What is an H-harness for dogs and why is it a great option?
If you are looking for a comfortable and safe alternative for walking your dog, the type H harness is one of the best options. But what makes it different from other harnesses and why is it so recommended? In this article we explain what an H-Harness is, its benefits and how to choose the best one for your pet.
What is an H-Harness?
The type H harness is a type of harness that owes its name to the shape it adopts when extended, resembling the letter "H". It is composed of two main straps:
✅ One that surrounds the neck
✅ Another that surrounds the chest
Both are connected by a strap along the dog's back, allowing a firm and secure fit without compromising mobility or putting pressure on the neck.
Benefits of an H-Harness
Choosing the right harness is essential for your dog's comfort and safety. Here are the main benefits of the type H harness:
- Increased comfort and safetyUnlike the traditional collar, the H-type harness distributes the pressure evenly, avoiding neck and tracheal injuries.
- Prevents tugging and improves controlIdeal for dogs that tend to pull on the leash, as it helps to redirect their strength without causing damage.
- Perfect fit for different sizes and breedsThis type of harness is adjustable in several zones, allowing a better fit for small, medium and large dogs.
- Prevents injuries and respiratory problems: Collars can cause problems in the trachea of some small and brachycephalic breeds (such as the French bulldog or the pug). With an H type harness, you avoid this direct pressure on the neck.
- Greater freedom of movementUnlike other types of harnesses that may restrict the dog's natural movements, the H-design allows walking and running in total comfort.
