Peak Pooch No-Pull Dog Harness - Padded Mesh Reflective Dog Vest with Adjustable Straps & Lifting Handle - Comfortable Walking Harness for Small Medium Large Dogs - Perfect for Training, Hiking & Daily Walks (Pink)

This harness is great. I have a 12 year old 63 lb pit with arthritis in her spine and hips. Unfortunately, we have to go up and down a steep flight of 20+ stairs for her to get outside, and it's become difficult for her to climb them. I bought the harness so I could use the handle to lift her a bit and help alleviate some of her weight to make it easier for her to climb the stairs. I was afraid it wouldn't be strong enough to hold her weight but it's been a couple of months now and it's holding up! I've also used it to lift her in and out of my car so she doesn't hurt herself.Looks and works great. Fits well on a large breed dog, like a German Shepard.Like the bright orange colors.Bright, fits well. Overall well made but metal ring on back seems weak. I'll probably replace it.I ordered a small for my 22lb senior Boston Terrier, who has arthritis and cushings disease, making it hard for her to get up and down the steps, while also urinating frequently. This has been very helpful in saving my back as I was picking her up several times per hour. It's also great since she doesn't hear our voice commands as well as she used to, the handle allows me to quickly remove her from a dangerous spot.The length is perfect for her. The problem we had with fit came down to the straps not being adjustable enough. The V at her shoulders is adjusted as small as it goes and is still VERY baggy - I sewed a few stitches in the nylon straps to shorten it. The straps around the chest and belly have more adjustment, which has came in handy since she is now re-gaining muscle tone in her belly and I have to make it smaller every few days. (I'd post how we are curing her Cushings disease, but it's not FDA approved and off topic so I don't want to get this product review censored. Look around. There is an easy, effective solution.) She doesn't seem to mind wearing it and there's no spots where she has chafing from it, which has been a problem for her with other harnesses.We got the blue and the color is much lighter than pictured and it's quite nice. It has reflective accents that are nice at night. It's holding up well.All-in-all I'd recommend this harness, with the caveat of expecting to have to make some alterations to get the fit right. Also it may not work as well for male dogs due to the placement of the belly strap.My mother's dog was constantly getting out of her harness, while I was watching her she would do the same with me. So I ordered this product and she could not get out it is the best. Do Not Over tighten it for them to get out there's no need for that just place two fingers around where it Clips to make sure that the harness is not too tight and off you go. The harness will not come off.This is just what I needed. My male Jack Russell has some minor neurological issues, it is really difficult to get him outside to walk for excersize. He can back out of all of his other harnesses and trying to drag him with a neck collar does not work. He just will not move and I don't want to just choke him. So I love this harness because when he does a stop mid walk, I can grab the handle and pick him up and help him along until he starts moving his legs again. After using this harness every day on walks for a couple weeks now, his drop and stop moments have lessened quite a bit, he is finally getting in better shape and is a happier dog. The sizing instructions said for between sizes to go a size up, but for a male dog, I had to go a size down, otherwise the back strap chafes his genital area too much, the x small works just great on him, he's a 25 pound Jack Russell (he's a little overweight, soon to be normal weight, thanks to this harness)Our pup is 12 years old now and feeling the effects of arthritis. She is no longer to jump into the car, and the harness made a huge difference! She didn't yelp when we 'assisted/lifted' her and was thrilled to ride again. I strongly recommend.My dog was within the end of large size but also within the XL size so we got the XL and had to exchange for the L because it was too long, the last strap was across his manhood and he was NOT for that, I can’t say as I blame him. So we exchanged for the L and it fits perfectly. So if your dog fits in two categories I would suggest going to the smaller size. It was definitely worth the money and a good product for the price. It’s reflective (even the one that doesn’t say it’s reflective is) the handle is sturdy as well and works good if you need full control. My dog is a big moose and we have good control over him even when he gets excited to see the baby horses in the field next to his walking path around our property.As with other reviewers I have to agree that this is longer than is useful for a smaller dog. I have bought him several items recently in the same category from local vendors but the winter one is getting to be too warm now that it is getting nicer out and in store shopping is out right now so we decided to try this. It says it is only 9 inches long and my dog although not big by any means has taken a medium in most wearable items we have bought but the size of the small seemed right by the listing. If he was a girl dog, it would have been no problem but it basically went right over his junk and there was no way he could go without going all over it or all over himself. We liked the look of it and it seemed like it would be harder to escape from so we went with the extra small one right after. It arrived today and again is right in front of the action on his underside so we ended up having to cross the back two straps to keep the harness out of harms way so to speak. It does look good on him and crossing the straps doesn't seem to put any unnecessary strain on him anywhere so we will just ride it out until we can get into a store to see if something local can't fit him properly but at almost $40 for the XS size, it is a sort of expensive compromise on our end. I just get tired of returning things so if we can keep it clean enough I will end up donating it to the local shelter eventually.We bought this for my dog when he started having more difficulty getting up from lying down. He wore it comfortably for several months. I was able to help him support his weight, even during his last days when his ability to stand on his own was pretty much completely gone. He was 90 lbs and I'm decently active, but not the strongest woman in the world. I was very thankful to have this when my man needed me most.When our 30lb dog had leg surgery we needed to be able to help her on stairs. The vest fit around the chest but was a little lose around the hips. I wish they could be adjusted a little more to be more snug. I bought the orange vest because I thought it was reflective. It is not. There are 4 very small little rectangles that are reflective sewn on - two in front and two in back. They are only slightly reflective. The handle is very sturdy. We've been using it several times a day for a few months now and it's still in great shape.This unit is a blessing for our dear girl. We have an 8 year old small breed dog with arthritis and this harness is a God-send! We can assist her up and down the stairs avoiding shock on her little legs. It allows her to walk a little bit and do her business and sniff around like dogs do. When done we can lift her up the stairs or up into our rv. It seems to be very comfortable for her as she hasn't complained yet. It is also made with reflective material. Has a clip for a leash but we use a collar. Overall exactly what we were looking for. Quality of life for our little girl.After 3 uses the stitching has pulled away, This should not be happening when using very little effort to assist them getting up. Very poor quality
