Recommend a harness which won't rub?

Emmie's got quite a large fatty lump on her side. She currently wears a coat on walks, but when spring comes I'd like to get her a harness as she hates being pulled by her collar (and when she decides to stop dead in the middle of the road, or she takes a dislike to a terrier, we don't have much choice! We are working on this!). I don't want a harness which will rub her lump, as I know she's had abscesses on it before. Here's an idea of where the lump is.. you can kind of see it where she has 3 spots of white on her right.





I've looked at ones like these:

But I have no idea whether they'll be any good 'cause we obviously can't try them on and I don't think they're adjustable? Any ideas?

I bought a Company of Animals "no pull" harness for M'boi my Shar- Pei because I found the Halti Harness she'd been wearing had rubbed sore patches under her front armpits??
Unlike the Halti her new one has fleecy sleeves covering the cords that go under her front legs and since wearing it we've had no problems. I bought mine online from www.viovet.co.uk

I use the same harness recommended above when we go hillwalking, I don't need it for pulling, I just prefer not to be hooked up to her neck.. nice Fleecy armpits.

Do these harnesses go on over the head?
As I have said before Pepsi hates anything going over her head so I am still trying to find something suitable.

Whisper has a (( Perfect Fit Harness )) which I'm very happy with.

It doesn't go over her head as it is essentially made up of 3 different pieces which clip together. Lovely and fleecy!

Some pics of it being worn by Whisper lol.....









Certainly doesn't impede her movement....

Ancol do padded harnessed that don't go over the head, you just put their legs in, and fasted round the back x

My Bo also has the Perfect Fit Harness by Dog Games:

http://dog-games-shop.co.uk/perfect-...ce-dog-harness

Fully fleece lined and adjustable, hard-wearing nylon, excellent quality D-ring attachments (you have the option of a front and back D-ring) and most importantly, very comfy for the wearer. You don't have to put it over their head if you don't wish to either (you have the option of clipping the neck bit on).

Very fast delivery and good customer service. They will also swop bits free of charge if you get the wrong size.

I use the Snugglepets fleece harness, it's wide, soft, fits well and easy to put on (but it goes over the head first without lifting any legs). they also do the Jigsaw ones which I like as well, which come in two pieces so you get an ever better fit, and again, very wide and comfy.

They look very similar H but I really wanted to avoid putting it over her head.

The perfect fit is the same make as the one I had for Mo so it should be fine
