Authentic Puppia Vivien Harness, Pink, Small

This is the second version of this harness I've bought. We had the pink one first but it became very hard to clean. The darker purple is much easier to clean. All the neighbors think my Doxie looks adorable.

We are adding a female french bulldog puppy to our family and wanted to have a harness ready for her when I fly out to pick her up at the end of August when she turns 8 weeks old. I didn't have measurements when I ordered an extra small (stupid decision), and when I received it I realized there is no way an extra small would fit over her rapidly growing noggin. This harness has to fit over their heads, so really the neck size is almost irrelevant, and the material is NOT STRETCHY....AT ALL.I returned the extra small and ordered a small after inquiring with another french bulldog puppy owner who advised her 11 week old frenchie's medium puppia harness was still a bit too large for her puppy.While awaiting the small vivien harness to be delivered (and as part of my nesting phase) I went ahead and ordered the medium size as well for her to grow into b/c this style is just so darn cute and amazon has great prices.So I end up receiving the small and the medium on the same day. You would think I'd be covered with these two sizes, but the medium is sure to be way too large for my frenchie at first, and the small is still too small to fit over her noggin. The breeder sent me measurements (per my request) after I had placed these orders a week ago and her skull was already 12 inches (the small vivien harness only has a 10 5/8 inch head opening) and based on photos I've seen she has grown like a weed since then has probably already has a 13 inch head (which is exactly the size of the head opening on the medium vivien harness). You would think the medium will be perfect seeing as her head might barely squeeze through the 13" opening, but the rest of the harness is sooooo much bigger than the small and too big for a puppy body.I don't have the x-small still to compare it to the small, but from my memory of the x-small they almost look the same size; but there is a HUGE difference between the small and medium. I was going to return the small, but I decided I will just get out my scissors and sewing machine and make some modifications (like add some elastic to the head opening) so her head will fit through and she'll have a nice fitting harness until her little frenchie body fills out the medium. I'm not sure what the large looks like, but I'm sure we'll be in a large before too long due to the nonadjustable/non-stretchy head opening; or we may need to try a different style puppia harness, as I'm not sure if my issue is unique to the vivien and I don't want to have to keep making modifications that will detract from the cuteness of this harness. I hope this helps someone trying to make a decision on sizes. I read many reviews before my purchases, but everyone seems to make reference to the breed or weight of their dogs, rather than the size of their head/necks, so most reviews were unhelpful to me. I will add a photo of the small and medium harness side by side so everyone can see the difference in sizes.

I read up on harnesses and read in the which magazine and this brand was listed it’s a great harness fir my doxipoo doesn’t slip off like some and a good fit great service also

I absolutely love this harness for my dog. She receives so many compliments on it when walking her. This is my second time purchasing because her first one over a very long time became tatty and started falling apart after YEARS of wear and washing. Washes in the washer easily and is really good quality. Lasts for years. One star removed as I wish it was a bit more affordable

Lovely soft but strong harness that doesn't dig into my little dog. Love the design of it and she looks really cute wearing it. Not washed it yet but when it's got wet and dirty after a walk it dries very quickly and most of the dirt comes out. Very easy to put on and off, Muffin puts her head through it as soon as I get it out, my only complaint is the clip is quite stiff to undo.the size of it fits perfectly for her, as a small schitzau . Would recommend these designs to everyone.

I have a female Morkie/cross Maltese and Yorkshire terrier,Everyone stops and comments on how cute and secure the harness is,It is washable and adjustable so she stays comfy and looks good!

I bought this for my English Cocker spaniel, Maggie. I wanted something that was a little smarter than the usual harness whilst still being comfortable. Maggie gets lot of compliments on her new harness. Even after wearing into the river and rolling in mud it cleans up well. I will definitely be buying more from this range.
