The area around a dog’s throat is one of the most vulnerable yet is often an overlooked part of a dog’s anatomy. Pressure from a collar and lead can restrict blood flow and neural pathways and cause or exacerbate many physical conditions including:
Eye problems caused by Intraocular eye pressure
Collapsed Trachea
Syringomyelia
Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome
Sensitive throats (e.g. after Kennel cough)
Thyroid disorder
A collar or lead can also inhibit recovery following surgery.
Pain or discomfort in any form increases arousal levels and can have a direct impact on your dog’s emotional state and therefore, their behaviour.

"It took me years to find the PerfectFit Harness and I am so happy I did! The harness definitely stands up to its name as it is beautifully made and fits dogs of any size and shape perfectly. Based on my 30 years in veterinary practice, I believe that using a harness instead of a collar will keep your dog healthy and injury-free. Good health and longevity starts with the Perfect Fit!"
Dr. Peter Dobias, DVM
"As a handler with Surrey Search and Rescue, finding the right equipment for Olive, my search and rescue dog, has always been a challenge. We’ve struggled for years to find a harness that fits properly. Most either pinch too tightly around the girth just to get the right length or hang too loosely if we size up. That changed when we discovered the PerfectFit Harness. PerfectFit have also gone above and beyond in supporting our team, generously helping to kit out all of our dogs. Their commitment to the working dog community is something we’re incredibly grateful for."
Jon Cole – Search Technician for Surrey Search & Rescue
Perfect Fit has changed my dog's and my clients' dogs lives!
I've been using them for over 2 years and I couldn't be more happy! They give great comfort to the dogs, so much that many walk so much calmer from the very first moment they wear one. And I've got owners that could not walk their dogs, now enjoying long walks. And all that, safely for both dog and owner, no risk of injuring the dog, no risk of escaping the harness.

The harness has been through rough times, sea water, mud, sand, river water, tugging dogs, washing machines, and everything the girl's throw at them and they are still in great shape

Since switching to Perfect Fit 5 years ago he's had no more skin problems, and he immediately started walking better. We've since switched our other dogs to Perfect fit, they are durable and comfortable for the dogs, well worth the money.
Perfect fit by name, Perfect in every other way ...
The best thing about perfect fit harnesses, they don't rub, no red mark's anywhere!! The design also gives me great comfort that Roo's joints aren't restricted in anyway, it allows her perfect shoulder movement & the feeling of freedom, they wash well, dry fast ... & great Value for money, fast delivery & great customer support.

You really do get what you pay for! This is hands down the best harness we’ve ever had and we’ve tried most of them out there. The added bonus that it is fully machine washable which is perfect for water loving mud monsters like Willow.
Lydia Welch
Perfect Fit was recommended by our breeder and we've passed on that recommendation many, many times. The harness really is a 'perfect fit' that doesn't restrict movement in any way, it hasn't caused any matting of our girl's super curly coat and it's very cost effective to be able to replace individual parts. When I've called for sizing advice customer service was amazing. We wouldn't change to anything else.

Dash has been wearing perfect fit for 2 years now, she is a very nervous dog when walking in the streets and she is noticeably more confident since wearing the Perfect Fit.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a harness fitted in person?
Yes. Please see our stockist map to find your local PerfectFit supplier.
Can my dog over heat in the Harness?
In our experience to date, we have had no reports of dogs over-heating whilst wearing our harness due to minimal body coverage.
Can I use my harness in the car?
Our Harness has not been crash tested so we do not recommend using it in the car.
Is it worth getting my puppy fitted?
We recommend fitting puppies in our harness to avoid the vulnerable neck area and allow full front leg and shoulder movement for your puppies developing anatomy. Health, comfort and safety is paramount as your puppy explores the world for the first time. See our Puppy Harness page for more info.
Will the harness stop my dog from pulling?
Our harnesses are specifically designed to distribute the weight of the dog evenly over the harness – helping to reduce pulling, rubbing and friction. The feeling of security when wearing a soft, comfortable, well-fitted harness can encourage the dog to walk more calmly and in balance. This is often sufficient to encourage the dog not to pull as there are no more choking sensations around the throat or sharp edges rubbing against its skin. In addition, the front piece of the harness comes with an extra D-ring for more steering control, a helpful tool to use alongside positive reinforcement training.
Do you ship worldwide?
We do not ship to the EU, China, or the UAE. Please see our stockist map to find your local PerfectFit supplier.
Are your products machine washable?
Yes, the PerfectFit Harness & matching leads can be washed at low temperatures. We do not recommend tumble drying any of our products.
How can I order?
You can order through our website using our sizing calculator, or reach out to our team of sizing experts for personalized advice via email, phone, or the chat function on our website.
What happens if I order the wrong size?
If your harness isn’t a Perfect Fit then we will send you alternative pieces to try for free. Once you are happy with a good fit you can then post back the pieces that you no longer need. We are happy to exchange or refund any products providing they are still in a saleable condition.
Why can’t I use the front D ring on its own?
Using a front D-ring on its own can be unbalancing for your dog. Always use a double ended lead attached to the front and back D rings of the PerfectFit Harness. Use the front attachment to help steer your dog away from unwanted stimulus. Our front D-rings are not designed to be used on their own.
