Puppia/Soft Harnesses

Does anyone by any chance have any experience with Puppia or other soft harnesses?

They look pretty impressive, and I'm led to believe they're better for dogs that pull because they give more control and put less stress on the dogs chest/shoulder areas than the average 'strapped harness'. Does this sound about right?

Also... does anyone know how they turn out after being put in the wash?!

Figured beings though they're not cheap I'd ask a few questions first!

Love them, and have a few now

They wash up like new, I normally put them in a hoisery bag, all nice and fresh for the next walk

I like the harness for that very reason, takes the pressure of the neck area, and my boys love them too.

If they have a long coat, warning not to clip coat in fastner when doing up!!

Have links for them if you would like pm me. Also many people buy the wrong size and re-sell on e-Bay

Hi Sarah I have a fleecy soft harness from 'Dog Games'. It is great, easy to put on and it washes very well.

Haha! I'll be bummed if either of my two will EVER get into a Medium!! I swear people think pugs are smaller than they actually are. On average pug males have a 15/17 inch neck and a chest/shoulder measurement that would rival a staffy! Stevie currently wears a labrador harness which we've shortened at the neck so that it doesnt slip over his flat little head

I'm getting him an XL puppia which is 'earmarked' for a collie! lmao!
