Anyone have one of these for their ratty?  Thinking about getting one in Camo for Yogi because though he doesn't seem to complain, I feel like his harness might be uncomfortable under his armpits and maybe this would be a better option.  They're meant for small dogs though and he looks like he might be on the upper end size-wise, an XL.

They LOOK more comfy but would like to hear from someone who has used one.

I just ordered one for Skipper. I ordered a medium in brown...he's a little over 11 pounds and on the stocky side. Paul reminded me about these harnesses (Skipper needs something that doesn't put any pressure on his neck), Lucy has one and I'm sure there are some others on here that have them.

I have one and I love it. Bella walks much better with it on. There are several members that use them! A while back, we all posted our pictures of our ratties with Puppia's on. Maybe we'll have to post them again so you can see them, haha

Morgan, it does apply pressure to her chest instead of her throat, right?

Thank you I'm going to order it now! Found one in the right size/color on ebay... But now I want the matching camo leash and bed!

Would LOVE to see your ratties in puppia!

I took a couple of pics of Lucy in her 2 Puppia harnesses at noon, but ran out of time and had to run back to work  before I got them resized and posted----dang JOB!  

MB---I told you I thought the sizes were s and xs---I WAS WRONG! (mark this down, I dont say that very often    )  The size of both are L, but the camo one fits snugger than the pink flowered one.  I'll put the pics on when I get home from work.  They are great inventions---pressure is applied to the chest and the "pulling" is all confined to the shoulder blade area---nothing on the throat.

MB, you're right! It doesn't put pressure on her neck at all. Which is really weird because a collar DOES and Bella pulls more with a collar on than she does with her Puppia harness on. She doesn't pull at all when she's wearing the harness. I think she likes wearing it too, because she just stands there and lifts up her leg when I am putting it on her, haha. It's super easy and quick to put on too.

Bella weighs 15lbs and she wears a Medium Puppia.

It's almost adjusted as big as it could get though. I could probably make it another 1/2 inch bigger, but I don't plan on Bella getting any bigger.

I had gotten Bama one, but he didn't seem to like it. He would put his chest on the floor and rub. Maybe it was the wrong size, but it seemed to fit correctly. That's what I hate about ordering online! I know I could've sent it back and gotten another size, but that's such a hassle! I ended up getting him one at Wal-Mart. It has fleece padding that goes under his arms. It's called Yuppie Puppy. You can see it at sporn.com under Sporn Training Halter.
