It took a few tries before I found a harness that I liked, but I’m so glad I found one! It not only fits perfectly, but also looks stylish and is very affordable!

Why use a harness? Collars do a fine job for some dogs. I still wear a collar on days when I’m not going to be doing a lot of walking leashed. However, harnesses have a lot of great benefits! Unlike collars, harnesses disperse the pressure placed on the body rather than concentrated on the neck. This helps to prevent issues like minor choking, straining the neck, or even a collapsed trachea. Harnesses also discourage dogs from pulling as much as collars. Lastly, a properly fitted harness tends to be more secure than a collar – the last thing mom wants to worry about is me slipping my head out of my collar if I’m trying to run off!

Recommendation: The Voyager Step-in Lock Pet Harness in All Weather Mesh

Looks pretty classy and comfy, right? My favorite things about the Voyager Step-in Lock Pet Harness are:
– Comfortable mesh material! I can be fully mobile without rubbing or chafing
– Adjustable at the neck and the chest, and doesn’t shift around when I walk
– Clip around neck sits on top of padded material, so the plastic doesn’t pull on my fur
– Easy to step into without pulling over my head
– Two D-rings on the back so my leash can attach higher or lower down my back
– Only $13.99 (as of 10/27/2020)!

Fitting: Make sure you measure properly when you order your appropriate size! I am wearing an XS and I have it adjusted about the max widths. I originally purchased the size Small, since my neck is about 11 inches and chest is 16 inches, but I wasn’t able to get it to fit snug enough.

So there you have it, guys and gals! The Voyager Step-in Lock Pet Harness is Butters Approved and is my pick for the Best Affordable Harness for Small Dogs, like me!

If you’re looking for alternative options, here are my runner ups:
– Puppia RiteFit Harness: Similar quality and fit, but 30% more expensive
– Voyager Step-in Air Dog Harness/Vest: Features reflective bands, but only one location for leash attachment and less fit adjustability
