Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the chest size range for the XS-S harness?
The Julius-K9 14811 harness in size XS-S is designed for dogs with a chest circumference between 33 cm and 45 cm.
Is this harness suitable for cats?
While the product listing mentions 'Dog & Cat Harnesses', this specific model (14811) is typically sized and designed with dogs in mind. For cats, it is crucial to ensure a proper fit, as their anatomy differs significantly from dogs.
How do I clean the harness?
The harness should be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Are the reflective parts always visible?
The reflective elements are designed to reflect light sources shone upon them. They increase visibility in low-light conditions (dusk, night, fog) when illuminated by headlights or other external light.
Can I attach a car seat belt tether to this harness?
This harness has a primary steel loop for lead attachment. While some car seat belt tethers can attach to a harness, it's essential to use a tether specifically designed for harnesses and ensure it attaches securely to the back loop without interfering with the dog's comfort or the harness's fit.
Where is the handle located on this harness?
On sizes XS/Mini-Mini and above, the harness features a robust handle fixed with hook and loop fastening on the top. This allows for better control when needed.
What material is the harness made of?
The harness is made of high-quality, extra robust, breathable, and anti-allergic nylon with a skin-friendly inner lining.
Troubleshooting
Harness appears too small or too large.
Double-check your dog's chest measurement against the harness's size range (33-45 cm for XS-S). Adjust the chest and belly straps to their maximum or minimum settings. If still not fitting correctly, consider if a different size is needed.
Dog seems uncomfortable or is chafing.
Ensure the harness is not too tight. The straps should be snug but not constricting; you should be able to fit two fingers underneath. Check for any wrinkles or folds in the lining that might be causing irritation. Ensure the chest strap is positioned correctly and not rubbing.
Reflective elements are not very visible.
Ensure the reflective parts are clean and free from dirt or debris. Visibility is also dependent on the external light source; they are designed to reflect light shone directly on them.
Quick fastening clip is difficult to open or close.
Ensure the clip is clean and free from dirt or debris. Check that the straps are not pulled too taut, which can sometimes make clips harder to operate. If the issue persists, the clip mechanism may be damaged.
