Puppia harnesses-great choice for adventure cats!
340302
We are currently training our indoor kittens to be adventure cats (exploring the great outdoors in harness with us), and we chose the Puppia brand because it has earned high reviews from various cat experts and adventure cat websites. We initially measured our kittens too loosely and ordered the medium size, which is too big for both. We have been using them anyway to get the kittens used to the harness, and we just reordered the Puppia harness in a size small.

If you are measuring your cat for a harness, we recommend that you measure close to the body, instead of allowing for 1-2" like some sites recommend. You want enough room around the neck and body for your cat to be comfortable, and too tight around the neck can injure your cat's windpipe. However, your cat's fur can give you a bigger measurement than what you need. Our kittens are 12 lbs each, and when we measured close to their bodies, we measured their necks at 9.5" and girth at 14". The medium is loose and sloppy around their neck, and the small will be perfect. Go for the tighter measurement, and then adjust the straps of the Puppia harness if you need more room.

Also, some websites on harness training warned that the sound of Velcro and snaps on a harness might frighten your cat. These sites recommended opening and closing the Velcro and snaps around your cats to get them used to the sound and letting them play with the harnesses so they get used to them. We did this for about 2 weeks before putting them on our kittens, and they weren't frightened at all. In fact, they love their adventures outside so much that they stand perfectly still when we put their Puppia harnesses on them, and they cry when we take them off!

This is the third Puppia harness that we've used with our small dog. The quality and function are exceptional. Our dog seems to forget that he's wearing it!

I originally got this for my dog, but it turned out to be too big, but guess who it fits? My fat kitty Mal. I tried to get a picture with her wearing it, but she flew off under the couch. The mesh outer layer is stylish and the color is so bright, no more losing kitty. There are 2 clips on this harness, one metal ring, and one cloth loop. Just attach the leash to the metal loop (the cloth loop is to connect the the back to). The inside is slightly padded to be more comfortable for the pet to wear. The part that goes over the neck is one sold piece, no fighting to get it clipped. Easily adjustable.

This is a cute, fun way to keep your darling pet wrangled. I do admit, I like not having to adjust the collar area, but I also don't like it, because there is a chance of it being too large and easily gotten out of even when the clip is hooked.

We tried several harnesses for our chihuahua before giving this one a shot. The Puppia harness is the only one she can't wiggle herself out of - that alone makes it my favorite! It's such a relief to be able to take her for a walk without having to worry that she'll get free somehow!

Im giving this 4 starts because its a great harness! Super easy to fit to your cat and comfortable for him. I didn't give it 5 stars tho because the harness leash it comes with is way to short. Would be better if it was at least 3 feet longer :)

The harness fits my cat UhHuh beautifully and I was able to attach her "Support Animal" patch without a problem.

I've been a fan of the Puppia products for the past year or so, ever since my Jack Russell Terrier welcomed me into his life. Puppia makes excellent harnesses and believe me, if the first harness I bought, is still "wearable" after a year of a Jack Russell Terrier relentless abuse, it has to be a great product!

Recently bought this cameo and a red large harness for my 17 pound year and a half old friend. Great fit and "Paco" looks great in them.

Make sure this harness fits perfectly because if it doesn't, he or she might slide right through if not properly secured. If your pup is too anxious or jumpy I recommend you hold your leash to his collar and not to this harness since the velcro closure and plastic clasp might not be enough.

Highly recommend the Puppia products.

My cat is only allowed outside with a harness on and this one is the best we've ever used on him.  He gives it two paws up!

Love the Puppia harnesses.  I'm still not sure about the RiteFit, even though this is my third one, but it does adjust easily, I love what I perceive to be a comfort level for my dogs that they don't get with many other types of harnesses. They're soft and flexible.  They move with my dogs.  The air holes help to keep it breathable and I love that each of my dogs wear a different color harness.  This one happens to be a nice bright red.  Another wears turquoise (which is my personal favorite) and my little girl dog wears pink, which is cute as can be.  I got the RiteFit because of purported issues with dog's heads not fitting through standard Puppia harnesses.  Since my dogs are slender, the size I would have purchased for them may have been an issue with head size, so the RiteFit was the answer.  The funny thing was, with this one, I called up customer service after I received it, thinking I received a defective one, because I couldn't make it fit correctly.  I knew exactly how it should fit, but it wasn't working.  As I was waiting for them to answer, thinking I had to return it, I realized a piece at the back, which used Velcro, just had to be flipped around and it was fine.  Having two at home, I should have been able to see what was wrong, but I didn't see it immediately, so if you have problems and can't figure it out, play with it for a minute or two, and it should make sense to you.  If not, take it apart and put it back together.

Excellent harness.  This is my 3rd purchase of Puppia RiteFit.  Great product for dogs that squirm their way out of a regular collar.

We have an orange tabby cat that we take on vacations with us.  He weighs 16 lbs so it was hard to find a walking harness to fit him that wasn't made for a dog which was too big and bulky. Took one of the old harness that he had outgrown and removed the hard plastic parts. Use them to make a harness that fit perfect!

We have a little 7 lb. cat and, while the XS size was still too big around, when I pulled the velcro as tight as I could and attached the safety belt through both D-rings on the harness back, she was secured quite well.  This harness is far better than a harness that is just straps.  Our cat was comfortable and secure, which was a big benefit on a long trip.

I have two cats, one who is 12 and has been an indoor/outdoor cat her whole life, and a newly adopted 2-year-old who is an indoor cat. The new cat is very curious about the outdoors, but we've decided she's going to remain an indoor only cat so that we don't have to worry about her get eaten by coyotes. In order to keep her from feeling left out, we decided to try out a harness for supervised backyard time.

She isn't particularly fond of the harness (though I don't know that she'd like ANY harness), but it does its job and she doesn't care about how weird it feels once she's exploring outside. It seems durable and difficult to slip out of, and the bungee leash is a nice feature so that she knows when she's getting near the end of her range. I wish the clips that hold it on were a little easier to undo, but that might just be a matter of breaking them in and I'd much rather the harness be too hard to get off than too easy to get off.

My main complaint about this harness is the size. The package says that the medium fits cats up to 20 pounds, and the large fits up to 40 pounds. My cat is about average size, muscular, and weighs 12 pounds, and this is very close to being too small for her. The straps that go behind the legs are a little snug even on the loosest setting, and the adjustable clip on the neck also has to be almost as low as possible. I'm worried a large would be too big, so it would be nice if there was a size in between or a little more room for adjustment  if my cat gains any weight at all (not to mention if she balloons up to 20 pounds!) there's no way this harness will still fit.

Price note: I saw this on Amazon but decided to see if the pet store had a better selection of harnesses and ended up buying it there. I didn't bother checking the price difference since usually Amazon items are more expensive than what you find in stores, but this cost almost twice as much at the store! Definitely buy it on here.

UPDATE: My cat has managed to Houdini her way out of this harness twice now, once after hearing a loud noise and bolting indoors (not scary), and once after getting stuck in a raspberry bush while on a longer leash then running off (very scary, would not recommend letting your cats enter large plants). She's a master escape artist, so this is probably an anomaly, but make sure that the head hole is smaller than your cat's body and remember to tighten the harness as far as it will go with the little rubber ring near where you clip the leash.

This is the third Puppia I have purchased with Amazon...all in different colors!  I use a dog harness for my Shitzu so she doesn't pulll which is better than a dog collar because of her breed.  Terrific product!!

Also bought the matching "harness".  Two of my cats will wear it and walk on lease.  Takes a little patience but it works much better than traditional harness.

Very pretty and very comfy.  Both my cat and I love it!  The first time I ordered a XS size but too small for my cat, so I returned it.  I paid the shipping, though it is not much.  I contacted the seller to expedite this one (M-L) so that I can use it on our trip on Thanksgiving.  The seller contacted me immediately and sent it out the same day.  I'm very happy with this harness as well as the excellent service by the seller.  Recommend highly!

I like the fact that the external straps are adjustable to help position the coat correctly and comfortably for our Dachshund. He actually really likes wearing the coat too. Other harnesses by various manufacturers have chafed on him but the Puppia line is well made and well-designed. A great buy. For fit comparisons, we purchased the large, and our Dachshund is a lean 12.5 lbs and 4-1/2 yrs old, He is classified as a miniature, however his vet says he is extraordinarily long for the breed. I believe a standard breed dachshund might need to go to an XL size.
