About the PerfectFit Harness
The PerfectFit Harness is the ultimate walking harness. It is recommended by vets and trainers all over the world, and was voted #1 Harness by the Whole Dog Journal in multiple years! Made in England, the Perfect Fit is a modular system of interchangeable pieces which means it is possible to fit all shapes, ages, and sizes of dogs. You can create a fleece-lined harness that is perfectly fitted to your dog so it's snug, safe, and comfortable.
With your dog’s health, comfort, and safety in mind, the PerfectFit Harness has been designed with a Y-shaped front so that pulling force is evenly distributed through the chest rather than the soft tissues of the neck and throat. With no straps cutting across the front legs, your dog will have full freedom of movement to enjoy the walk.
There is a D-ring on the front piece so that you can use IMPORTANT! a double-connection leash, and have two points of connection, to improve "steering" and distribute any pulling force more evenly. Please note that the harness is NOT designed for the front D-ring to be used on its own; ONLY use the front ring only with a double-connection leash.
Features:
- Clips around dog's neck; you do NOT need to put it over dog's head
- Adjustable in 5 different places
- Pieces can be replaced as a young dog grows
- Front piece comes with a front D-ring to use with a double-connection leash
- Safe for amputee dogs
- Difficult for canine escape artists to get out of
- Calming for excitable dogs
- Made in the UK from comfortable, soft, high-quality fleece
- Machine washable at 86ºF (30ºC); line dry
A Perfect Fit Harness is constructed from 3 individual pieces—top, front, and girth—which clip together to make a complete harness.
Step 1: Select Your Girth Strap
There are three widths of webbing in the Perfect Fit system with appropriately sized buckles and clips. Within each size of webbing, there are different sizes of girth pieces. Look up your dog's girth measurement in the webbing width range that is appropriate for your dog based on his size and whether he is a strong puller. There may be more than one choice of girth strap for your dog, so also consult the Perfect Fit Harness Selection Guide for girth size recommendations for different breeds and types of dogs. If the breed chart recommends one size up from your dog's girth measurement, we recommend going with the larger girth strap to ensure there is enough fleece padding on the strap to protect your dog's skin.

The Next Step
Once you have selected your girth strap, you need to select a front piece.
Using a flexible measuring tape, measure snugly about 2" behind your dog’s front legs all the way around him. You are measuring the circumference of his body, the girth, like measuring a person for a belt. Be sure that your dog is standing squarely.
There are three widths of webbing in the Perfect Fit system with appropriately sized buckles and clips. Within each size of webbing, there are different sizes of girth pieces. Look up your dog's girth measurement in the webbing width range that is appropriate for your dog based on his size and whether he is a strong puller.

To make an exchange or accept a return, we require that the harness piece be in the same pristine condition as when it arrived with you.
We understand that when you try the harness on your dog and adjust it, the harness pieces may get a little hairy. But if the harness has been worn for more than just a proper fitting, or is in a different condition then when you received it, we will NOT be able to make a free exchange or give a full credit for a return.
- Returned harness pieces that require more cleaning than using a lint brush to remove a little bit of hair are subject to a 30% restocking fee.
- Returned harness pieces that are damaged or worn are subject to a 50% restocking fee.
Before you return a harness piece, we recommend watching the Measuring & Sizing video to ensure that you have adjusted the harness correctly.
If you live in the USA and are making an exchange, you will pay for the return shipping to our offices and Clean Run will pay the shipping cost to send the new size back to you.
