The Buddy Belt harness concept was inspired by a miniature Dachshund named Buddy, who experienced gagging and coughing with traditional neck collars. This led to the creation of a safer, healthier alternative that reduces stress on the neck and spine. The harness features a single buckle fastened between the shoulder blades, with leg holes underneath. Made from genuine leather, it includes five eyelets for custom fit adjustments and a sliding O-ring to prevent shifting.
