WAGD Dog Harness Reviews

Goal…. Find a harness with no mesh cos Halo couldn’t help being born part red heeler meaning she moults like a mofo and we learnt very quickly a harness with any sort of mesh is a massive pain in the ass to keep clean and stop it from getting stinky 😫
Find a mesh free harness that’s also quick drying cos we have a four legged water baby on our hands. Another reason for the old fur covered harness getting stinky and needing super quick replacement 😂
Find a mesh free and less likely to stink harness that is cleverly designed to fit her staffy x heeler body properly!

According to Halo’s measurements she is a mix of both size small and medium but she’s only 7mths so figured play it safe and go medium just in case!

Medium is tightened on the smaller side and fits like a dream! So glad cos there’s plenty of room to adjust as she grows!

Thankyou for such a brilliantly thought out harness that I feel confident for her safety in and she clearly feels very comfortable in 🤗 ok

Absolutely fantastic harness! I'm I'm the UK and have tried so many harnesses trying to find one that worked for my reactive dog. He struggles with some discomfort after hip replacements and is very gear averse but he can also lunge and finding a harness that was a good fit, light weight and strong enough was so hard but WAGD tick all the boxes! He can move freely, the soft material doesn't mat his fur (which he hates!) And I know if he does have a reaction it is going to hold him and not hurt him or break! He now stands to have it put on and walks have become enjoyable again.

We are so pleased with Bug’s new WAGD Burgundy harness. Being a terrier X dachshund X chihuahua x gremlin, it is exceptionally hard to find a harness that fits her comfortably and also keeps her safe. Bug hates feeling things on her back and can be very gear shy so we have tried a lot of harnesses in her short life. Having the option of not placing things over her head or manhandling her paws along with the extra padding is a game changer for her and for me. When Bug isn’t comfortable she walks sideways (crab walking we call it) but I can say with her WAGD harness we have not had any crab imitations. It’s a beautiful colour, very well made, functional, ethical and safe for her joints. Given Bug has developed arthritis at a very young age (she’s not even 3 years old) her comfort and pain levels directly affect her quality of life. Pain and discomfort is immediately visible in Bug’s behaviour and knowing her harness doesn’t contribute to that is a big relief for us both. Walks are much more enjoyable because she doesn’t dislike wearing her harness (and this is a dog who stays firmly on lead given her propensity to try to join new families she likes the look of and inability to accept another dog may not like her). Bug’s harness is a necessity not just a “sometimes” bit of kit, it’s vital that she wears something that allows her joints a full range of motion. Thank you Carly & Peanut for the countless hours of hard work to better the lives of dogs and their pet humans! We have recommended this harness to so many people and we will always support a brand that puts welfare first.

Absolutely love this harness! It fits my dog really well and is comfortable for her to wear. It’s easy to put on and take off, and it stays securely in place without restricting her movement. The quality feels really good, I love how sturdy it is and it’s well priced considering. She seems much more comfortable wearing this compared to other harnesses we’ve tried. Definitely recommend it! (Won’t buy another harness from anywhere else after discovering this one)

Dog is a 16.5kg border collie x kelpie puppy (6 months) wearing a size M.
Easily adjusted to about as small as it could go to fit her well and has plenty of room for her to grow into.

I reached out to the human behind WAGD (I’m terrible with names, sorry!) after trying so many harnesses that either didn’t fit properly, slid around too much, or rubbed my terrier’s coat off. They were absolutely amazing and even provided photos of a similarly sized dog wearing the harness, including how it sits and holds up while the dog is moving.
We’ve now used it multiple times over the past week at the beach, in mud and for general terrier chaos, and I’m genuinely so impressed with it.
Our previous harness wasn’t padded, and if he suddenly jerked or ran into the end of his long line, it could be painful. He would sometimes yelp, which was incredibly distressing for both of us. The padding on this harness has completely changed that. He’s no longer hurting himself when he hits the end of the line, which is amazing, particularly for a dog already dealing with chronic pain, back pain and knee pain.
It has also held up brilliantly. There’s been no coat damage, even after beach trips, and it doesn’t slide around with the weight of a long line. It’s incredibly lightweight and adjustable, which is perfect for my weirdly proportioned little terrier.
Honestly, I even prefer it to our harness from a very popular Norwegian brand as it’s not adjustable and doesn’t fit right.
We’ll definitely be getting another one for our other dog too! ❤️

Keith is a very wiggly boy who absolutely loves his walks, and I’ve honestly lost count of how many harnesses we’ve tried trying to get the fit right.

We’ve had ones that sat too close to his armpits, ones that were too loose around the neck, too tight around the chest, or the complete opposite. Even some really good, highly adjustable brands just never seemed to sit quite right on him.

We actually bought the smallest size originally and it was still too big. Carly refunded me straight away with no fuss at all and let me know they were working on smaller sizes. As soon as they came out, I bought one.

I’m really happy with it. It’s lightweight, feels really well made and has plenty of adjustment without sitting right up in his armpits, which was a big thing for me.

I also really like having both the front and back clip options. I use the front clip when Keith is distracted or we’re working on his loose lead walking, then once we get somewhere he can sniff and wander around, I switch him to the back clip with his long line. Because the back clip sits further down his back instead of close to his neck, the line seems to get tangled around his little legs a lot less.

We’ve used it on bush walks, by the river and in the car, and it dries reasonably quickly and doesn’t seem to hold onto dirt too badly.

The only little thing I noticed was that because Keith is such a light colour, some of the black rubbed onto his fur for the first couple of wears. It wasn’t a big issue and it didn’t keep happening.

I also found it a little confusing to put on the first few times because of the shape and clips, but once you work out how it sits, it becomes much easier.

This has been one of the best fitting harnesses we’ve found for Keith. After trying so many, it’s really nice to finally have one that feels secure, gives us different options depending on what we’re doing and still lets him move around comfortably.

Really appreciate all the thoughtful details that have gone into the design of this harness, from the elastic to stop the ends of the straps from hanging out, to the extra clip around the neck for easy removal. So glad the size range was expanded so I could purchase one for my XXS pup!

My boys just love them so much
The xxs fires my tiny dog so well and m fits my kelpie amazing

We've had one of the WAGD long leads for sniffaris for ages, and always loved it. Great material and provides a good combination of freedom and safety for my dog.

We recently decided to buy a WAGD harness too, and oh my goodness I wish we'd done it sooner! My spoodle doesn't like having things go over her head, so she has led me a merry dance for years, always hiding under the table when she sees me pick up the harness.

After a week with our new WAGD one which clips in three places and doesn't require any over-head action, it's a totally different story. Because it's so easy to clip on and off she's much happier, and it means we now only put her harness on for walks instead of leaving it on her all day. We went for peacock blue, but I reckon we'll be back soon for another colour too.

Willow received her second WAGD harness today, a girl needs a smashing change of clothes right?, it's a spectacular colour and as pretty as her first one (Axel Rose).

Woof!

I’ve bought countless harnesses for little Billy (7.5kg Maltese shui tzu) that didn’t fit well and looked uncomfortable. He did not like stepping into them, or putting his head in them either, despite countless hours following all the training guides on how to do this.
Enter WAGD - game changer. Straight away, Billy was much happier having the harness go around his neck and in no time we had mastered clipping up the remaining two buckles.
The harness is fully adjustable and we were able to get a perfect fit very easily.
Paired with the 5m sniffari lead, walks are so much more fun now.
Trying to force a harness on Billy before we could go for a walk was no fun for anyone. Now, it’s so easy to get his harness on and get out for our adventures. Thank you Carly and Peanut, you have literally changed our lives xx

You won't find a business owner who cares more about the safety and well being more than Carly. I knew as soon as I came across her profile that Cooper (and now Teddy) would be in good hands with her harnesses. Built for comfort, full range of motion and durability + safety - it's the harness that ticks every box (and they look amazing).

I'm a very anxious dog mum, safety and comfort is extremely important to me - and I have full confidence in my WAGD harnesses for my boys.

This is such a quality harness! It looks adorable, it allows full range of movement and is easy to get on/off. Having the neck and body clip so that we don’t have to wrangle a wriggly puppy’s legs or neck into a harness has been a godsend. And Carly was so responsive and friendly with sizing questions. Very happy customer. 😊 We got an XS for our border terrier which should fit her for life.

The best harness out there! Fits our girl perfectly! We’ve tried many other brand but non fit as well or comfortably as the wagd one! She weighs 30kg and is wearing a medium size

My impression when I received my first delivery of two Dog Harnesses and a Ball tug tow from Wagd for our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Kaiser (6) and Biko (16 months), was a very loud "wow". Biko’s trainer and behavioral coach had enthusiastically recommended Wagd harnesses for their superior fit and comfort. I was so impressed with my order that I purchased two more harnesses plus two Signature Dog Leads and a Squeakster Tug Toy.

The quality and design of the harnesses, leads and toys is exceptional and they look fabulous! They are beautifully crafted and durable with rich, vibrant colours (the two-tone leads are amazing). As we’ve found, Wagd harnesses are the best fit for Kaiser and Biko. The harnesses allow freer movement and do not restrict areas of the body unlike other harnesses, which makes walking and playing a more comfortable experience. After all, we want our fur kids to live their best dog life 🐾💕

Absolutely love these for our Doberman and our German Shepherd x!
