Why it matters
The Optifit steers your dog's head to reduce pulling. Its nose band and cheek straps adjust and lock with a camlock, so it fits dogs that do not suit standard sizes. A padded nose band allows panting, eating and drinking, cheek straps are reflective, and a safety link attaches to the collar.
