Original Designs Step In Dog Harness
How do I choose a width?
What size harness should my dog wear?
XS & Small Dogs - Girth lengths 9"-20" by 1/2" wide - Best for dogs under 20 lbs.
Medium Dogs - Girth lengths 12"-30" by 3/4" wide
Large & XL Dogs - Girth lengths 19"-38" by 1" wide
The most accurate way to choose the correct size range is to measure your dog - but don't worry, it's easy!
A fabric dressmaker's tape measure is easiest and most accurate. Or, a piece of string can also be used and then measured.
Measure the dog's girth (around the ribcage at the
widest point) comfortably snug against the fur while the dog is standing.
Take the actual measurement and add 5% to determine the best size range.
Example: Actual measurement is 20" + 5% = 21"

Note: Leash attaches to both D-rings. While harnesses are a very effective walking and training tool, they should never be left on an unattended pet and are not intended for full-time use.
If your dog is excitable or is a puller, we recommend the Roman style harness for maximum security. While step-in style harnesses are very popular for their ease of use, they can also be easy for some dogs to escape from.
Custom items, including embroidery, are not eligible for replacement under our Even-if-Chewed® Guarantee.

I bought this harness and matching leash for my 8 lb. dog about 7 years ago. She started to chew the leash and it was replaced not long ago. She recently started to chew the harness. Both items were replaced for the cost of shipping.
These harnesses are great! I have the Roman one and the step in one. Both are great no problems with them.
I like the harness and the leash, but my Chihuahua can slip out of it if I pull the leash and she doesn’t move with it. I feel that it’s tight enough so I’m not sure what to do?
Hi Vicki, We’re sorry to hear that the step-in style harness is not the right fit for your pup. While step-in style harness work well for some dogs, they can be easy for others to slip out of. We would recommend the traditional roman style, that offers more adjustments points and a more secure fit. Please reach out to Customer Service, we are here to help!
Sizing is a concern. Small is too small for my 5 pound toy poodle!
Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the 12-18' harness size didn’t fit your poodle. Please reach out to our customer service so we can assist you with a better fit or exchange options. If you are able, please measure your pup before the call and we can make a detailed recommendation based on your dog's exact measurement and weight. Thank you!
While the quality is great, the width of the strapping for size small is too small for our dogs. For a Chihuahua, it might be perfect, but for rambunctious Jack Russells, the narrow strapping would create pressure points rather than dispersing their exuberance with wider strapping. Sadly, I will be returning the harness.
Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We're glad you found the quality good, but sorry to hear the harness wasn't the right fit for your Jack Russell. We appreciate your insights and hope you find a suitable option for your energetic pup, we would recommend the ¾” wide for your pup. Feel free to reach out if you need any help!
Lovely colors and solid construction with a lifetime guarantee. They stand behind their products.
I have purchased Lupine harnesses for my dogs for many years. They hold up through washings coming out looking new. They guarantee their products for life.
EASY to use
Comfort for dog
Highly adjustable
Reasonably priced
Lovely match to the new leash.
Our new harness for our Pug is the best one we have found. Such a variety of colors. Safety for her with her name and our phone # embroidered on it. She is a runner, we need her identity visible.
finally found a harness that fit my 12 lb Tsu Shu baby.
Excellent quality! Great colors! This is the onlybrand I would buy for my dogs now🐾🐾
Good
My cocker spaniel hates harnesses that go over his head. When I found this harness he became such a happy boy at walk time. We both love it! I have used lupine for over 20 years. I never used any other brand!
About 10 years ago I bought this harness and collar. It was washed in the washing machine occasionally, she swam in a pond with it, ran like the wind, and it still looks great! My dog has now passed away but I'm sure we could have used it another 10 years.
I would defiantly purchase this again in the future.
I have purchased many leashes and collars for all the dogs I have had in the past 30 years or so. They are excellent quality, attractive, come in lots of fun colors and designs. I have always been very satisfied!
I just love Lupine Pet products. We’ve been using them for several years, and have had a collar and a harness replaced because of chewing. These products are worth the money, the quality is superb. Customer service has been very helpful and kind during a recent exchange. Highly recommend!!! The matching pet tags from Dog Tag Art hold up better than any tag I’ve ever purchased too!! I love that their collections have matching products!
I bought a collar 3 years ago and have been so happy with it that I wanted to get a matching harness. I didn't measure well and ended up with a size that was too small. Excellent customer service via outreach to me to help ensure that I got the right size upon reorder. Looks and fits great!
