The Benefits of your dog wearing a harness
Not only does a harness look the part, more importantly they can provide some pretty incredible benefits for your dogs health and welfare. We're here to talk you through some of these.
It is super important to remember that a harness can protect your dog’s neck and spine from injury and there are other benefits to using a harness when you walk your dog.
If you have a dog who is excitable on walks, they will be tugging on the leash which will, in turn, tug on his collar and his neck. A dog can injure their larynx and/or their neck and spine if they are tugging too hard on the lead.
- Be more comfortable for your dog.
- Help prevent your dog from slipping out.
- Be helpful for puppies that haven’t learned to walk on a leash.
- Help avoid injury (such as throat damage) in small dogs who are more likely to pull or tug at the leash.
- Help prevent your dog’s leash from getting caught under his legs.
- Help discourage pulling if you use a front-clip harness.
- Be better for dogs with tracheal collapse (a hacking cough often brought on by excitement, exercise, drinking water, or extreme temperatures).
- Help alleviate dog back pain.
