There are many types of dog harnesses on the market and it is sometimes tricky to know which is best for your dog. The most popular harness is the y shaped dog harness and for good reason. This shape of harness offers a secure fit, while not restricting any movement. They are usually put on over the head, and buckle up around the girth of the dogs chest.

Harnesses can help reduce your dog’s pulling but they should not be used instead of walk training. A harness evenly distributes pressure on the dogs body and avoids any tugging on the neck and throat.

Y shaped harnesses are a preferred choice for many due to their comfort. They slide over the dogs head, have a front panel, adjustable back and neck straps and fasten around the dogs girth. Their thin front panel sculpts around the dogs shoulder so does not restrict movement as other H shaped harnesses may.

Dog harnesses provide better control over your dog and evenly distribute the pressure of guidance over the body. They also reduce the strain on the neck and throat area, preventing chocking and general discomfort.
Their comfort also often discourages pulling.

All of our dog harnesses have full adjustable neck and girth
straps allowing for the perfect fit. Please see our size guide and measuring guide to fit your dog correctly for Lottie & Co dog harnesses.

All of our dog collars are adjustable in length. Please see our size chart and measuring guide to find the best size for your dog.

The Lottie & Co dog collars fasten with a secure, branded plastic buckle. It also has a black metal D-ring for lead attachment.

Place the measuring tape around the base of your dog's neck, where the collar will sit.

Ensure the tape is snug but not too tight. You should be
able to comfortably fit two fingers between the tape and your dog's neck.

Record the measurement in centimetres.

Check out our measuring guide for more information.

It's generally recommended to remove your dog's collar at
night for comfort and safety.

We always recommend hand washing your dog collars to maintain the quality of the fabric. Check out our product care page for more
information.
