hi all

My chihuahua is having his 2nd shots on friday so will be able to go out for walkies, the thing is I brought a small puppy lead and collar but its way too big, I would also prefer to get a harnes but cant seem top find one small enough, hes not an extremely small chi, he weighs just over 2 pound at 10 weeks..........help

thanks in advance

clare :)

I'm sure i have seen cat harnesses, I presume they should be small enough? The collars should fit anyway shouldn't they?

Yes, I was thinking about possibly a cat collar. Failing that, how about making one? It should be quite easy to make a first collar and this is only likely to last for a short time before the pup grows out of it and into the small dog sizes.

Just a thought, John

If you have a pets at home store go there as i have even seen rabbit harnesses that i'm sure would fit lol :D

thanks alot guys, i will try a cat harness :)

you will not believe this for my tiny yorkie i had to buy from the usa although i also bought him a cat harness it got al twisted  around his leg  luckily i found a lady in the park with some sissors... i did get a nice small harnesss from http://www.hubint.com they are very nice and also www.petlondon.co.uk have some small harness they are pretty but expensive but reading your puppy is only 2lb you might have to use a ferret  harness until he gets bigger.hope your pup will enjoy his walk.

hi

thankyou, did you try a ferret harness, where do you get them from :)

you should be able to get the ferret harness in most ordinary pet shops i bought mine in coombs in brighton the ferret harness did work at the time

Hi clare,  Hub International (someone gave the web address above) do very fine toy dog slip collars/leeds combined.  Mike (my partner) uses thsi type on the Chis, from puppys and in the show ring.  they are a very fine cord, and they do 2 or 3 different types, including 1 with a plaited bit for under the throat and another with a satin cusioned area under the throat, both for comfort.  As they are adjustable easily you can use from babyhood right on up.
