So good I bought a second one!

We now have two of the harnesses and I purchased the ruffwear brush guard to go with both of them. I can now walk my two furbabies down the street without the risk of losing them because they pulled back out of their normal harness.

Great product

Makes it easier to pick up our whippet by the harness handle and gives him a bit more protection zooming through the bush.

Impractical for old stiff dog

I bought the brush guard with harness to provide more support for my old greyhound going down our steep steps. It is not easy to put the guard on - partly because the harness itself only clips on one side so I need to lift one of dog's legs up. This would be ok with a younger dog or maybe a dog with shorter legs. For now the harness itself provides enough support. I would encourage Ruff Wear to make a therapeutic harness that is easier to put on an older dog - eg perhaps if there were clips on both sides.

Unsatisfactory

Harness was advertised as being good for amputee dogs. My dog has his left front leg amputated. The design of this harness means its only easy to equip if the right leg has been amputated. Harness only has clips on one side so the one front leg that he has is supposed to be lifted of the ground and slid through the harness. Large dog and it's not an easy task.
