This weight band is intended for very small dogs and may suit breeds such as Chihuahuas, small Yorkshire Terriers, Toy Poodles, Pomeranians and similarly sized crossbreeds. Breed names are only a guide, as two dogs of the same breed can have quite different body shapes.

This size may suit dogs such as Miniature Dachshunds, Jack Russells, Shih Tzus, small Pugs and other small breeds or crossbreeds within the stated weight band. The dog’s actual weight and body shape should always take priority over the breed name.

The lead attaches to the ring on the dog’s back, so pressure is taken by the harness body rather than being concentrated directly on the throat through a collar. A correctly fitted harness can reduce the risk of neck strain, but it must not rub, restrict the shoulders or allow the dog to escape. Dogs Trust advises checking both fit and freedom of movement.

Not by itself. It provides a more comfortable point of lead attachment than pulling directly against a collar, but it is not sold as a no-pull training device. A determined little dog can still have surprisingly firm opinions about which direction the walk is going.

Start with the weight band, fasten the harness and adjust the straps evenly. One finger should fit comfortably between the strapping and the dog’s body, the harness should remain in position while walking, and the dog should not be able to reverse out of it.

No medical, veterinary or behavioural effect is claimed. The stones are chosen for their natural appearance and traditional symbolism, allowing the owner to select a gemstone whose meaning feels appropriate for their dog.

No. Natural stone can vary slightly in colour, pattern, clarity and markings. These small differences are expected and help each charm feel a little more individual.

The light-reflective elements can improve visibility when light reaches them, such as from streetlights or vehicle headlights. They do not replace a dog light, high-visibility accessory or the usual care needed when walking after dark.

Show the available colours and sizes together, then add dog leads, collars, bowls or other walking accessories nearby. Crystal and New Age shops can also display them beside gemstone jewellery, tumble stones and pet-themed gifts to make the crossover immediately clear.
