Basic Dog Harnesses FAQs


What is a basic dog harness?


A basic dog harness is a type of equipment designed to secure your dog and provide control without putting pressure on their neck. It typically consists of a strap that goes around the dog's chest and another strap that goes around their belly, connected by a ring for attaching a leash.


How do I choose the right size for my dog's harness?


To choose the right size for your dog's harness, measure the circumference of their chest just behind their front legs, and then compare that measurement to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. It's important to ensure a snug fit without being too tight or uncomfortable for your dog.


Are harnesses safe for dogs?


Yes, harnesses can be a safe and effective option for controlling and managing your dog's movements, especially for dogs with health issues or breeds that are prone to neck injuries. However, always ensure that the harness is properly fitted and adjusted to avoid any discomfort or harm to your dog.


What materials are dog harnesses made of?


Dog harnesses can be made from a variety of materials, including nylon, leather, neoprene, and mesh. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages, so choosing one that suits your dog's needs and lifestyle is important.


Can I wash my dog's harness?


Yes, most basic dog harnesses can be hand-washed or machine-washed. Always check the care instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure that you are cleaning the harness properly and not damaging the materials.


Where can I buy a basic dog harness in Canada?


You can buy basic dog harnesses online at Homes Alive Pets. Choose from top brands like Rogz, Ruffwear, RC Pets and more.

Daily walks and other outdoor adventures are an important part of your dog’s routine. Every dog should have a collar, but dog collars may not be the safest and most secure tool for walking your pooch. A basic dog harness is a great option for dogs that need some extra support.


A common type of dog harness for beginners is called a step-in dog harness. This style of harness is easy to put on and take off, sits low on the chest to protect the neck, and helps to reduce the stress on you when your dog pulls. The Rogz Reflective Step In Harness is made from soft nylon webbing and has reflective stitching to increase visibility in low light. This adjustable harness easily goes on like a bra, with one leg through each side and clips behind the shoulders for a secure fit.


If you are looking for the perfect small dog harness, then the Canada Pooch The Everything Harness is a full-coverage dog harness with a soft, breathable chest piece. The shape of this harness will be more comfortable for little dogs and can act as a temporary lifting aid in a pinch. Choose from the breathable mesh style for summer, or the water and muck-resistant style for wetter weather.


Fit and function are important, but you want your dog to look good too. Fun patterns like the Fuzzyard Go Nuts Dog Harness are sure to get your pooch some compliments. Your dog will be turning heads in the vibrant and fashionable Woof Concept Polygon 2 Dog Harness.


For an eco-friendly option, check out the Hurtta Weekend Warrior Eco Harness. It’s made with a 100% recycled polyester shell and a soft inner lining with reflective trim for better visibility in low light. The everyday harness is supportive and padded for maximum comfort and security. The durable, quick grab handle is perfect for quickly securing your dog in a stressful situation.
