Dog leash chest harness
Chest straps, affectionately known as dog straps or chest backs in folk culture, are an ideal choice for dogs to travel.
The chest harness, an essential tool for dogs to travel, consists of two clever parts: one is the leash, which is responsible for guiding and controlling the direction of the dog's walking; The second is the chest and back part, which is designed like a triangle, both fashionable and practical, and can be easily fixed on the dog's chest to ensure safety and comfort during travel.
Sizing
It is particularly important to choose the correct size to ensure that dogs are both safe and comfortable when wearing chest and back clothing. A simple and practical measurement method is to have the dog stand, leaving a distance of about four fingers below its forelimbs, and then circling around the widest part of the chest. The measured circumference can be used as a reference for selecting chest and back sizes. It is worth noting that if the size is chosen improperly, dogs may not be able to withstand the pressure on their chest and back, and may even break free from their restraints, leading to safety hazards. At the same time, an inappropriate size may also compress the dog's neck, making it difficult to effectively distribute chest pressure, thereby causing discomfort and even pain.
The key step when wearing chest and back straps for dogs is to adjust the straps on the chest and abdomen appropriately. Loose straps may cause dogs to easily break free, while tight straps can affect the health and comfort of dogs, as the tightening effect of the buckle may rub against the dog's skin, causing pain. Therefore, when adjusting the straps, the following principles should be followed:
The chest straps on the chest and back need to be adjusted to a moderate degree of looseness, so that four fingers can easily fit in, which can ensure the comfort of the dog without restricting its activities. For specific sizes such as Baby1 and Baby2, only two fingers need to be left empty.
If your fingers can easily slide under the chest strap, it indicates that the straps on your stomach have been adjusted to the appropriate tightness.
Open the button of the chest strap and lay it flat on the ground, forming an "8" shape. Next, simply place the two front legs of the dog into two circles, then lift the ends of the buttons and fasten the hooks on the dog's back to complete the wearing.
