A perfectly fitting harness for your dog sounds like music to your ears, but how are you going to arrange that? And then there is also the question of how do you ensure that your dog likes the harness? In this blog you can read all the answers to your questions. We make these leather harnesses completely by hand in my studio in Dordrecht. This is the reason why we can ensure that you can have a perfectly fitting harness made for your dog.
A leather harness for your dog
If you choose a harness, a leather version is the best if you want it to completely wrap around the dog's body. Leather will completely form to the body. At least the leather we use at Meola Leather Dogs. We use supple leather, but of course leather that is strong enough to withstand the pulling force of your dog. For smaller dogs we also use different leather than for large dogs.
Another important point, actually the most important, is that the harness really fits your dog perfectly. If this is not the case, you do not have the advantages that a harness has. And I will help you completely to ensure that the harness fits perfectly. In other words, we will ensure that the harness fits perfectly and will become the new favorite of your dog and also of you, because you are going to steal the show with this.
Measuring your dog
It is also good to mention that the way I will explain below how to measure your dog only applies to the harnesses that we make and not to other brands. The advantage of the harnesses that we sell is that you can adjust them in 3 places and the back is extra long. These are things that do not occur very often. In this way, your dog will have a lot of space at the shoulders, which means that no irritation spots can arise and there is the most freedom of movement.
The neck; The neck is measured above the breast lump that you feel on the chest. This is a lot wider than you measure a normal collar. This band is adjustable and should not come to a centimeter with measuring, because you can make it larger or smaller than you measured it.
The belly; The belly is measured by putting a hand behind the front legs and from that point you measure the entire belly around. This band is adjustable and should not come to a centimeter with measuring, because you can make it larger or smaller than you measured it.
The back; This is measured at the 2 points where the neck and the belly are located and which are connected by the back. Keep in mind that you put a hand behind the front legs and then go straight up. This is so that the harness does not become too short. The back is the only part that is not adjustable.
The front legs; The front legs are measured from the point where the neck stops, between the front legs and end where the belly band stops. This band is also adjustable, so it can always be made larger or smaller than you specify as a size.
