— Bettylousbaby

"My puppy is seven months old Siberian Huskey am as the good lord is my witness there is nothing sacred that she will not chew or distroy."

— Stan

"If you're reading the reviews, GOOD! I should've read them before I got this because the harness is way too big and loose on my dog. The dog almost pulled out when I tried to attach a leash and took the collar off just with a small pressure."

Bottom Line

While the harness is well-made, the inconsistent sizing makes it unreliable. More accurately sized alternatives may be better.
