Buddy Belts Classic Leather Back Clip Dog Harness
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
Traditional neck collars can cause unnecessary strain and discomfort for pets. In many cases this strain results in damage to your pet’s trachea (windpipe) and/or spine. Buddy Belt has a unique patented design that makes it easy to use. It has only one buckle and slips on in seconds. The most important aspect of the design is the reduction of pressure on the throat or trachea. Pressure on this area over time has been shown to cause problems. In some cases, this pressure can significantly affect your dog’s health and, potentially, its lifespan.
Key Benefits- Eliminates pressure on the throat (trachea) and reduces unnecessary strain and discomfort on the spine.
- Constructed of self-healing durable leather and welded metal hardware for supreme durability.
- Softens and molds to the body for a custom fit for your pup. Add a soft liner for and extra layer of comfort.
- Leather will not fray and is tear and puncture resistant, adding to its durability.
- Easy to use design with one buckle. Simply have your pet step into the harness and buckle up!

Simply have your pet step into the harness and buckle up.
To get the most accurate size harness for your pet, measure the girth of their chest, around the widest part of your dog's torso right behind the front legs, with a cloth tape measure. Pull the cloth tape snug, but not tight. If you don't have a cloth tape measure, you can use a piece of string and measure it with a rigid ruler afterwards. Make sure there's enough room for about two fingers between the harness and your pet's chest for comfort.
| Size | Chest Girth | Recommended Pet Weight |

| Size 2 | 10 to 12 inches | 2 to 4 pounds |
| Size 2.5 | 11 to 13 inches | 3 to 5 pounds |
| Size 3 | 12 to 14 inches | 4 to 8 pounds |
| Size 3.5 | 13 to 15 inches | 7 to 9 pounds |
| Size 4 | 14 to 16 inches | 8 to 12 pounds |

Best harness around for small dogs
By djsl on Nov 19, 2021
I LOVE THIS HARNESS. This is my second one. My baby grew out of the first one. I have a 5lb chihuahua and finding harnesses that are secure and safe is difficult. These are both, plus look sharp and are comfortable to the little pups. They are so slimline that they can be comfortably worn under a shirt or coat. They are quite expensive but I tried cheaper ones only to come back to the one that works.

It's okay & very expensive
By Kat76 on Oct 2, 2021
It's difficult finding a harness that's small enough for the legs of my chihuaha mix but big enough for his barrel body shape This harness has good reviews for barrel shaped dogs. It doesn't fit my guy that well. His chest & legs are on tbe smaller size. The strap that goes around his body sort of rides up in front of his shoulders b/c of the looser fit of the chest & legs. He backed out of it when my husband was walking him but only that one time. The leather is very soft, which is nice but I'm concerned about stretching. I wish the hardware was smaller. The hardware to leather ratio is off. It is very well made & attractive. I can't recommend it for the above & for the price.

Beautiful & long lasting
By Tiffany on Oct 25, 2021
Fits like a glove with my puppy. This harness can take a beating! Durable leather that comes in gorgeous colors. My puppy is a 3.5 IB chihuahua and we’ve had no issues.

Excellent harness
By Freya on Sep 28, 2021
I love the Buddy belt for my jack russell. It fits her perfectly, soft and comfortable. Beautiful leather. It was kind of expensive but absolutely worth it. So happy with this harness.

Adorable and high quality
By Magzee on Jul 9, 2021
These are the only harnesses I’ll buy. 2 of my dogs have had them for 9 years and they are still wearing them! Great quality. Made in Canada, not China where quality and reputation matter. I bought one for my 3rd pug a couple years ago and it still looks new. Just bought a small hot pink one for my moms little white toy poodle and OMG is it cute. I have the matching leashes too, again, top quality and match exactly.

amazingly perfect
By Abracadabzbra on Aug 14, 2021
I will say. I was so hesitant to spend so much on a harness. But after trying 15 and none of them fit my chiweenie puppy properly. I figured well.. why not. And I’m glad I did. I should have gone for the 2 VS the 2.5 but since he can fit both I figured a little room for growth couldn’t be a bad idea. The 2.5 fits great. Is a hair to big but he can’t get out of it and after an hour he doesn’t even notice it. His tag fits on it as well which is nice. I went for the red and it was worth the extra money.

Coming apart in one area
By IggyPete on Sep 18, 2021
I have only had this for a month and the leather is separating at the one part. I just have gotten a defective one. Otherwise I love the harness for my Italian greyhound.

Great Harness
By BulldogRosie on Aug 11, 2021
We bought this harness. Because our boy has a slight bulging disk in His neck and we do not want to put any additional pressure on it. This harness is perfect! No pressure on the neck at all! Very good quality, soft leather, easy on and off and Iggy is happy to wear it.

Didn’t fit correctly.
By Vinnysmom on Jul 4, 2021
I tried 3 different sizes of this harness for my 7 pound Yorkshire Terrier. It seemed to bulky and the leather was a bit stiff. I even purchased the harness liners to help hoping it would fit better but it just added to the bulk of the harness. I have wrote in one review for this product but can’t find it here on Chewy. So I am writing in again. This harness may work well for dogs that have a larger chest.
