Hover to zoomSize guide & how to measure
Harnesses are sized by the chest (girth) — the measurement around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs.
How to measure
- Stand your pet up squarely.
- Wrap a soft tape around the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs.
- Keep two fingers under the tape so the fit is snug, not tight.
- If your pet is between sizes, choose the larger one.
| Size | Typical chest / girth | Rough guide |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 28–40 cm | Toy breeds, kittens, very small dogs |
| S | 38–53 cm | Small dogs (e.g. Dachshund, Yorkie) |
| M | 50–68 cm | Medium dogs (e.g. Cocker Spaniel, Beagle) |
| L | 65–85 cm | Large dogs (e.g. Labrador, Boxer) |
| XL | 82–105 cm | Giant breeds (e.g. German Shepherd, Rottweiler) |
Ranges are approximate and vary by style. Always check this product’s Specifications for its exact measurements.

Full description
A dog who leans into the lead sends all of that force through their throat, and on a narrow collar it lands on a very small area. Spread the same pull across a broad panel of chest and the walk changes for both ends of the lead: less coughing and straining from your dog, steadier control from you. That is the entire argument for a vest-style harness, and it is why it tends to be the first thing a trainer reaches for.
The body here is breathable mesh rather than solid webbing, which matters more than it sounds. Mesh dries out after a wet walk instead of staying damp against the skin, and it does not bake a dog on a warm afternoon the way a padded slab of nylon can. Reflective trim picks up headlights on dark winter walks, the buckle straps let you adjust the fit around the ribs as a young dog fills out, and several of the options arrive with a matching lead already included.
- Breathable mesh body with soft padding over the chest
- Adjustable buckle straps to set the fit behind the front legs
- Reflective trim for early mornings and dark afternoons
- Sizes XS through L, in plain colours and cartoon prints
- Several options include a matching lead in the same design
- Weight ranges from 45g to 167g depending on size chosen
On sizing: measure the girth of your dog's chest just behind the front legs and buy to that figure rather than to breed or weight. Between two sizes, take the larger one.
Who it's for: Owners of small and medium dogs who pull a little and want a comfortable daily harness rather than a dedicated training tool.

Why we chose it
A narrow collar lands the whole pull on a small patch of throat. A broad mesh panel spreads it across the chest, and the coughing stops. Mesh for summer. If your dog falls between sizes, take the larger.
