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
Getting a harness onto a wriggling puppy is far easier when nothing has to go over the head. A step-in design lies flat on the floor, the front feet go into the two openings, and it fastens up over the back, with no ears to squeeze past and no scrabbling. For a dog that has already decided it dislikes being dressed, that is often the difference between a walk and a standoff.
The body is padded mesh rather than narrow webbing, so the pull of the lead spreads across the chest and ribs instead of concentrating on the throat, and the mesh breathes on warm days rather than sitting on the coat like a jacket. The lead is included and sized to match, which is a small mercy on a set this light, since the whole thing weighs well under a hundred grams.
- Step-in design, nothing goes over the head
- Padded mesh body spreads pressure off the neck
- Matching lead included
- Breathable for warm-weather walks
- 74g to 84g depending on option

Two things worth knowing. It is a mesh step-in harness and lead set, and the photographs are the accurate part.
Who it's for: Puppies and small dogs who object to anything being pulled over their head, and owners who want the lead sorted in the same purchase.
