Safety Advice For Dogs When Wearing Harnesses

Observe for rashes

Check for chafing or inflammation on the skin beneath the harness every 3 to 4 days. Remove the harness right away if there is any skin irritation so that the dog's skin may heal and breathe. Then, put the harness back on.


Various harnesses

Consider purchasing multiple harnesses and switching them out around once per week. When you remove a harness, make sure to wash it so it will be spotless for your next use.


Do not let your dog get too hot.

In warm temperatures and also if your pooch has a double coat, avoid leaving a cushioned harness onto your dog for extended periods since this could cause overheating.


Do not let your puppy or dog gnaw on the harness.

Keep an eye on your dog to observe if he or she bites, nibbles, or tries to gnaw through the harness. Allowing your dog or pup to chew the harness poses a choking risk.


Take a proactive approach to your pet’s health with regular health and wellness checks at your animal hospital Leesburg, VA.
