Getting the Right Fit for Your Pup
The Daisy Chain Adjustable Neck Harness is designed to be a comfortable and secure alternative to a collar. Getting the adjustment right is key to preventing chafing and ensuring your dog stays safe on walks. The harness slides over the head and adjusts at two points: the neck and the chest. Start by choosing the correct size based on your dog's measurements.
Step-by-Step Adjustment
1. Slide the harness over your dog's head, with the light pink and daisy design facing outward. The black D-ring for the lead should sit on the back or side of the neck, depending on your dog's shape. 2. Adjust the neck strap so it's snug but not tight. You should be able to fit two fingers between the strap and your dog's neck. The neoprene material is quick-drying and gentle on fur. 3. Adjust the chest strap to sit comfortably behind the front legs. The fully adjustable chest strap lets you fine-tune the fit for your dog's body shape. 4. Fasten the side clip. Check that the harness doesn't twist or ride up. If it does, loosen the neck strap slightly and re-tighten the chest strap. 5. Attach the lead to the D-ring and do a final check: the harness should stay in place without shifting when your dog moves.
Sizing Tips for a Secure Fit
The Daisy Chain harness comes in sizes XXS through L. Measure your dog's neck and chest circumference with a soft tape measure. The neck measurement should fall within the range for the size you choose. For example, size S fits necks 35-43 cm and chests 41-54 cm. If your dog is between sizes, choose the larger size for more room to adjust. The harness is lightweight and comfortable, making it a good choice for small to medium breeds.

What to Check During Walks
After adjusting, take a short walk and observe the harness. It should not rub under the armpits or slide forward over the head. If the harness shifts, re-tighten the chest strap. The owner is responsible for checking the condition of the harness regularly, as wear and tear can affect safety. Like all dog accessories, inspect the stitching and neoprene for signs of damage.
