Good morning Countdown to Friday when Phoebe comes home - yipee!! Decided to go with a puppia harness after reading lots as starting point, can anyone recommend where to get them from and what size, was thinking a medium for the beginning and then get a large for I would imagine not too long after? Many thanks
I think they expand quite a lot.....I know shadow and willow wore theirs for ages. I will let someone who has actually used them to advise you though
I bought this one for bramble when she was 11 weeks old. They do have odd sizing though! The large fitted perfectly until she went onto a collar, I think at around 6 months old. When she was 8 weeks old, she managed around the house and garden in a cheap, mesh pets at home harness, which was £10 or thereabouts, we just used it until she was 11 weeks old then switched to the puppia harness. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003U057E6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
I bought mine from http://petlondon.net/ I got a medium - they were about 15 weeks when I put them in them and they were in size M. They were wore them until they were 9 months! Then we changed to the fleece harnesses from Dog Games https://www.dog-games-shop.co.uk/harnesses-fleece-lined.html
So...puppys Mum comes on for advice re: sizing..and we have just err...given examples of our dogs in 3 different ones!
Hehe, well I didn't include the pictures of Benson and Casper in their different ones again! And I did say they were in size M (actually, twice, reading back. I'm nothing if not thorough)
I think it's best to wait and measure the pup! They vary such a lot. I ended up returning lots of stuff I bought in advance for Betsy - I got the sizes completely wrong.
Hehe! Yes the ruffwear harness they both have and perfect fit for Casper are medium I agree with JulieT best wait for the pup, they you will have an idea where they are on the size scale for a lab pup. As you can see from the thread " How much does my puppy weigh" there is a huge variance between our pups.
Dug out this photo.. Bramble @11 weeks old in her puppia harness in Large. She was a biggish pup, and now looking at the photo, I do remember it being a tiny bit on the large size.
Puppy Willow and Shadow are insanely adorable Getting more and more convinced that Stanley needs a sister. Poor OH
Actually, scrap that. Doubling the number of puppies doesn't mean you have double the trouble. You get way more than that
Both Betsy and Charlie were in Puppia harnesses. I went off these harnesses a bit using them this time with Betsy. I don't know of anything better, but I disliked the ring at the back being on the front of the back section. I thought it created a bit of a 'pinching' motion when the puppy went to run at something.
