The right harness for you could help support a large dog’s back or legs, or it could be durable and have space for your dog to help you pack things on your next adventure. Take a look at these eight best harnesses for big dogs to find a good one for your dog.
1. Noxgear Light Hound Illuminated Harness
Dog on nighttime walks with this impressive harness that has multicolored changing LEDs and modes that include eight bright solid colors, multicolor flashing or slow-fading color modes. Visible from over a half-mile away, you’ll never lose your dog in the park and cars will be able to see him coming and going.
2. Backpack with Saddlebags
Backpack with Saddlebags is a comfortable harness with two saddlebags also attached, which lets your pet participate in the packing for their adventure. The bags are detachable, and so is the adjustable harness. Perfect for your next getaway.
3. Reflective Dog Harness
Reflective Dog Harness is a reflective harness with pads on the front to keep your big dog comfortable and safe. Made with French-snap leads, which is a fancy way of saying “quick release,” this harness is designed to be easy to step into and easy to get your dog out of. A neoprene chest pad provides comfort and water repellence.
4. Ruff wear Front Range Harness
The Ruff wear Front Range Harness is highly versatile, with sizes available from XXS to XXL. It’s meant for everyday use, with an easy-on, easy-off design that gives you two leash attachment points and a small storage pocket to keep dog tags quiet.
5. PetSafe Easy Walk Dog Harness
The PetSafe Easy Walk Dog Harness was created by a veterinary behaviorist specifically to help with dogs who pull while they’re being walked. A D-ring in the front lets you more effectively steer your dog, while shoulder and belly straps allow you to easily fit the harness, and there’s even a perfect-fit guarantee and optional damage-control policy which allows for replacement if your dog decides to chew on the harness instead of their favorite chew toy.
6. Rabbitgoo No-Pull Pet Harness
Ignore the funny “Rabbitgoo” name and check this harness out for its stylish reflectivity and durability. Designed to disperse pressure from the next and send it instead into the chest and belly padding, this is one harness your dog will actually want to wear. Its reflectivity comes from reflective piping interwoven into its durable nylon exterior. There’s a chest O-ring and straps that adjust in four places: two around the neck and two around the chest.
7. Kurgo Dog Car Harness
The Kurgo Dog Car Harness is an everyday harness that is also specifically designed with a 10-inch tether that can be used during car travel to safely restrain a dog that is compatible with any seat belt system. There’s a front D-ring for no-pull leash training along with a back leash attachment. Five adjustment points make this one of the most fully customizable large dog leashes we’ve seen.
8. Chai’s Choice Best Outdoor Adventure Harness
Chai’s Choice is a sturdy everyday harness with a reflective vest and two leash attachments in front and back. Customers say it’s soft and breathable, and discourages escape artists. It’s reflective all over, padded where it needs to be, and has a handle at the top in case you need to make a quick grab.
