Doggie Design American River Ultra Choke-Free Mesh Step-In Dog Harness - Candy Pink, Size S

Ensure your barn companion stays safe and comfortable from the stable to the show ring with a harness designed to protect delicate tracheas during active days. The American River Ultra Choke-Free Harness offers the ultimate peace of mind for equestrian travelers, combining high-visibility safety with a secure, break-strength tested design.

Engineered for the rigors of the equestrian lifestyle, this harness is crafted from soft, breathable mesh polyester that prevents overheating during long days at the event. Its patented design shifts all pulling pressure away from the neck and onto the chest, while the reinforced zigzag trim binding ensures the construction stands up to the demands of life around the horses and trailers.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Patented Choke-Free Design: Protects your dog’s sensitive trachea by pulling exclusively from the chest, a critical safety feature for small breeds prone to respiratory issues in active environments.
• Certified Strength & Security: Built for peace of mind with a break-strength test rating of 386 lbs and a double-safety closure featuring both a touch fastener and a high-strength plastic side-release buckle.
• Precision Barn Fit (Size S): Specifically tailored for dogs with a 13” to 16” chest girth (typically 6–11 lbs), including 3 inches of adjustable webbing to accommodate varying body shapes or seasonal coats.
• High-Visibility Safety: The vibrant Candy Pink color and integrated reflective strips ensure your dog remains visible to riders, drivers, and heavy machinery in low-light stable conditions.
• Effortless Step-In Design: The "Step-In and Go" construction eliminates the struggle of over-the-head harnesses, making it ideal for quick transitions between the truck, the trailer, and the trail.
• Breathable Performance Mesh: Lightweight polyester mesh keeps your pet cool in any climate and is fully machine washable, allowing for easy cleanup after a muddy day at the barn.
• Dual-Purpose Travel Utility: The chest-pull distribution makes this an excellent choice for use as a seatbelt harness, safely distributing force during vehicle stops on the way to your next show.
