I really like the design because Ike is great at slipping harnesses and this design he can't slip. Plus, because the sides clip together and then the metal loops attach to the leash, if the clip fails the loops act as a backup to hold it on. I think I paid $15 for the XXL I bought Ike and less for the smaller ones I got for the others.

I like that one. I'm going to go to Petco and look at one. The reason I got Sasha a harness (she doesn't pull) but it seems after she has her collar on and its not tight, but she seems to have some brusing on the neck. Where the buckle sits. I don't know if that is putting too much pressure on her neck when she is leashed up. It happened the other night after she got excited of a squirrel and then a Skunk.

But I figure now that its starting to cool off, we are going to be doing longer walks and I just don't want to hurt her neck because she does get excited every now and then when she sees a critter and it takes a minute to get her attention back. That's the only time she pulls. But obviously it hurt her. I want a harness where I can leave her collar on with her tags and still have the harness on. You know what I mean.

ALSO: Again how does one measure chest size.

If I get the job today, I'm going to stop at Petco for a Harness on the way home. Obviously she won't be with me since I'm coming home from a job interview.

What measurements would I need to know, other than weight.
