Why it matters
The Y-shaped harness spreads load and hugs the torso without blocking the shoulders. It has a front no-pull D-ring and a back ring, a top handle for lifting over obstacles, and zippered side pockets for water, bags and snacks. Nylon resists dirt and abrasion, and UTX-Duraflex buckles adjust the fit.

Limitations to weigh
- Start with an empty pack and keep loads light; a fit adult dog should carry no more than about 10–25% of its weight, and puppies none. Ask your vet first.
- Measure chest girth, neck and back length with a soft tape and use the maker's chart; between sizes, size up.
