Carrie12345 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Years of searching has me so frustrated. I just bought yet another harness online that claimed its XS fit as small as 3.3lbs. It’s ENORMOUS on my 3.6lb dog. Our best success has been with ferret harnesses, but we had to get the most recent one cut off of him because he managed to get a leg through and seriously tangled. I desperately want something both well fitting AND comfy for his bony, fragile body and Tasmanian Devil behavior! And I’m finally willing to pay out the nose for something that truly fits the bill, er, dog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I assume you've tried cat harnesses? Especially the ones made for walking cats? I've found that harnesses are like women's clothes--you pretty much can't use sizes as anything more than a starting point. I try to take the dog with me to pet stores so I can try on harnesses, or make sure to order from a site with easy returns. Or maybe try the opposite approach of that--I wonder if anyone on Etsy does custom made harnesses? Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Cat harness might work if you haven’t tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come in very small kitten sizes. You might have to order online if they don’t have one in store. We use them in the rabbits including the tiny babies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 When I worked near Palm Beach this is the style of harness people used on their tiny dogs. https://www.amazon.com/Harness-Teacups-Puppies-X-small-X-large/dp/B00J63SKP4/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=tiny+dog+harness&qid=1551655965&s=gateway&sr=8-5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
