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.
