I have a minpin who slipped out of every harness I purchased. I bought the webmaster harness and he cannot backout of it, or escape at all! Wonderful product. I gave it a 4 star only because the straps have to be tightened each use. Also, underneath is so close that he pees on the harness each time.

wonderful!

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

My dog is 13 and has arthritis and she sometimes loses balance. I needed a handle to grab while we cross the street.

I've tried other harnesses, but they are just strips of webbing and the harness scrunches up. The back of this harness is stiff (but not uncomfortable), so when I pull up on the handle, there is belly support.

It's also a beautiful color (the red current) and people ask me about this striking harness when we walk in the park.

Also, the company is easy to work with. If you have any problems, they will take care of them without a fuss. Great customer service.

This is the leash you should buy!

I actually use it as a work harness for my pup. It seems to be very comfortable for him; more comfortable than his old harness. The only issue I am having is that the harness seems to become loose and slip to one side or the other especially if he's been swimming. Otherwise a great work harness.

Fantastic!

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I purchased this harness for my dog that was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in hopes that it would help her get around more easily. I work in a veterinary hospital and Ruff Wear harnesses are the only harnesses that our patients use while they are hospitalized. They work terrific for animals that have lost mobility or are currently weak due to illness. Unfortunately, my dog passed away before I received the harness. However, my young and very "full of energy" female pitbull of 60 lbs has taken ownership of the harness and my husband and I can't believe what a difference it makes in walking her. It gives us much more control of her and she seems very comfortable in the harness. Whatever the reason you use this harness, it is a great product and and my dog thinks so too!

I purchase this product for my terrier who is mostly blind,deaf, and has a missing front limb, which is difficult to buy for.
It fits him with security, minus the leg, and enable me to move him around objects with ease. It is very well made and will last for years to come.
My only wish, is that the handle on the smaller sizes could be bigger.

Very well made but there's an issue with sizing

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I ordered this in XS is for a tubby little fellow and I based the size on the girth, as suggested on the size chart by Ruff Wear. I do wish they had also included the length in the size guide for this product. While the harness fits his chest perfectly, it is too long for his body and cannot be worn. What a shame, this really seemed like the perfect solution. He's overweight but has managed to slip out of every other harness we've bought, so it isn't safe to walk him. I'll gladly recommend this product because it's so well made, but have to take away points for lack of sizing guidelines.

My canine companion(s): Shar Pei

Excellent

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I read the reviews and also called customer service because I was unsure if I should get a S or M sized harness for my dog whose girth is 29.5 inches. Customer service said to go with the small. It took three days to receive my harness which arrived today SATURDAY by FEDEX. Fast shipping. At first I thought the harness was to small. But with some thought and patience I figured out how to adjust the two straps. The part to adjust was hidden inside the comfort pad on the strap. The first strap behind his legs is at the end of the part of the strap that keeps the strap from pulling through the connector. Even though there is no more strap available to adjust the front strap, it is comfortable on my dog. I did have to loosen the straps under the neck for comfort. Very easy to do.
The second strap on the belly is plenty comfortable with room for stomach expansion. Although if my dog got fatter the front strap would no longer fit any girth increase. I have a male dog and the back strap is positioned about two inches from his penis. No interference with urinating at all. My dog seemed to like this harness much better than his old no name brand one I bought a PetSmart. I also had very good control with this harness as our first time out we came across two labs being walked together who wanted to eat my dog. My dog responded with a bit of aggression and I was able to hold on to him easily because of this new harness. Because of his wrinkles I had to be careful with the old harness because on several occasions he was able to pull it off by backing away from me and wiggling it off. He will not be able to do this with the Ruff Wear Harness. Also keep in mind this is an athletic fit harness. If you don't have to worry about your dog getting out of his harness and your dog has a girth of 30 or more I would go with a medium. I almost went with the medium but because of the wrinkles and his ability to get out of every other product I have tried the small was the best choice for him. He weighs 63 pounds; if he gains weight as he ages I will have to upgrade to the medium. But I do love this harness. I was between black and red.. my kids choose black. I am sure the red looks great also.

We bought this harness for our 11 year old lab to get him in and out of the car. Because of his arthritis, he needs help with mobility and this webmaster harness is perfect.

We also purchased one of these for out 6lb italian greyhound mix and though a tad big for her, she moves with ease on the trail and in our home. We also purchased the Palisades Pack which comes as a webmaster harness with the packs off, for our lab puppy and with that harness we can easily pull him out of the water or carry him across the hot blacktop to the park. This harness is a MUST HAVE for your dog. Well worth the money.

My 15 year old boy had a weight bearing front toe amputated. I ordered this harness ahead of time and it came very quickly. I can't imagine how I'd have managed those first few days of rehabilitation with out it. It is the only one out there that provided support for his deep, heavy front torso as many others lack the firm chest straps. He is healing nicely now and slowly adapting to his newly configured front paw. The harness will be helpfull in future as age diminishes his leg strength.

I purchased this harness for my elderly dog who has difficulty getting up when laying down and squatting to do you know what! It has made a world of difference in her life. The handle allows me to provide the lift she needs to get up with ease and feel secure when needed. I also really like the location of the leash hook. She no longer needs to wear a collar and I am able to gently lead her where I want her to go.

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I bought this harness to help my old dog get up and down the stairs and for my puppy to wear while hiking. While there is at least a 10lb difference in their sizes, it fits them both. Mordecai likes having the extra help up the stairs and Max loves everything! It's nicely padded and comfortable for the dogs to wear. It was a little difficult to adjust the harness but once adjusted it fit great.

This harness is also serving Max great while in training as a service dog. It let's me keep close control of him and put him where he needs to be. We love it!

We use it on our sailboat to keep the dogs from straying too close to the edge when underway. We also use it with this dog to keep her on the boat when we are at dock as she runs away in a heartbeat. It is great to know that she can't escape from this harness.

We had an earlier version of this for our Dalmatian (who was bigger than our current "rescue" dog.) This updated version has a metal tether/leash loop which is much improved over the old plastic one.
The padding has also been improved helping to keep chafe down to a minimum when the dog needs to wear the harness all day long.

This harness is the best i have ever found by far. Your dog will stay in place and the straps are nice and soft to avoid rubbing. People call it my dog's batman outfit because he looks ready for action. The only bad thing i will say is the lack of a light loop. I believe since the upgrade of the leash ring (GREAT) they thought that the metal might crack the light. I have put the light on the back strap but it flops around and it is not the same. Please fix this in the next model and you will have a perfect harness.

My Sheltie is handicaped - she is semi paralyzed in her rear legs and I use the harness daily. I have two harnesses so I can have one in wash and one on my dog. The harness makes it easiler to assist her movement and to pick her up. She has also worn the harness for swimming and in a water treadmill. The Bark'n Boots are also fabulous! I use them on her rear feet when she is in her wheelchair to keep her toes from getting injured if she drags her feet. I don't know what I would do without either product because they make it so much easier to care for my handicaped dog.

These harnesses are incredible. We have tried many, many harnesses on our working dogs, and none have performed all that well. Our dogs are working dogs, and when working on-leash are often pulling so hard that they cut off air flow by compressing their tracheas. These harnesses distribute the pulling force very effectively, and are the only harnesses we have found that work on hard pulling dogs. The mulit-point attachments and handle on the top are useful desgin elements, and they fit like a glove. The reflective trim makes for a great safety bonus. The first time we put them on our young dogs in training, we expected a fight.... they fit so well the dogs could have cared less. These are the best harnesses on the market!

These harnesses enable our dogs to assist us in pulling in the PWC's and allow us to "keep a handle" on them in dicey situations on the beach, since they are not law enforcement dogs. I do wish the straps were better contained. Seems as if the extra material is always flapping in the wind. Our labs are almost 100lbs. but thin and fit, so the straps are long on them.

Our vet recommended this harness after our dog had hip surgery (hit by a car). We were able to use this harness to help him stand up and to assist him in walking across our hardwood floors. We also used it to help support him when he went to the bathroom so that he didn’t put all of his weight on his back legs and re-injure himself. It has been a lifesaver. I am not sure what we would have done without it. I also want to comment on the excellent customer service at ruffwear. I called to order this on my drive from the vet as our dog was having surgery. He was coming home the next day, so I needed it right away. When I called in the late afternoon, I missed the normal shipping cutoff, but the customer service representative said he would talk to shipping and call me back. He called back within 10 minutes and they made a special exception to make sure this was overnighted to us so we had it when our dog came home the next day. Wonderful product and wonderful people!

It has fared well in the sun and more importantly the salt water. It works so much better than any other harness we've tried as it truly supports the entire body. Dalmatians are very deep chested and I worried that it might not fit or adjust properly, but that was a needless worry. The only thing that would have made him happier was to have one more quick release buckle so we didn't have to put one front leg through the opening. (He hated to have his front feet/legs touched.) I wish we had thought of using this immediately after he had his TPLO surgery this fall - what wasn't I thinking???

This is my second one. I used the first one on long hikes. It made it much easier to wrangle and older 70 pound dog up and over rock ledges. It gave out after three years of heavy wear and tear. Now I use this harness to put my dog out on lead in my unfenced yard, so we can relax in the yard together and she has freedom to wander around. Finally, my dog has very short hair and sensitive skin, so far the padding on this harness has protected her from any sore spots. Other less substantial harnesses have caused problems.

Someone was thinking when they designed this. It is made to easily keep your pooch under control in all situtations. At the same time it was made to be comfortable for the dogs. The only thing I would note is that if your dog is on the border line on sizes go with the bigger one, they seem to run a little on the small size.

I got this harness as part of the Palisades pack for my dog Polar. The harness deserves separate review because it is such an excellent product. I'm a rock climber, so when I got hiking I like to scramble up some low-grade rocks whenever I see some. But my four-legged friend isn't as capable on the near vertical terrain, so this harness was a god-send in giving my puppy a helping hand on the harder sections. The harness fits well, Polar doesn't like me picking her up by the handle, but it doesn't seem like it's hurting her. The material and craftmanship is top notch, and the reflective trim is a nice touch.

I also love the fact that it serves well as a protective harness for the dog when in the car, so you can easily seatbelt her in. It is a bit pricey for a harness, but well worth the money.

We purchased the harness to assist our beagle post orthopedic surgery for a torn CCL. The harness has helped tremendously as we have frequently had to load her in and out of the car for vet and rehab vists as well as navigate many flights of stairs. The harness was easy to adjust and she seems to feel comfortable wearing it. If I had one con to mention, then it would merely be that the strap that goes just in front of her hind legs seems to slip easily, so we do have to adjust that one more than the front and it's a very minor issue since she loves the attention as we get her suited up. As her leg as strengthened, I still prefer the harness - she seems to tug less and appears to feel a little more secure. I highly recommend this product - it's well made, it works as described and really it has been the best find we've found since starting this orthopedic odyssey.

A little over a year ago, I adopted an american bulldog who had lost her front, left leg in an accident. I had a hard time finding a harness that would stay in place. Regular collars did not support her well when she got clumsy and put too much pressure on her neck. The Web Master works absolutely perfect for dogs who are missing a front leg. I could't find any sort of harness made specifically for three-legged dogs, but this one fills that gap! Sadie has so much energy and loves to go, go, go when we go on our walks and this harness allows her to do so, because I am able to support her, so she saves her energy. The quality of the product is great. Totally recommend it. With the summer coming up, I know Sadie will my dying to go for a swim, so I'll be purchasing a Float Coat soon. If it's as durable and well-fitting as this harness, I'm sure it'll be perfect!

It is also too close to his penis. The outwardhound harness is less than $20 & great for my purpose but it is only available in an Xlarge size.

I have purchased the Webmaster Harness as well, and it hasn’t worked very well for my lab. It stops him from walking because the chest padded strap seems too long and bothers his arms. Moreover, the harness moves too much, unless I strap tight, which he doesn’t like. I elongated the front strap so that the padded strap is behind his arms, but the rear strap across moves too close to his penis. The length from nech to tail is 21”, so that the medium should fit him, but I haven’t yet found a way to position this harness well.

Our dog had spinal surgery last month and the neurosurgeon told us to get one of these harnesses. She said it was the only harness she knew of that was actually designed for a dog's comfort and protection. The strength of the harness back and the well-padded straps distributes the pull of the leash across his body so that the pull force does not impact his spine. We have been able to take our dog for walks without stressing about him lunging forward toward the occassional squirrel or slipping in the snow and ice. Our 40 lb Baja mutt has a very strange shape, but we were able to adjust the harness to fit him beautifully. We called the Ruffwear Customer Service to figure out what size to order and they were very helpful and accurate. One great benefit we really appreciate is the ease/quickness of getting our dog in and out of the harness. We have to come home from work several times a day to walk him and we need to be as efficient as possible with the short time available. The quality of the materials, design, and craftsmanship is incredible and we are very proud that Ruffwear is an Oregon company!

Standard poodles are tough to fit in a harness. They have very deep narrow chests and relatively short bodies. My boy is very close to the breed standard in conformation, and is 60 lbs and 26" at the shoulder. He has had cervical disc surgery twice and needs a good harness. I bought the Medium from The Waggle Store two years ago after his first surgery and it was so long in the body it interfered with his privates. I had to cut off the back part of the harness to use it but it was still too big even when I adjusted the shoulders and breast strap as small as possible. This time I bought the Small. This one fits almost everywhere except the girth strap which barely makes it around his chest even adjusted to the end. If it were two inches longer it would work and I'd have a tiny adjustment left. THEN you could say it fits all dogs. In any case it's an excellent harness, well worth the price, and will fit NEARLY all dogs.

GREAT!!

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I love this harness. It has been an absolute life saver in helping stabilize a giant dog as he recooperated from numerous surgeries. He has Wobblers Syndrome and as a result, walks with an unsteady gait. The handle allows me to support my dane as he maneuvers slick floors (at the vets) and stairs. I was able to use the harness to directly lift up my 140 lb dog from the floor when he couldn't stand up on his own. Excellent to use while rehabbing dogs from acl surgeries. I recommend everyone to have one of these harnesses for the versatility.

Very well crafted, easy to fit

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I work for an organization that trains and places assistance dogs for individuals with disabilities, and am on an eternal search to find the "perfect" harness for a dog to comfortably pull a wheelchair. I've tried many, and returned almost as many. The Web Master harness, so far, may not be perfect but is the closest thing I've found - it adjusts to fit snugly on a variety of dogs (very important!), doesn't restrict movement, doesn't chafe under the front legs, and keeps pressure off of the trachea. The handle is unique in terms of pulling a wheelchair; most handles are oriented perpendicular to the dog, rather than parallel, however we've found that it actually has resulted in less "crabbing" and a nicer (and healthier/safer) movement overall. We've wrapped the handle to make it a bit softer to grasp and hold for long periods of time. At least for now, this is my new favorite harness, by a long shot - something especially impressive, given that it wasn't at all designed to be used in this manner (as far as I know).

Far better

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I have both the black and red harness for my pup, well 80lb Glab. Got the harness since my dog is a service animal, so I have added that information to the harness. The harness is some what interesting, trying to figure out a good fit. I think this harness looks far superior to anything else on the market for service animals. Maybe offer some special for pre-sewn for working dogs?

A life and back saver for dog, vet, & me

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

My big guy is 12+ years old and has some arthritis and weakness from a growing abdominal tumor. He is currently in Vet Med acupuncture and is eating home cooked food which has helped him a lot. The harness has made it possible to help him in and out of the RV. Climbing a flight of stairs is easy now with a little lift from me on the handle. My vet appreciates how easy it is for the handler to lift him and move him around. Life is much easier and he is happier because of this harness.
