Review on Breathable Mesh Harness For Small And Medium Dogs With Reflective Soft Padding - Joytale Step-In Harness In 12 Colors (Teal, L) by Pete Door

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Size chart wrong, items run really big

I've ordered two of these harnesses, one medium for my dachshund mix and the extra large for my rat terrier mix. Based off the size chart provided, my Dachshund mix should have been at the largest possible size to fit into a medium harness, yet the medium harness is almost too big for her and barely fits when I do the velcro as tight as possible and it still leaves wiggle room. Doing the velcro like this makes it very hard to buckle and get a leash through the two Loops because it causes bunching. My rat terrier mix has a chest size that is 1 inch larger than the maximum for the extra large harness. Knowing these run big I decided to get it for him anyways and hope that it would be a good fit. Even with him being too large according to the size chart, the harness is still quite loose on him and he was able to slip out the very first time I put it on him. I would highly recommend ordering a size down. Other than the sizing issues, harnesses do same fairly well made as long as the velcro hold up. I have not had the Ling enough enough to really test durability but they seem well made. There are no parts that would rub and irritate the dog under their legs or anywhere else, and the reflective strips work well. They do seem comfortable and my smaller dog really likes hers. They are very easy to put on compared to other harnesses we have own. The reason for the lack of stars is the complete inaccuracy of the size chart as well as the fact that these are not at all adjustable so the range list for the sizes, is a complete joke. Either the harness will fit or it won't, there is no adjustment to it. We now have to return the extra large harness and get a smaller size, and we may need to do so for the medium one as well to be on the safe side as I would hate for her to get out and get hurt. If they would correct the sizing issue, I could see this being a five-star product.
