Dog almost cut in half by harness

I was reading this news item about a dog that was dropped off at the animal shelter who was almost cut in half by the dog harness.  The owner was tracked down and they found out that the woman never changed the harness that she placed on him when he was a puppy.  This woman left this dog out in the rain and never cared for him.  If she had held him or bathed him she would have known that the harness was cutting into his flesh.  When we choose to place a dog harness on our pet, we must remember to measure it correctly, and remove it when not in use.  The dog harness must be changed as the dog grows or gains weight.  In the case of the above dog, the harness had cut into the dog and the fur had grown over it.  We must measure the dog’s girth, that is around the body, just behind the front two legs.

We carry fancy dog harnesses and jeweled dog harnesses.  If you like hot pink or black the jewels are beautiful and with a matching leash, your baby will look marvelous.  Please be sure to measure the girth with a cloth measure and measure it snugly, so that we can adjust for comfort.  Always check the skin around the dog harnesses to make sure that the skin is not red or broken.  If there is any irritation, please remove the harness immediately.
