Good quality and comfy.May 08, 2010
By sSlocum We switched to these soft harnesses because one of our little dogs was uncomfortable in the harder, nylon-strap harnesses, and was regularly chewing himself out of them. These soft harnesses work well, and are really comfortable, so we sent for two more in different colors.
We've had only one problem with them, that we solved with needle and thread: the sliding adjustment around the chest doesn't grip well enough on its own, so we needed to sew it in place after adjusting it to fit each dog.
An important note on size: all of these sizes are for small and toy dogs, so the large size is still small. To see the sizing information on this product page, first select a size and then look at the dimensions in the "product features" section. I've also attached some photos including the sizing chart that came with our harnesses. For our 15-pound Jack Russell Terriers, the size comes out to be "large." Our pups are so proud to be "large."

No size guidelinesApr 03, 2011
By Bill The material online is of little use in knowing what size to order for your pet. I have a 15lb. Westie and a 25lb Scottie, so I ordered small. Wrong! The small is sized to fit a minature dog and totally unusable. Most pet suppliers provide some type guideline for ordering i.e. small 10-15lbs, mediuam 15-30lbs, etc.
Now I've got the wrong size I've got to return and re-order. Not very customer service focused.

My Puggle LOVES It!Jul 05, 2010
By Willie Because my 30 lb puggle (beagle/pug hybrid) loves this purple XL harness, so do I. It's the first harness she hasn't tried to chew off. She finds it so comfortable, I can keep on her all day. It was difficult finding a comfort harness for my dog with a 15" neck and a 24" chest. This would be a great soft harness for a PUG too. Be sure to measure neck and chest before you purchase. The price is 5-10 dollars cheaper than the DOGGLES,PUPPIA and PETCO. It's also a more humane way to leash you dog than choker chains. I only wish I had more colors to choose from than just purple, black and pink. Overall, a great product at a reasonable price.

NOT THE ONES FROM THE AD - BUT OUR MIN. PINCHER STILL THINK IT'S FASHION ITEM.Mar 20, 2011
By Aquarius
"blackblue"
16 APRIL 2011: I've added an update today. If your dog likes to chew on anything he/she can get to, it might be valuable inforamtion. The update is at the end,... scroll down to read it.
****************
19 MARCH 2011:
Got one of these for our miniature pincher. She was very happy with it. Or at least it seemed that way. I could swear she taught/knew she was getting a new fashion item. She was sitting there, watching me unpacking, ... the moment I took the harness out of the package, she got al exited, started jumping around, standing and jumping on her back feet.... I had a hard time putting it on her, with her jumping all over the place. I wished I had my camera rolling.
We're happy with this harness. She had a standard harness before, but we had to take it off because after wearing it for a while, it started to irritate her skin just under her chest and front legs. I saw an ad for these comfort harness and decided to try one.
These are indeed better. The design is such that it's not sharp under the dog's body, especially under the `armpits'. It's round, soft and flexible. The mesh design forms well around her front body and looks really good.
I was able to google a picture of the label to see the sizes and measurements. Measured the chest and neck and compared it to the chart. Based on the measurements and the chart I decided to get the medium size. The fit is ok, ... it seems a just a tiny-bit large around the front of her body, but not so large that it's too large for her. You can adjust the fit around the body to an extent. It seems you have quite some space to adjust. So medium would fit I suspect quite a range of different size dogs. The neck and front, where the most of the mesh is, is a fixed size. So that part you can't adjust. But it was probably kept to such a size that it can fit different medium size dogs. I suspect that's why it seems just a tiny bit large for our miniature pincher. I'm thinking perhaps the small size would have fitted her even better. Especially since you can adjust it round the body.
Here's a tip. Make sure you adjust the harness well around her body. Don't make it too tight, but don't leave it to loose either. Here's why. Initially I let it just a little loose around her body. But our little pincher likes to chew on anything that's plastic. And she'll chew it up till there's nothing left. After three days she had it on, I noticed she had start chewing on the buckle where you close the harness. I realize she was able to do this because I left it a bit loose. Thankfully I noticed it on time. I adjust it, made it tighter, not too tight, but just so it fits well around her. That way she could not get to it. I was concerned perhaps it was bothering her, but after observing her for a few days I could reassure my self she was ok, and it was not bothering her at all.
The only regret I have is that I ordered the black color. I was a bit weary of getting red, purple or blue. But now I think one of the colors would probably looked even better on her. I'm thinking red. The black is nice, but looks so,..... well,... colorless. I'm thinking I might get a red one, but then size small.
Here's short version of what I've seen on one of the measurement charts. I've only put the size and typical breed that it would fit. I left out the weight, and neck and chest size. There's actually also the size in inches around neck and body. I may add them here later, if I got time to do so. Any way here's the short version for now.
Size-XS: Puppy Yorkie, puppy Maltese, Chihuahua
Size-S : Yorkie, Maltese, Toy Poodel, Pomeranina
Size-M : Japanese Chin, Miniature Pincher, French Bulldog, Boston Terrier
Size-L : Shih Tzu, Pekingese, Mini Schnauzer
Size-XL: Beagle, Cocker Spaniel, Pug, Fox Terrier
I'd advise you measure neck and body of your dog, and google the measurement chart, see what fits your dog best. If I get time, I'll add the size in inches here later. But for now you can probably best google it.

UPDATE - 16 APRIL 2011:
Today I find my self adding an update to this review. Our min.pincher just chewed through the buckle last night! I think the size of the harness was just a tiny-bit loose for her. She was able to turn and get to the buckle. Perhaps I should have gotten the small size after all. But I'm only bringing the number of stars from 5 to 4. I still think this is a good harness. The buckle got chewed, because that's the character of the min.pincher. Just read that today online. They like to chew, and will chew on anything they can get their teeth on. Of course if the buckle was on top of his back, then I don't think any min.pincher can get to it (that's why I'm bringing it down to 4 stars). But then again, I'm not sure,... since I've just read that the min.pincher is also called "the Houdini of dogs" because of it's ability to escape,... and that does seem to match our. min.pincher.
In any case, if your getting this harness,... you need to be aware if your dog likes to chew on anything he can get to, and take that into consideration.
By the way, I also just found out that these are actually not the ones from the ad I saw on TV. Those were the Comfy Harness Control ones. I can't find them here on A. But I think, for the next one I'm going to get (since this one is all chewed up now) I will look for the actual Comfy Control Harness and try one of those. I think those actually has the buckle on top of the back, ... I'm hoping our min. pincher can get to it in that position. I might update this post once I have that one.
Thanks for reading.

FIT MY LITTLE KATIE JUST FINE!Aug 21, 2010
By C. Barnes
"Realtor"
Nice and soft and so much more comfortable for my Katie. She loves using her new harness instead of the leash being attached to her collar. These harnesses are very nice....Katie weighs 13lbs and I ordered a medium. The size chart was very helpful and I took her measurements and even though they were a little different in some areas the medium worked just fine.
