Perfect Fit Harness

Has anyone used one? I'm currently waiting on a reply from the company about which would be the best fit for Rua. They look so much more comfortable than the Halti Front Leading Harness which I bought and will be going back this weekend!

    Not tried a Perfect Fit harness, but can highly recommend a Ruffwear web master harness if the Perfect Fit one doesn't work out.
    I have a simple philosophy:
    Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

    Dogmatic every time. More control than any harness and much conifer than a Halti!

    I had looked at Dogmatic but Rua really doesn't like things around her nose. She had a Canny Collar and I've had to stop using it. It was introduced slowly etc and lots of praise but she learnt had to evade the action of it :( I also found people assumed it was a muzzle and didn't want to socialise with her :(

    If it weren't for my harness houdini, and slight OCD about my two wearing matching equipment, I think they'd both be in the Perfect Fit harnesses - from the ones I've seen 'in the flesh', they look well made and seem like they'd be one of the most comfortable fits for a harness.

    I use Ruffwear Webmasters because the third strap on the belly makes them pretty much escape-proof, essential for Casper who learnt to wiggle out of other harnesses. I also use leather Dogmatics - which seem comfier than the fabric headcollars I've tried - but that's more because they're both fear-reactive and such big, strong dogs that a harness alone isn't sufficient. For a dog without such issues though, I'd always go for a harness, and think a Perfect Fit would be top of my list.

    I have one of these for my dog as hems a strange shape. Really tiny waist and a really deep chest. Then skinny neck. So most harnesses are don't fit. If the chest part fits, the neck part is too big, and vide versa.

    It fits him perfectly and doesn't rub, which has been an issue with just about every other harness.


    But I must admit I prefer the ezydog harness I have for him. No real reason why.
