"I love the handle on the top to help my dog into the back of my car. She's getting up in years and it gives her the little boost she needs."

— Tracey

"I thought this was supposed to have a neck buckle as the ruffwear website states."

Bottom Line

Consider this for reflective visibility, but look at other models if a full control harness is needed. Bring actual measurements for accurate sizing.
