Specifications

How does the anti-choke feature work?

Instead of attaching the leash to a collar around the neck, this vest-style harness has a D-ring on the back. When your dog pulls, the pressure is spread across the chest and shoulders rather than the throat. This design helps reduce choking risk and strain on the neck, which is why many veterinarians recommend harnesses for dogs that tend to pull.
