and safety features - the escape proof harness
The harness is designed for pull distribution. It’s safety is not compromised when your dog pulls whilst preventing injuries in your dog’s neck and body. The shape has been designed to narrow as it reaches the waist, which prevents your dog from wriggling out of this harness. It is not an anti pulling dog harness, but it will help protect you and your dog from injuries.
The product is fitted with strong webbing and solid brass d-rings at the attachment points for safety. The top part has a 50mm wide reflective tape to make your dog visible to cars.
Comfortable and soft - the perfect fit harness
Our soft dog harness stands out in how comfortable it is for the dog. There are many types of harnesses in the market, but they tend to be hard and stiff. Our soft quality harness ensures that your dog has free range of motion as it runs, plays or sits in the car. The contact points have been designed to stay clear of areas that produce movement in our dogs, preventing chafing and getting in the way of their impeccable movement. We find these to be the best dog harnesses for running.
Step In Dog Harness
The harness is very easy to put on a dog, just step your dog in. The harness is fastened around the body with baby velcro, a strong but non abrasive velcro that makes very little noise and does not pull on your dog’s fur.
How to Put on a Dog Harness
- Step in
- Fasten the velcro
- Clip the plastic cam & thread your lead fitting through both D-rings
Best Cooling Dog Harness
This is by far the most breathable dog harness in our range. The mesh fabric allows for air to circulate around your dog even when the cooling material is not activated, preventing the harness from overheating your dog if you forget to activate it.
It is the ideal stay cool dog harness: fitted with an internal cooling material capable of retaining coolness for up to 5 hrs when activated. Works by evaporation so all you need to do is wet before you leave or on the go with your water bottle.
- Pour water
- Squeeze out excess
- Top up as necessary
Please be mindful of your dog’s wellbeing. It is advisable to walk with them during the coolest part of the day in the summer. Always test the ground to make sure that it is not hot to the touch, bring a bottle of water with you. Never leave your dog alone in a car on warm days.
