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!"
When we got our puppy she was very nervous and scared. She developed a phobia of having anything over her head and became scared of her harness. When we found the perfect fit harness and it went around her neck it was a game changer for us and her

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.

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

The perfect fit, and the fact that it comes completely adjustable, in three parts, meant that I could finally find a harness that fitted them perfectly in every aspect. Without rubbing them raw in some places and without making them uncomfortable. The fleece lined parts are the ONLY harness that doesn’t rub my boy's fur right off!
Love it. Love everything about it!

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.

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.

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.
