If the harness don’t fit your dog correctly, even the most excellent mini dachshund harness may be ineffective. That’s why you should always measure your dog before purchasing anything. With a basic tape measure, you’ll need to measure three key parameters:
Neck circumference: The width of your little Doxie’s neck at its broadest point.
Chest circumference: Take a vertical measurement immediately behind the front legs.
Back length: measured from the neck’s base to the tail’s beginning.
Weighing your dog is also helpful because many harness state what dog weight they are suitable for. Probably, you won’t be able to discover a harness that exactly suits you. Look for harness in the area that are easily adjustable and can be suited to any measurement individually in that case.
