Choose the appropriate size harness based on girth measurements.

Adjust Shoulder Strap

With the harness unbuckled, place the shoulder straps over your dog’s head.

Adjust the shoulder straps so that the O-ring sits on or above your dog’s chest bone.

Adjust the Girth Strap

Bring the girth strap between your dog’s front legs.

Attach the girth straps to the buckles on your dog’s back. Adjust for a snug fit.

Adjust the strap under your dog’s chest to ensure it is not hanging loose.

When fit properly, two fingers should barely fit between the skin and nylon strap. This prevents the harness from moving and chafing your dog’s skin.
