As a dog mom, you want your dog to feel comfortable during walks and activities. Now that temperatures are rising and spring is slowly starting, it is extra important to choose a good breathable dog harness. But why is this so important and what should you pay attention to?
What makes a dog harness breathable?
A breathable harness is made of light, ventilating materials such as mesh fabric or perforated neoprene (as at Jaap & Co). These materials allow air to circulate freely and prevent overheating. This is especially essential in warm weather or for active dogs.
The Benefits of a Breathable Dog Harness
Prevents overheating
Dogs lose heat through their paws and tongues, but a poorly ventilated harness can cause them to overheat more quickly. A breathable harness helps to maintain body temperature, especially during longer walks.
Comfortable for sensitive skin
Some dogs have sensitive skin and may experience chafing or irritation. A lightweight, padded harness prevents pressure points and provides optimum freedom of movement.
Suitable for active dogs
For dogs that like to run, play or go for long walks, a breathable harness is a good choice. It provides support without pinching or restricting.
Stays fresh longer
A breathable harness absorbs less moisture and dries faster, reducing unpleasant odors and sweat stains. This is ideal after a rain shower or a swim.
What should you pay attention to when choosing a breathable dog harness?
When purchasing a good harness, there are a few important points to consider:
- Material – Choose breathable fabrics such as mesh or lightweight neoprene
- Fit – The harness should fit snugly without pinching or chafing
- Adjustability – Multiple adjustment points ensure a better fit
- Freedom of movement – The harness should not restrict natural movement
- Durability – Sturdy materials ensure a long lifespan
