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
The small stuff of a dog walk fills your pockets: poo bags, a handful of treats, keys, a phone. A saddle-bag harness moves it onto the dog instead, and most dogs who like a job rather enjoy being given one. The pockets sit either side of the spine where the weight balances itself, and you set off with your hands free and nothing rattling in your coat.
It is built as a harness first, with a padded body panel and faux-leather strapping that gives it a retro, streetwear look rather than the technical mountain-gear appearance of most dog packs. The whole thing weighs 150 g empty, which tells you it is designed for a light everyday load rather than expedition kit. Two side pockets close over, and it goes on and adjusts like any vest harness. Three colours are offered: blue, grey and red.
- Saddle-bag harness worn by the dog
- Two side pockets for bags, treats and keys
- Padded body panel with faux-leather strapping
- 150 g empty
- Three colours: blue, grey and red
- Adjustable vest-style fit
Keep the load light and even. No carrying capacity is published, so pack it by feel and split the weight evenly between the two sides, or it will slew round on the move. Growing puppies and dogs with any joint or back trouble should not carry anything at all. This is for bags and treats, not shopping. If you were expecting a carrier you wear yourself, this is not that product.
Who it's for: Owners of healthy adult dogs who want to walk hands-free and have a dog who enjoys having a job to do.
