|  Fosters and Smith have a figure 8 cat harness. The step in harnesses don't seem to put pressure on the neck. |

| I just got a harness from an Ebayer it's the absolute best harness I have ever had for Georgie (this is the 4th one). She has all different harness designs, and she is very pleasant to do business with. I am super paranoid about pulling on his neck and this worked great here is where I got it from on ebay: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQ...ZlilpawsQ5f540 Hope you are able to pull it up!

 But, regardless of what harness you buy, make sure it is STEP IN. I have a step in and a non-step in. The non-step in is a pain in the rear!!!!

| hello..i havent gotten my yorkie yet..but i did buy a harness today..its a Li'l Pals Adjustable harness by Coastal Pet products..I got it from Petco. From the picture it looks as if the smallblack pad will sit on the dogs back..which is what the directions say as well. i picked this harnes because it looked like it would be easier for me and comfortable for the pup. My cat uses a regular harness and i may switch to this style....it looks like a utility belt..or a body-less vest..just arm holes. hope this helps!

| I was looking for a figure 8 harness last fall couldn't find one for dogs but with such small dogs rabbit harnesses are made the same way for our jack russel I had to buy him a ferret harness to fit. I was looking at harnesses today on ebay and decided I'd be creative and make a couple myself with things I already had here at home. Could have been better but they weren't terrible for the first ones. I'll try to post pics later. lol oscar looks sooo cute in it.

| I have gotten the step in harness from upcountry. I have also had them made from Robin at Spoiled Yorkies. She does great work, and they are custom made for your dog. I have to check out Chattiesmom's harnessess.

| I also use the step in harnesses, but somehow my little hoodenies each slipped out of theirs once. It happened a long time ago with Louie and just yesterday with bella while we were in my pool area. Scared the ^&*% out of me, so I went online immediately and orderd to harness vests from tinkerbells closet. Has anyone else ever had trouble with their babies slipping out of step in harness???? I know I have them tight enough. I dont get it?

| Donating YT 30K Club Member  | My Pom slipped out the other day but I think it was because I had loosened it some and she has a ton of hair so I was pulling her and it came off. But she never runs away she obeys better than Cali
