Chihuahua Harnesses
A harness for your Chihuahua is an excellent, and oftentimes recommended, alternative to using a typical collar and leach combo. Equipping your tiny canine with one of these will allow you to control them through the use of a leash or lead. Although, one of the main advantages to using a harness is that it doesn't put the strain on their neck like a collar does. Depending on how well your Chihuahua does on a collar and leash, this can be a safer and more comfortable alternative.

Benefits of a Chihuahua Harness
If you walk your Chihuahua on a leash attached to a collar around their neck, you could unknowingly be causing discomfort, pain, or even injury as you walk them. You see, the full force of your pull (or theirs) is distributed only at their neck, which is a sensitive and fragile area already. This can lead to various problems including difficulty breathing and a collapsed trachea in extreme cases. To make matters worse, all small do breeds - Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, Poodles, and Dachshunds are at greater risk for developing neck/throat injuries due to their small size and stature. As you walk your Chihuahua on a leash and collar, you may notice them exhibit signs of choking or gagging from the strain of the leash, especially if they're hyper and wanting to "pull" away from you as you walk them. Typically, this alone wont be the sole cause of any serious disorder, however it can lead to and accelerate any underlying conditions.
This is where a dog harness comes in. By placing a harness over their body, you can attach a leash to it and walk your Chihuahua without the dangerous tugging of their neck. This basically changes the entire function of how your leash works, as the force of the pull will now be distributed throughout their entire body instead of the neck. Not only will this be safer and more comfortable for your Chihuahua, but it will also help prevent them from getting their leash tangled around their feet, or other objects.
Which Kind of Chihuahua Harness Should I Choose?
The answer to this question really depends on your personal preference. Once you start looking at the available Chihuahua harnesses, you'll notice that there is quite a wide variety to choose from. Some harnesses are simple, made just like a stitched up collar that fits around their body, while others are more complex, such as a shirt or dress with a built-in harness. You can even find Chihuahua harnesses made out of leather and rhinestones! Take the time to look through all of your choices to make sure you find the one right for your Chihuahua.
With your new Chihuahua harness, traveling and going for walks with your tiny loved one should be a breeze!
