Harnesses can help pet parents keep their Pomskies safe (and stylish!). Here are our picks for the best harnesses for your Pomsky.
The no-pull design of this harness is recommended by veterinarians, trainers, and dog behaviorists around the world, making it a great option to help train your Pomsky to walk on a leash properly. It is made from strong nylon webbing to stand up to ongoing wear and tear (and light chewing, should your dog have a mischievous streak). On the inside of the webbing, a Swiss Velvet lining ensures that your dog is comfortable while wearing the harness, even for longer periods of time.
The harness includes four separate adjustment points making it easier to custom fit the harness to your dog’s body properly preventing rubbing or interruptions of proper movement. On the back, a leash can be attached to a martingale loop while another connection point on the front is referred to as the ‘power steering’, allowing you to redirect your dog when walking. Use the included double connection leash, hooking on to both points, to enjoy all that this harness has to offer.

Putting on a harness might seem complicated if you’ve never done it but in actuality it is quite simple. The overhead harness is put on by sliding your pet’s head through the smallest hole and then sliding in the legs, one by one, through leg openings on the side. After that, just adjust the straps for a snug fit and check if everything is clasped well and you’re good to go! In case you have a step-in dog harness, she process is even easier: place the open harness on the floor in front of your dog, put their front legs through the two openings and slide the harness up their legs and buckle it on the back.
The best way to measure a dog for a harness is to use a measuring tape. You need to get the dimension of their chest and neck and compare with the measurements given by the manufacturer to ensure a perfect fit. Measure the chest girth (the circumference of the widest part of your dog’s chest) and the circumference of their neck, above their shoulders and just below where a dog collar would normally sit on the neck.
