I have a lab that loves to chew things. She's chewed through multiple harnesses. Has anyone had trouble with their dog chewing through this?

It's not super strong fabric, it's enough to contain a dog, but I'm not certain it's chew proof. There isn't anything for them to chew on, nothing sticking out. My dogs are small and if they get to scratching or get excited to get out, it worries me that they will might through it. Hope this helps.

No problems so far, but we have small dogs. I knew a lab that ate through a screen door... So this might not prove much of a challenge. It's a great way to tote the pooches around, otherwise.

The sizes vary a bit as well as the thickness. Some choking is not uncommon; thus you should always be there when your dog is given any type of rawhide or chew treat.

It depends on the particular dog. Some chew on anything with no problem, others, like our boston terrier choke on the oddest stuff even things made for dogs like those white chewy sticks made from pig or cow hide. When in doubt and you don't know your dog's habits well enough, i'd suggest not using it and/or consult your veterinarian. There are plenty of other types of chew toys that might be deemed safer for your dog. I used this product for my rabbit and chinchilla.

It may loosen occasionally, I have to tighten mine after every 3rd-4th ride. What worked best for my dog's pulling is a nose harness, she was a different dog after we started using it on walks and did not pull at all. When I ride with her, I put the nose harness on her but attach the bike leash to her body harness not the nose harness. Just having it on keeps her in check. You might want to check that out, got mine at Petsmart for $14.

I imangine it isn't a good thing to chew on but the only danger would be if your pet swallowed a big enough piece to get it lodged other wise it's not digestible so it shall pass. My pets have never chewed on it.

We received the Horgan harness as a Christmas gift for our lab puppy. After 3 months of use, it's clear that those straps that connect the legs to the leash are going to be the failure point of the harness. I am starting to see wear, but it is not yet to a point where it cannot be used. I hope in the next iteration they make these straps of a more durable material since it is the point that experiences the most stress in the system.

My husband frequently walks our Labs using this harness and we have never had a problem with it. I am not trying to sound like a know it all, but do you think your dog may need some obedience training when it comes to walking on lead? Hope I did not offend you.

All the time on my first collar. My lab ended up losing the little bolts somewhere in the yard. Now, I check and tighten the bolts every time I put it on her... just to be on the safe side.

Hi! I bought this pack for a 5-6 yr old boxer. I pack it with two ziplog bags of uncooked beans and she ends up quited tired. The size is adjustable, so it's great to adapt it to any dog. There are two things to take into account:-Dont let your dog "rub" itself against walls or sth.. my dog loves it and the pack is resistant, but not THAT resistant so holes are starting to appear. Don't let your dog chew it either hehe-Try to take your dog at the same time every day. I have to adjust the bag before and after my dog eats. Apart from that I highly recommend it specially if you have pulling-the-leash problems or a trained dog. Hi! I bought this pack for a 5-6 yr old boxer.

Ours are so snug and taught that even if he tried to pull the flaps up he couldn't. If there is any good news to the chewing problem it generally does not last very long. You could manually sew the flaps together to make them so that he could not pull them up.

I guess it depends upon the size and how aggressively he/she chews. My 16lb havanese loves to chew but hasn't ever tried to lift and chew the strong plastic grate. I love this product and think it's well worth a try.

Let me revise my previous answer. If you leave the puppy alone and it likes to chew leashes I would not suggest it. It is well made but can be chewed through.

I have a 2year old mastiff and she got this for Christmas. We have a hole in it. It is empty inside so there is no stuffing. She played tug of war with it along with chewing. All I can suggest is to try it. It did last longer than other toys I have purchased for her. Good luck.

No, I have a 70lb lab and the bungee cord broke at the collar part where it clicks on, but it was a fun ride while it lasted, he pulled me the whole time.. Lol

My puppy has been chewing on one of these for several months. Hasn't been a problem for her. It has helped keep her teeth clean.

Hi Sarah, I have checked our covers and we do have a chewer but she hasn't tried it on the covers. We bought her a nylabone and she keeps busy with that. We also have a Corgi/Bassett mix who like to fluff her bed. So, with her strong nails she made the waterproof backing crack. The material is not ruined Jin any way ust the backing cracked. It stil works pretty well to keep the cushion dry though. She is 12 and has bad days where she leaks in her sleep or when getting up. Hope this helps.

My dog is a powerful chewer but hasn't chewed on the bed. I'm not sure how well it would hold up if she decided to chew it. The legs are made out of pretty solid pvc and the canvas is thick. The company has excellent customer service. I was missing a piece of the bed when I unpacked it (on the weekend). I sent an e-mail to the company and heard back from them the same day and they sent the missing parts out right away. Good luck.
