Is there any chance of the leg slipping through the front straps? Can this be worn 24 hours a day?

When it is fitted correctly then it is not likely the dog leg will slip through. My dog has never gotten out of this harness once I bought the correct size. He has gotten out of other brands though. I wouldn't leave it on unsupervised though, I tried that too and he destroyed it. I have to buy a new one but this is still better than others. I been though 6 harnesses in two years, mainly because I buy it too big or I leave it within his reach.

If you adjust the harness correctly to fit your dog there should be no problem with a leg slipping through. It's a comfortable harness but no dog should have to wear a harness 24 hours a day. Seems like it would damage their fur.

Well I have had my dog slip out of it once. But only one time. To be worn 24/7 ? Could but the piece that the Leash hooks to is a little long.

My dog was a champion puller. I only put it on when we go walking. It fixes the pulling so I'm not sure what wearing it all day would help with, but I don't see any reason why it would be an issue. The straps have a lamb skin pad that cushions the 'armpit' area to keep the straps from irritating his skin. You would have to be canine Houdini in order to skip out of this thing.

Yes, but not while the harness is in use. If the dog is wearing the harness while at rest or play the straps could easily loosen allowing the harness to slip off. I do not recommend keeping the harness on 24 hrs a day.

I don't think there could be any chance of the leg slipping through the front straps since the harness tightens from a strap on the back of the dog. You can make it snug enough so that it doesn't move. I don't think this could be worn 24 hours; when you unhook the leash the strap on the back of the dog hangs and my dog will start to play with it by chewing on it, i think too much of that will destroy the strap.

The harness is adjustable and fits snug. I would not recommend 24 hours a day for any harness. It can cause irritation and hair loss. Also because this harness is adjustable there is line that hangs off in the back that attaches to the leash and it is pretty long. I can use it to hold my dog with out putting his leash on him.

Can't speak to off leash or swimming question. #2s don't seem to be an issue. My guy won't lift his leg while wearing it but squads just fine for 1 & 2.

I've only been wearing mine for three days and haven't noticed anything. I put on and take off two to three times a day also. Wear it average 14-16 hrs a day. Hope this helped

I would say that's a sizing issue. The Velcro strap should go all the way or almost all the way around the leg.

I don't think so. It's supposed to be able to stay on for up to five days, but the edges start to roll after a while. It depends on where you use it. I've left it across the top of my foot for a couple of days, but on my leg it starts to roll. I've also tried to reposition it, and that is occasionally successful.

Probably; it is very easy to put on and take off and I've worn it all day for several days in a row with comfort. What I like about it is, during hot weather it only covers a relatively small area of your knee/leg so you are not uncomfortably hot and itchy and the back of the band has a nice cushion.

I have had no problems w/straps slipping. The only time I have slipping, is when I use my rashgard shirt underneath my suit. SRC

I really don't know Grigsby's answer is spot on. I am a mechanic and have worn mine daily for nearly two years with no trouble from straps yet. I will never buy another knee pad. They are the best!

I don't use one because the fleece on the bottom is very nice but you could. I haven't had problems with slippage. It's more of an english fit obviously. It's a nice lightweight alternative.

I find that there is a slight bulge where the strap fastens over the front of the leg. Depending on the tightness of the pant leg It is not visible while standing, but might be while setting or crossing your leg.

Yes its fit very secure. I use it for walking and exercise . It stays on . No slipping . It's great!

No. lt will slide down with the impact of your feet, eventually. For walking it's great!

If you have the straps properly adjusted you should be fine. there is velcro near the shoulders that allow for straps to be put through (There's a picture of my twins that shows this)

Yes, the straps are wide as well so you wouldn't have to worry about them being weak and coming undone.

I actually ride my bike with this bag slung across my shoulder/back. It, for me, is all about how tight you make the straps. Also... strap goes on opposite shoulder from bag... but I suspect you already know that. Same shoulder? With just about any bag on same side as strap... there is good chance you'll have slippage...

I know it is a little harder to do but you need to load the strap through the bottom of the buckle. While depressing the thumb tab you have to thread the strap from the middle on the bottom to the outside. That will take care of any slipping problems. I have a 400+ lb. friend that works out with me and never has a problem at all with them.

As per our Technical Department, you can slip this under a bra strap. But the other answers are correct, there is no velcro or straps to hold this item in place
