Happy National Taking a Walk Day! What a better way to spend time with your dog with an active activity that is beneficial for you and your pet. With Spring approaching, this is the time when pets become eager to go outside and enjoy some fresh air.
When taking your pet outside, it is important to be aware of the proper safety and care for your pet. The first step is to ensure you have the proper leash and harness based on the size and weight of your pet. Leashes and harnesses come in all different styles, shapes and sizes. What works for one, may not work for another.
If the harness and leash are too small, it can cause discomfort. If the harness is too big, your pet could potentially slip out of the harness. It is recommended to put the harness and leash on before you reach your destination, to ensure that your pet is secure and comfortable.
Just like us, they have the same size ranges. According to Pawsafe, here is the ideal guideline to ensure the correct size harness based on your pet's weight.
