@lvoss:

You can order the harnesses online, http://www.wiggleswagswhiskers.com/

Nicky is in a small.

Thank you.

Lisa, is he just barely in a small? or could a slightly bigger Basenji fit into a small. I would like to get one for Hippo, but he is a the large side..

[lvoss]

His is taken in about a 1/3 on the chest side straps and almost a 1/2 on the under strap so plenty of room to adjust smaller and still a ways to go on the larger side but if your boy has a good amount of girth you may want to go up to a medium.

My dilemna as well. Kipawa is 26.2 lbs. Wish they made something between small and medium.

I really think the small would work for the vast majority of basenjis. Even my biggest around basenji would still fit this small. It has probably 4 inches I could still let out around the chest which is what would need the most adjusting.

Fran, if Kevin and Therese are going to come out to the lure event this weekend in Cathlamet and if they have a similar sized dog to Kipawa then we can test it on that dog and let you know if you will have enough room.

I think I am going to order a small, then if it is too small, I can use it on one of the girls.

[lvoss]

That makes sense, and when you have more than one basenji chances are it will fit someone.

I think I'm going to order 1 too. Buddy is 28 lbs but will probaly be fine with a small.

Those look very nice. I use harnesses for Eddie due to neck issues that presented as a severe limp right front leg/shoulder. A good friend/chiro felt around and thought it was actually neck, so we do "gently pull his head off' stretches when he seems stiff and that , combined with a 'step-in' harness has made a huge difference. I hope your Nicky is better soon and that the harness helps him as much as one helped Eddie.
