Although dog collars have traditionally been the accessory of choice for dog owners to take them out for walks, the harness has been gaining more and more popularity for the number of advantages it offers and the few cons it presents. And it is that harnesses distribute the dog’s weight across the chest and shoulders, unlike a collar that exerts all the pressure around the neck.
Collars are comfortable to put on but are indicated, above all, for dogs that do not have respiratory problems and that they are not prone to pulling on the leash. Also for those who are going to wear it all day and/or who have very long hair (since the harness can be uncomfortable for them).
However, dogs that do not behave well on walks can hurt their necks, which can even lead to respiratory problems. So a harness may be the best option for owners who need to have a little more control over the dog and, in general, they are more comfortable for playing sports and traveling by car.
Also, although the Julius K-9 brand is especially popular, You don’t have to spend a fortune to have a good one either.. At Lidl we have found the best example with the clone low cost of this model.
This is a dog harness that protects the neck because distributes the pulling force over the entire chest and that it has reflective elements for better visibility in the dark.
Made of polyester, cotton, plastic and metal, it is guaranteed to last for three years. It is available in the German supermarket chain in different sizes ranging from S to XL. In addition, the back is wide, it has a soft lining for greater comfort and the strap is adjustable for the chest and abdomen.
Another interesting point is that it is customizable and includes two pairs (four units) of interchangeable fluorescent self-adhesive stickers with letters. all for a price of 9.99 euros.
However, if we don’t want it in black, we can find it in other colors (although for a higher price) from the Julius K-9 brand, like this one in red, which will also help us to easily locate our pet when we let it loose in the park.
