Best Dog Harnesses in the UK

JULIUS-K9 is one of the major manufacturers in the pet product industry that carefully craft dog harnesses from German materials. To be more precise, this very model is made from anti-allergenic OEKO-TEX material. This means, the harness is sustainably produced and has been tested for any harmful substances according to the highest Oeko-Tex criteria. Therefore, this product is maximum skin-friendly and breathable. So, if you have had problems before with harnesses rubbing under the neck or arms of your four-legged friends, the JULIUS-K9 will make them a thing of the past.

Also, it’s worth emphasizing that the harness in question has a water repellent cover. Plus, the buckles of the IDC-Powerharness are made from robust material that won’t break even in frosty weather during winter. And to be suitable for use in just about any conditions, it boasts reflective edges and chest strap. This way, your pup will be visible from a great distance when walking in the dark.

On top of that, the harness is designed with a flashlight holder that can accommodate various sizes of torches. It can be used in combination with the side bags that are available for 3L and 4L options.

If you own a particularly active dog, the Rabbitgoo No Pull Adjustable Dog Harness can be the answer to your prayers. As the name suggests, it’s a harness with a no-pull design that will give you more control over your furry friends. All you have to do for that is just attach the leash to the front clip. And every next time your pup pulls, he or she will turn around rather than continuing their forward motion and pulling on the leash.

Actually, this miraculous harness can turn your dog from a ‘power puller’ to a ‘side trotter’ in a matter of a few walks. Once you manage to tame your furry friend, you can use the back leash attachment and enjoy casual walking with no more pulling or choking.

Speaking about comfort, the harness has adjustable slide straps on the neck and chest area that let you customize the fit for your very dog. The straps have soft padding underneath that will give your dog a snug fit yet let the air circulate freely. All the materials are of premium quality, so your small friend will feel ultimately comfortable wearing it.

The LIFEPUL No Pull Dog Vest Harness is another great model for those dogs that get excited when seeing other dogs. It offers a very human way to train your dogs to stop pulling without causing them discomfort.

To begin with, this harness has one distinctive feature - it comes with a convenient control handle. And the said handle is great for many occasions. For example, it can be helpful for those moments when your doggie flips out. You just can pick up your pet and regain control of him, moving him away from other dogs without hurting his neck, nose, or causing any other discomfort. The handle can also serve for pup training or for lifting dogs into a car. And to be completely travel-friendly, the product has a D-ring on the back that is perfect for attaching to a seat belt to keep your dog safe when driving.

The harness is extremely gentle on pet skin. It’s made of durable nylon material with soft padding underneath. It’s washable, long-lasting, and breathable. So, you are sure to have no worries about causing respiratory problems or applying too much pressure onto your dog’s neck.

So far, we’ve put accent mostly on the usability features in this review, such as D-rings or materials. But this model wins it in terms of style. 

In our opinion, this Puppia harness will look fabulous on just about any dog or cat. The key is that the chest part is covered with a wide polyester cloth leaving holes for neck and legs, somehow reminding briefs or a sleeveless shirt. With that, the soft paddings are very breathable and will feel comfortable in all weather conditions. Furthermore, there will be no strain on the neck and chest of your pet as the harness comes with adjustable straps and has a re-sizable belt. Besides, unlike many other harnesses, plastic clips don't go right under the pet's arms. The thing that distinguishes this model is that it's designed to be worn through the neck - the bottom strap goes around the chest behind front legs and then locked with a secure fastener. That way, the stress load from pulling is spread more evenly on the larger surface of the pet's body.

Overall, the harness is really soft and high-quality. It’s also washable, though you should treat it with care and wash it on a delicate cycle. To add, it's available in 12 colours, including plain black or brown as well as vibrant yellow, pink, and even camo. So, this harness is not only very comfortable to wear and use but also ultra stylish, making it a great choice for those who'd like to walk their dog with style.

Are you looking for a cheap alternative to a collar ring? If so, you’re in the right place. The Ancol padded harness is a great entry-level model that won’t break the bank but will help your dog get accustomed to this type of security gear.

Unlike waistcoat-like styles, this harness is extremely thin and is easy to tolerate, particularly for dogs with plenty of fur. Made of light Nylon material, it’s very flexible and almost featherweight. Actually, it’s almost unnoticeable and doesn’t contract with the dog's movements. So, if you own a little devil that doesn’t like any sort of additions and clothing, this may be the best bet for you.

You can put it on by simply getting the pet to stand his front paws in the two large spaces between the straps. Then, you pull it up and close the clasp on the top. The whole process takes a couple of seconds. And afterwards, you can easily adjust it to your dog’s build. The model in question is suitable for small dogs from 46cm to 57cm. However, other options for medium and large breeds are also available (from XS to XL).

Despite being so thin and light, the harness is strong enough to let you lift the dog right off the ground. Most of the dog’s overall weight is supported by the strap beneath the waist.
