Benefits of Using a Dog Harness

Using a dog harness can provide significant benefits when caring for your pooch. Unlike a collar, a dog harness distributes the weight of their lead evenly across the chest, avoiding neck injuries and promoting better posture.

They also give you better control than a traditional dog collar, reducing the risk of your pup running off or becoming unruly in public. For bigger dogs, a dog harness adds extra security, offering an effective safeguard for both of you.

\At Betty & Butch, we have a range of comfortable, adjustable and stylish dog harnesses that ensure that your pet will be safe and secure while keeping them looking great too!
