The Doggie Design American River Choke Free Dog Harness in Cobalt Sport Ombre is a highly popular, patented step-in harness designed specifically for safety and comfort. It is unique for its trachea-safe design, which ensures that any pulling pressure is directed solely to the chest and never the neck—a critical feature for small breeds prone to respiratory issues.
Choke-Free Technology: A patented design that pulls from the chest, making it an ideal choice for use as a car seat belt harness.
Adjustable Fit: Features 3 inches of adjustability thanks to its patented closure slide, allowing for a precise fit even on hard-to-measure dogs.
Triple Safety System: Secured with a wide touch-fastener (Velcro), a high-strength plastic side-release buckle, and double welded D-rings.
Safety & Visibility: Equipped with reflective strips on the chest for safer nighttime or early morning walks.
Durable Construction: Built with a zig-zag trim binding stitch for maximum strength and certified break strength tested up to 386 lbs (in larger sizes).
