🐾 Pets term
Harness
A strap system that goes around a pet’s chest and shoulders, spreading pressure more evenly than a collar when walking on a lead.
Why it matters
A harness can be more comfortable and safer than a collar, especially for dogs that pull or pant heavily.
🇸🇬 In Singapore
Walking dogs in Singapore’s heat can be hard on them, so many owners choose a well-fitted harness and walk early in the morning or in the evening. AVS provides guidance on caring for pets.
Tips before you buy
- Measure your pet before buying.
- Check the fit lets two fingers slide under the straps.
- Expect to size up as puppies grow.
