Car Harness

Hi Guys,
Looking at these this morning...

Hunter Car Safety Harness

Anyone have any idea which size I should be looking at or whether there is a better one out there for the money.

Thanks
Lucy

Hi we've got a 'HI-CRAFT'. size XL
Best if you take your dog to a shop and try a few on.
Thats what we did, just to be safe...

Thanks guys, I will take him on Sunday.
Will I be able to find an adjustable one do you think or do you think I will need two or three different sizes over the next 6 months.
He is 13 weeks now x

Same here, but we ended up with three. Only because she chewed one in the car where it loops around the seat belt!

Hi guys!
Got a car harness, the xl on the smallest fitting fits him perfectly so we are thinking when it is fully outstretched at it's largest fitting it will be perfect for him. I managed to get one from our local pet store so was only £9 so if we need a bigger one I won't be as upset lol!
We got him a halti today too, it's size 2 and too big right now but I think given two more weeks it will fit him perfectly.
We had a little trauma today as he has scraped his paw on the concrete path in the garden and was bleeding. As far as I can tell it's a clean scrape and it's not bothering him too much. I've bathed it in salt water, hoping he is all healed ready for his first walk next week xx
