Downtown Pet Supply Step in Dog Harness for Small Dogs No Pull, Small, Atomic Yellow - Adjustable Harness with Padded Mesh Fabric and Reflective Trim - Buckle Strap Harness for Dogs

Both I and my pup are extremely particular about dog harnesses lol. So I waited a year to write a review on this to see about wear. This is a long one - but I hope it’s helpful. Also adding a bunch of photos so you can see fit!Davey (the cutie in all the pics I added lol) is my rescue dog who was basically feral 10.5 years ago and therefore, he has some quirks lol.- the biggest being no harnesses that go over his head. So a step-in was a must.- the sound of metal scares him so as little metal as possible was good for us (just the D rings are metal - which is good).- Quick process of putting it on is also important for Davey. He gets very nervous putting his gear on for walks and if I have to sit there and tighten buckles and such for several minutes - he will freak out and either have an accident or try to run away from the harness. This is a breeze to put on for both of us.I, being the owner of a former feral pup, have some requirements of my own lol.- the metal D rings because Davey does sometimes pull (not often, but if he sees a pigeon or a squirrel it’s gonna happen) - and these make me feel much safer than plastic for him not being able to snap the harness open or have it detach from the leash (which I had happen once with a different harness while in a massive state park and was very grateful another hiker was only a few paces in front of me and blocked him from running off).- Fit is extremely important so Davey doesn’t Houdini out of his harness (admittedly he hasn’t done this in several years thankfully, but he used to do it constantly. He even got out of the Goobi no escape harness).Davey is a jack russell terrier mini poodle mix to the best of mine and his vet’s guess. He is considered a small/medium sized dog at about 20lbs (he wears a large in this harness btw). So he has a sort of long but still stout in the chest shape that is really hard to find things that fit him. On top of that we have the “fur issue” lol. The main reason I added so many pictures is for anyone else with a dog like Davey - this harness is perfect for no matter their fur level. Davey’s curls grow insanely quickly. So I need a harness that can work around that when he’s fluffy. But also one that will fit him when he is shaved down for the summer (he’s single coated so it is actually good for us to shave him down cause his fur is actually hair and will not help cool him). I even added a picture of him from December where he is *extremely* fluffy (I got the flu and then his groomer closed and the new one had a month wait so he was very overgrown) and this harness still fit.I love the fabric (the dinos are very very cute) because it isn’t too slippy, but isn’t rough also. It feels a little squishy almost - not like it’s heavily padded, but like it’s a neoprene material that is a tiny bit spongy - which I like because it’s comfy for him but also because it’s weatherproof (we live in the Midwest lol - rain is a thing we have to contend with regularly). It dries very quickly when it gets wet - like just hanging it on it’s hook, it’s dry or close by our next walk. The stitching is well done throughout and we haven’t had any issues of the harness falling apart even with basically multiple daily use for a year in all seasons.My *only* caveat here is sort of a double edged sword. The reason this harness works so well for Davey is because of the Velcro. I can pull it in when he’s got less fur or leave it less tight when he’s fluffy. It’s comfy for him to wear and goes on in a jiffy. But because I tighten the Velcro - the inside of the material in that area is fraying. Not in a way that lessens the effectiveness of the actual harness, but in a way that doesn’t look as nice when I don’t need to tighten it so much. I do worry over time that this could wear down the stitching in this area. And the Velcro has worn down a bit to where it doesn’t feel as “sticky”. It is still connecting securely, but the top edge does lift a bit more than it did when we first got it.Another note I will mention is the fabric that connects the buckle to the harness is just fabric. It’s well stitched and we haven’t had an issue with it - but I have noticed it seems to have stretched out a little bit over this year. Not a deal breaker since it doesn’t hinder use - but worth noting if you have a big puller that this might not be a good fit (also highly recommend a bungee style leash for pulling - we’ve used one for 6+ years and it’s taught Davey not to pull and when he does, my arm isn’t yanked around and he doesn’t damage his throat because it just bounces him back - which is also kinda funny lol).I tried to add a bunch of pictures of Davey at various levels of fluff lol and also various positions. He is an energetic bouncy curious dog even as a senior now - so he puts his gear through their paces. You can see when he lays down, the harness does bunch a little near his shoulder. I think potentially if this harness was a tiny bit longer in the chest, this wouldn’t happen. However, this didn’t cause any issue for us - the minute he stood up or sat, it went right back to being flat and flush to his body.I am probably going to purchase a new one - of this exact harness - just because of the Velcro being less “sticky”. If it were only me walking him I would be less worried, but I have trips coming up and friends will be watching him for me and I want to ensure the harness is in tip top shape (because I am a helicopter dog mom lol). Overall, I adore this harness both for my comfort in keeping my best guy safe, and for his own comfort in meeting his needs.

I absolutely love the Downtown Pet Supply Step-in Dog Harness! The donut pattern is adorable and adds a fun touch to my dog's walks. The harness fits my small dog perfectly, and the adjustable straps make it easy to get the right fit. I appreciate the padded mesh fabric, which keeps my pup comfortable, and the reflective trim adds an extra layer of safety during evening strolls. It's also super easy to put on and take off, thanks to the buckle strap design. Overall, this harness is a fantastic choice for any small dog owner looking for both style and functionality!

I bought this in XS for a small dog, but it was a bit tight on her, so I gave it to my daughter, who is training her cat on a leash. The body is a little short because the cat’s body is longer than the dog’s, but the girth is perfect. I later bought a Small to see if it fits my small dog. The only complaint I have is that it has two leash rings, and I wish they had included a heavy duty key ring to attach them to one leash ring. You can buy one separately, but I think it’s something they should have included.

Needed a XXS and that’s what I got. Lovely purple shade for my 9 week Yorkie baby to grow into in a few weeks. Might still be a little big when I just get her.

I was really wanting a cute harness for my boy dog that wasn’t too girly, but not just a boring color either. This dinosaur harness was PERFECT and had the cutest pattern on it. I was concerned about the size because we had a different one that was too big for him, but we got a size small and it fit him perfect. He is a 10 pound maltipoo. The harness itself isn’t very adjustable which is why it’s important to get the right size. It was a little more than I wanted to spend on a harness but was worth the price to get what I wanted. I also love that it is a step-in harness and has both Velcro and buckle. A lot easier to put on than the ones that go over the head. Highly recommend!

Great dog harness. It fits according to the size chart. The color is good and true to description. I have owned several of these and they hold up well and are easy to use.

Nice product, size-wise could fit my maltese dog great, but it is sewn unevenly, so it fits over one arm great but the one one is crooked - see photo. There is another harness for reference. I have to return the red one because how the shape is messed up, my dog would be very uncomfortable wearing it. Also, the reflection stripes are made of very ridig material so those could rub on the dogs skin - they should be either removed completely, made of much softer material.

Otherwise it’s great!! The design is very cute, it’s not restrictive on our dog and it also does not appear to be itchy while she’s wearing it. The latch is easy to open and close.

Used for a small cat.....although we have cats of differing sizes and wearing different vests.....works great to walk outdoors in the yard. Cat seems to not mind, comfortable fit and clasp closure very sturdy hard plastic. Recommended!

I ordered this harness for my 14 lb shih tzu and it is adorable. I usually order a small for her but I checked the size chart and got a medium. I'm glad I did. It fits very well and she seems to like it! 😊

Just what I was looking for, quick and easy to put on and use, whilst being comfortable.

Bought this harness for my lovely neighbour's chubby Chihuahua, Simba. His measurements were 17 1/2 inches, but got the medium. It's a bit snug, but can still get 2 fingers underneath the harness, so not over tight.He looks so dapper in his vibrant purple harness, which is better for his neck than the collar and lead, as he is a puller on the lead. Was hard choosing which colour to get!

Third time lucky. Bought this in small, then medium and finally found the right fit with a large. Bought fur my 4 1/2 months old approx 16 lb corgi pup. The large seems to fit her the best. She’s young and still pulls so I wanted the harness to walk her without her choking. Seems to work good! Aqua colour is very pretty. I think this was a good purchase for me and reasonable price.
