Does anyone have a cosy dogs fleece harness for their dog? Im thinking of getting one, mainly for the car but possibly walking too. I met someone with a cocker yesterday who had one on and it looked really nice and comfortable and very soft..the one we have at the moment its just awful so I want to change asap!
-
If had the dog games fleece harness, its lovely and soft, only thing is I like to use the same one for the car and the fleece harness says its not suitable so I just use the ezydog for both.
I got the fleece one from doggames.co.uk
-
so the cosy dogs isnt suitable for car and walking? I actually rang them yesterday to find out as wasnt clear on the website...
I want to use it for both to save messing around with a wriggly 18 week old! I shall have a look at the ezydog one...

ok read your msge wrong, I shall find out about the cosydogs one as does look really comfy failing that easydogs looks good...did you go for the quick fit dog harness (is it really?) or the chest plate harness?

Hi Sarah, Im sure I did read on the dog games website they advised a separate harness for the car.
I use ezydog chestplate harness and just it comes with a seatbelt attachment.

I use ezydog chestplate harness and just it comes with a seatbelt attachment.
I keep the same harness on so there is no faffing around with changing harness when he goes into the car etc.
I also bought another seatbelt extension so he has a bit more movement as the one that comes with ezydog harness tethers them quite close to the seatbelt.

perfect, easy harness it is - im looking at a size medium as although he is only 18 weeks he is big and is already in the size guidelines just, is there quite a lot of movement in them in terms of making them bigger and smaller?

Ollie has an ezyfit quick fit, it is easy to put on. I bought his seat belt attachment fromPAH for about £3.50.

We have fleece lined harness form dog games too & it doesn't bother her at all. Shes happy to even sleep in it!

Yes there is a lot of movement, Riley 7 months is just into the medium one, he is 12kg.
I have the chestplate, it looks so cute plus it supports the chest area, so easy to put it on, cant imagine the ezyfit even being any easier as this is on in two seconds, just put on the chest area, clip one part on shoulder then under leg and over back with the other.

We have an ezydog harness (chest plate) and use the included seatbelt attachment which is great. Mollys is a size small though, and there is still a lot of room in it at 12kg. The medium certainly wouldn't have fit her at 18 weeks and she was a chunky pup!
Also I don't think you're meant to use car harnesses until pups are 6 months? We used a crate until then :blink:
-
maybe I should go for small then....I am hearing so many differing opinions about when a dog can go on a harness in a car if its definately 6 months then I will have a rethink for the minute - does anyone know where I could find this information from?
