How to Choose the Right Harness for Your Puppy
Bringing home a new puppy is exciting — but when it comes to walks, the gear you choose matters. A well-fitted harness keeps your pup safe, comfortable, and ready to explore the world with confidence.
Here’s what to look for when choosing your puppy’s first harness.
Why a Harness is Better Than a Collar for Puppies
Puppies are still growing and have delicate necks. A collar can put strain on the throat, especially if your puppy pulls or gets startled. A Y-shape step-in harness spreads pressure across the chest, keeping walks safer and more comfortable.
Choosing the Right Size
To get the right fit:
-
Measure your puppy’s chest girth just behind the front legs.
-
Allow space for two fingers under the tape for comfort.
-
Pick an adjustable harness that grows with your pup.

Look for Visibility & Safety Features
Puppies are curious and unpredictable, which means visibility is crucial. An LED harness ensures your pup can be seen from every angle — perfect for early morning or evening walks.

Walking gear is something you’ll use daily, so choose a design that makes you smile. HAPPUP harnesses come in Macaron-inspired pastels like Candy Skies, Lemon Glow, and Lavender Dream — chic and puppy-friendly.
Comfort is Key
For growing pups, comfort is everything. Look for:
