"This works well with my dog. I did measure her & thought I got a good size. I’m still using it. Made very well"

— Erin

"There are a lot of straps and it is a little confusing to figure out how to put it on correctly. I honestly would not recommend it. I hoped I could use it for my pug but it is back in the bag and probably going to donate it or just toss it."
