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 |
| Size 5 | 16 to 18 inches | 12 to 18 pounds |

Excellent for Your Pet
By Marufaru on Apr 16, 2021
I've been using Buddy Belts since the early 2000s. All my pets get one and it lasts them forever. It's also safer than a dog collar, especially when you have little dogs like chihuahuas who have fragile throats. My only advice is to keep an eye on your pet as they can wiggle out of it sometimes. It is a harness so adjusting it to a snug fit is best. As for the makers of the BB, they have other products such as leashes. I wish they would make a 6' least as it is the best length of leash for walking and training your dogs. A 4' leash is useless, especially when you have a tiny chihuahua.

Great harness
By GRUS on May 3, 2021
Great harness, all leather and yes, a little pricey but worth it as it will last for many years. I have purchased both the harness and leash and both are made of high quality leather. The harness is great and easy to put on your dog, must make sure that you measure correctly in order not to rub the arm area raw. My dog measured 23 inches and purchased the size 6 and it fits perfect. I would recommend this item.

Best harness ever
By Lisa on Mar 26, 2021
Loved this buddy belt! Buddy belts are the best and excellent quality. I have tried many different brands and styles of harnesses and buddy belts are amazing and my favorite. Yes they are a little pricey but worth it. Plus chewy has free shipping and it arrived the next day! This size 5 fits my 9 year old 15lb Cavalier King Charles perfect. My Cav puppy is in a size 4 at 5 months age and 13 pounds. They work well for walks, car rides and hooking inside carry bags or backpacks. Although if you have a puppy that chews off a harness just don’t leave them unattended with this one because of the price I wouldn’t want to replace it multiple times.

Love buddy belts
By Cupcake on Apr 10, 2021
Always buy buddy belts. Only harness I trust to walk my teacup yorkie. This protects the trachea from harm. Although too expensive for my budget, I try to catch them on sale. Thank you chewey. I highly recommend Chewey’s Buddy Belts on sale.

Great Harness
By GeorgiaPeachy on Apr 18, 2021
This is a high quality harness, it’s not one size fit all, they have various sizes based on your dog’s measurements and weight. I’ve been looking for a nice harness for my furbaby and this is it without a doubt!

Best harness for little dogs
By Debby on Mar 17, 2021
I have had this harness for both my small dogs ( shizu mix and Yorkie mix .. ) my Yorkie is a Houdini she can wiggle out of most harnesses we tried due to her short legs plus she has a partially collapsed trachea so this is perfect as it does not rub anywhere near her trachea...

no more choking
By Deee on Mar 27, 2021
My 6 pound Yorkie fits in the size 3 on the biggest adjustment, these are really small. I got it the next day after the order. We're both delighted. I would buy a 3 1/2 if I need another one. Solid quality - soft yet sturdy real leather.

Wonderful Product
By Lulu on Apr 14, 2021
The Canadians have done it again. This harness is wonderful. I now leave this on my dog all day long and she is not bothered by it at all. Hook up for walks is easy peasy!

Buddy Belts Run BIG!!!
By Caryl on Mar 16, 2021
The sizing chart for this harness is not good. I had to purchase 3 to achieve the right fit. It runs REALLY big. It is quite expensive, but perfect for a dog with tracheal collapse.

Finally a harness that fits!
By Squeaky on Jan 7, 2021
We have tried so many dog and cat harnesses, and Lucy would always be able to get it off because they were not small enough. Buddy Belts is perfect, - they have different sizes so that it actually does fit. Lucy is 3.5 lbs and now has a beautiful harness that fits. And the harness is simple and not bulky like others. Great invention!
