  1. WHAT DO VETS RECOMMEND FOR DOGS?

  2. A If you’re a dog owner, you’ve probably wondered whether a prone collar or a harness is better for your furry friend. Many of us have grown up thinking prone collars are the default choice, but veterinary experts and dog trainers are increasingly recommending no- pull dog harnesses as the safer and more comfortable option. So, what’s the best choice for your pup? Let’s break it down. QUESTION EVERY DOG OWNER ASKS

  3. THE PROBLEM WITH PRONE COLLARS Tracheal damage Too much pressure on the windpipe can cause breathing difficulties. Neck strain A sudden pull can lead to muscle and spinal injuries. Thyroid damage Repeated pressure on the throat can affect the thyroid gland, leading to long-term health concerns. Eye problems Increased pressure on the neck can raise intraocular pressure, which is particularly risky for breeds prone to eye issues. Even small dogs can suffer from these issues. A single lunge at a squirrel or a sudden jerk of the leash could be enough to cause harm.

  4. WHY NO-PULL DOG HARNESSES ARE A BETTER CHOICE A properly fitted harness distributes pressure across a dog’s chest and shoulders rather than focusing it on the neck. This reduces the risk of injury and makes walks more comfortable. The best dog harnesses UK vets recommend have the following benefits Even pressure distribution Better control Improved posture Reduced risk of injury

  5. FIT AND FUNCTION MATTER Just switching to a harness isn’t enough— you need to ensure it fits properly. An ill- fitting harness can cause chafing, restrict movement, or even put pressure on the same areas a prone collar would. Prone Collars Still Have a Place While harnesses are better for leash walking, prone collars still serve an important purpose. Every dog should wear a collar with an ID tag— this helps reunite lost pets with their owners. However, prone collars should never be used for training or as the main attachment for a leash. If you do use a prone collar, make sure it fits properly. A collar that’s too loose can slip off, while one that’s too tight can cause discomfort. Breakaway collars are a good option for playtime to prevent accidents. Avoid too-tight straps - Look for adjustable harnesses to get the perfect fit. Check shoulder movement - Your dog should be able to move freely. Choose the right type - Front-clip harnesses help with training, while back-clip options are better for relaxed walks.

  6. FINAL THOUGHTS Vets and trainers agree—no-pull dog harnesses are the safer, healthier choice for leash walking. They provide better control, reduce the risk of injury, and make walks more enjoyable for both you and your dog. If you haven’t already, consider switching to a harness. Your pup will thank you! ? +44 - 74698-06126 @petbuds support@petbuds.co.uk www.petbuds.com 478 B Bradford Road || Postcode: WF17 5LG || United Kingdom
