Customers are mixed about the fit of the pet supplies. Some mention that it's adjustable so it'll not be too tight or loose, and it provides for a snug and secure fit. However, others say that the legs fit perfectly, but the neck part is a bit too small. The small/medium fits beautifully, while the extra small harness fits her perfectly. However some customers also mention that the collar area is really proportionately much smaller, and the way of adjusting the size/tightness of the harness is very convoluted. Overall, the product is praised for its adjustable fit and sturdy construction.

You don't know til you try!
We were uncertain with how it'd go at first, but figured we wouldn't know until we try! SO glad we did! We got our kitty from Second Chance for Homeless pets, and they said she's been around humans but was never truly an indoor cat at any point in her life thus far. When we adopted her, we decided/agreed to have her be an indoor only kitty but wanted to give her that freedom to go outside occasionally!*** ABOUT TRAINING OUR CAT TO USE THE HARNESS ***She's one year old, and this is what we did to get her into her harness and outside!....For about a month we put the harness on her gently while feeding her maybe 2-4 little tiny treats letting her know it's OK. She protested a little bit at first, but she's never been the least bit hostile, so we weren't concerned about that at least! She'd just sit there/lay down and not move. We left the harness on her for 10-30 minutes at a time (after about 3 weeks we left it on for a full hour!), and would then take it off her and give her plenty of praise and maybe another treat or two...Each week we noticed an improvement! The first week she just laid around in it and didn't move much.After a while she started to slowly move around (with such a hilarious/odd walking style...!)The next week she started walking around more ...normally lol...The next week she wasn't afraid to run around and play with her toys!Fast forward to about 5 weeks later and now she sits at the front door and WANTS to go out! She even nuzzled into the harness when I held it up to put it on her. It is SO cute! You just have to know/read your cat's tells to see how best you can harness train them. I think it helped me knowing that it would be a long process. Some people it was fine and dandy in a week, but each cat is different. It took my cat 4-5 weeks to be completely comfortable in it.She seems to want to go out at night though, she doesn't really like the day time because we live in an apartment complex and the amount of motion and noise outside I think makes her nervous/scared. She'll just walk around our floor and look over the railing, and she's not afraid to go down the stairs or anything, but seems to just enjoy sitting outside for a bit! Amazing purchase, so worth it, and I know she loves it too!Oh, and we don't really give her treats anymore when using the harness or outside, and she's perfectly fine with the attention and praise, haha.*** ABOUT THE PURCHASE/PRODUCT ITSELF... ***We got the S/M size, and she's a ~9 pound Black/Maine Coon/Rag-Doll? mix. She's a tiny thing! It fits her stomach perfectly, without the velcro hanging loose from being too tight/loose or anything. The velcro bit around her neck is a little big though, It'll fit just fine but because it's like...2 inches wide it took quite a bit of getting used to for her. She doesn't like to turn her head in it, she'll just move her body xD...When I put it on her I make sure to not let her whiskers get caught in any of the neck velcro... and make sure to not make it too tight or too loose. The overall feel of the harness is very comfortable! Nothing irritates her fur or skin as far as I can tell, and she's long haired and none of it bothers her as well. She doesn't get scared of the velcro noise (it's kind of loud...), and it's WAYYYY stronger than I thought! I have to get some form of grip on the harness to actually get it off her. She doesn't mind that anymore either.---All in all, it just takes some getting used to, a lot of patience, and treats! I attached a photo and I hope it helps... Have fun with your kitties!

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2023
This harness is fantastic. Comfy and secure. This purchase was actually for a second one, so I could use one as scrap to expand the waistband of another. The XL still isn’t large enough for a Maine Coon. But since he likes this harness so much, it was worth the customizing! And now it’s purrfect. Shipping was fast, the price was comparable to the other retailer we bought the first one from, and we appreciate this seller! Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for big cats and vet visits
Reviewed in Canada on January 25, 2023
Hard to find XL sizing so no complaints as it does the job. I expected the quality would be better based on the pricing but it’s just okay. The material is thinner than expected and it’s something you can probably sew in your free time if you’re able to. Still in the midst of harness training so maybe I’ll update later on when I’m actively using it.
Edit: used it during a recent vet visit and it was so much easier when it came to giving my cat their yearly vaccines. 10/10

5.0 out of 5 stars Very secure harness…like a straight jacket but in a good way
Reviewed in Canada on May 2, 2022
First off, it’s really a great harness. It’s incredibly secure. My cat was indoor/outdoor and ran away once and now he only goes outside while in a harness. I was unsure how he would react to a harness for the first time. I wasn’t sure if he was going to try and slip out so I wanted something that seemed really secure. It absolutely is! He hasn’t gotten out of it once. Great part is you don’t have to slip it over their heads. Just Velcro around them and you’re good to go. The Velcro is intense, it takes a bit of pulling to actually get it off which I like. I’ve used this for a while now and the Velcro hasn’t changed, even with it being full of his fur it’s still just a a strong. Only thing is his torso is in line with the measurements but his neck is a bit smaller so you’ll see in the photo I included that I would get this flap that stuck out around his neck. I found some fabric Velcro (no sew) and stuck it on and it works perfectly to hold down the flap. It is definitely restricting for him. Took a bit for him to walk normally, maybe he’s just being dramatic. The neck part goes up realllly high on his neck so I kind of fasten it down wards? When I fasten it downwards the extra Velcro isn’t needed. When fasted properly, it is needed. You can see in one of the photos there, so that he’s got more room and isn’t so constricted. Or else the neck part goes right up to his chin. He’s still super secure like that. He hasn’t been able to get out of it even when he chased a bunny in our backyard. Also he is I really big Tom cat, not fat just big! Like 18lbs big and I got the med/large size.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 9, 2023
I had purchased a few harness’s for my cat. He hated all of them. Always had a struggle to get them on and when it was on he’d flop to the floor and wouldn’t move. Very unhappy kitty.

This harness was a different story. He let me put it on, it looks more comfortable for him. And as soon as I get it out he runs over excited and ready to go for a walk.

It’s a secure harness and it doesn’t pull round his throat.

We are both really happy with the purchase
