LupinePet Basic Solid Adjustable Dog Harness, Aqua, X-Small: 9 to 14-in chest, 1/2-in wide

LupinePet products are proudly built in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, using high-quality materials sourced both domestically and internationally.

The most accurate way to choose the correct size range and ensure a proper fit is to measure your dog. A fabric dressmaker’s tape measure is easiest and most accurate. Or, you can use a piece of string and then measure that. You'll want to measure your dog’s girth (around the ribcage at the widest point) comfortably snug against the fur while your dog is standing. Take the actual measurement and add 5% to determine the best size range. This harness is 3/4’’ wide and available in three adjustable sizes: 12-20”, 14-24”, and 20-32”. Please note that all items are handmade. Because every item is cut and sewn by hand, here at our workshop in New Hampshire, it is possible that there will be some variance in our size measurements.

Unbuckle the clasp on the girth strap. The strap with the D-ring should be on top with the D-ring pointing towards the tail. Place the two adjustable shoulder straps over the dog’s head. Pick up the dogs left front paw and place over the sternum strap, so that the strap passes between the front legs. Adjust and buckle the girth strap, this strap should be supported by the rib cage all the way around. Adjusting the shoulders smaller will shorten the front-to-back length of the harness. Adjust the sternum strap to a comfortably snug fit. If you’re unfamiliar with this type of harness, watch our step-by-step guide:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQVpureyykI

To clean your LupinePet gear, spot-clean, machine, or hand wash with warm (not hot) water and mild soap. Avoid bleach, brighteners, or whiteners. Air dry only – do not put it in the dryer. For extreme dirt or odors, pre-soaking in an enzymatic cleaner like Nature’s Miracle or Simple Solution may be helpful. Shampoos and other topical treatments that contain bleaching agents, clarifiers, medicines, or other chemicals can cause colors to transfer to your pet’s fur. We recommend removing the harness while bathing your pet or applying any treatments until both your pet and the gear are completely dry.

No, we do not recommend leaving the harness on an unattended or unleashed pet. It should be removed when the leash comes off to prevent potential snagging, discomfort or chewing. This harness is also not designed for tie-out use.

This harness provides excellent control and security. When used with the front O-ring clip, it can help reduce pulling by gently redirecting your dog’s motion.
