A dog harness is a dog walking staple. In fact, many pet parents opt for dog harnesses instead of dog collars. Why? Because they help distribute pressure away from their fur baby’s neck that’s caused by the leash, especially in dogs who pull. The best dog harnesses will have secure leash attachment points, be made with durable, easy to clean materials and have several adjustment points for a comfortable fit.
We’ve rounded up the best-selling, top-rated dog harnesses that have been tested and approved by Chewy dog owners like you, so you can rest assured that you’re getting the best one for your dog-walking duties.

Best Overall Dog Harness
-
easy to put on and take off
I recently began to foster a little 14+ y.o. dog. She came to me with nothing but an ear infection. I found that as soon as I put the harness on her; she seemed more comfortable around the rest of my fur family. Tina will be having a new home as soon as I'm finished with her medication. A little dog is beginning to feel secure.
-
secure fit
I like the fasteners being velcro plus the clips. No way is the dog getting out and the fit seems comfortable.
-
Soft and easy to put on.
Bought this for our 9 week old puppy. Was easy to put on. Is soft and does not bother him. Love the leash that comes with it.
Best No-Pull Dog Harness
-
Very sturdy
This Harness works very well for my 97 pound Pyrenees and has stood up to her chasing every cat she sees very well while pulling me along. Highly recommend.
-
Easy
The harness is easy to adjust & once set it takes just one buckle to get on & off. Love the front hook (chest) Although it is mainly to discourage pulling I purchased because my girl has backward breathing & this alleviates any pressure on her throat that a regular or martingale collat causes.
-
Golden Retreiver Needed Large
I tried the M/L at first since we have a small golden but the large worked better (though it's on the tightest setting for our 55 lbs dog).
Best Harness for a Puppy

Great product!
Always been a fan of the Easy Walk harnesses, simply to adjust for sizing and easy to put on and remove from my dogs.

Deluxe Easy Walk Harness
Purchased to replace an older petsafe harness that finally had worn out and frayed after several years of use. I am hopeful this new harness will hold up just as well. I have always used the petsafe harnesses for our Boxer dogs when training and then during daily walks. I find this type of harness effective when teaching to heel and slow down. Of course patience goes a long way!
-
ease of use
I like that it fits on easily and really does keep my puppy from pulling, without being harmful at all!
Best Small Dog Harness
-
Great fit!
I have a 5.5 lb chi and this harness fits beautifully. Easy to get on, secure and comfortable for her to wear. Couldn't ask for more except maybe more colors!
-
Secure
I like that this harness has Velcro, clasp and two rings to hook the leash to. So I do not worry that my baby may get out of his harness. It's very secure and has padding in the chest area. I am so pleased with this harness.
-
Nice and soft
This one fit my Yorkie mix perfectly and it's been a struggle to find the right one until now. Super easy to get it on him; they just step into the leg holes and then you adjust the velcro flaps on the back.

Best Dog Harness with Handle
-
Sturdy and just what we needed!
I love the sturdier handle than our last harness. It’s easy to put on and doesn’t loosen or slip as much as slip-on harnesses. It’s not as reflective as I hoped it would be.
-
solid!
This harness is solid and good looking. My 90lb golden retriever can be redirected when he tugs by using that front ring to hookup. Very pleased, got one for each of my monsters.
-
Durable harness
Purchased this a year ago for my spirited Brittany. Daily 1 mile walks and the harness still looks new. Sturdy construction.
Best Dog Hiking Harness
-
Color
Love this one! better than the one I had before. the color is perfect for any time of day - Green. Also the reflectors work great at night.
-
It’s sturdiness
attach Should last a long time. Capable to leash both top & underneath, 2 connections for extra safety with a top strap to grasp if you have to lift your dog.
-
Awesome Harness
The dogs don't tug and they can't back out of them. I jog the dogs about 3 miles every day and these harnesses have no wear on them. Easy to put them on easy to take them off.
Best Walk-in Dog Harness
-
Happy to find these harnesses
I have used a harness like these for 16 years. All of a sudden, the place that I bought them no longer carried them. I didn't want to changed as these are perfect for my 4 smaller girls..the oldest is about 20 lbs the smallest about 8 lbs, I figured that Chewy would be the only place I might find something. And, I did. These harnesses are back lead harnesses and very easily adjustable. My girls stepped in as if they knew exactly what was going on. It will take a few days to soften up as with anything new. Honestly, so happy to find these. My youngest girl will be 3 on Valentines Day so I certainly hope this company continues to make them. I...

Perfection
I love this harness for my Yorkie Coco Puff the soft padding on the straps that go under their front legs is soft and comfortable. It's also very safe they can't get out and it's a no pull harness too.
-
Sporn XS dog harnesses are the best for out little dogs
These harnesses are perfect for our little chihuahua terriers. Please keep XS in stock in the red and blue colors as well as black. Thank you!
Best Dog Car Harness
-
Fits broad chest
Our dog is a boxer mix, so she has a barrel chest but slim waist. Other harnesses don't fit well, but this is the best one yet. It took us a bit to get the fit just right, but the dual tightening options really helped.
-
Harness
The harness is really powerful and holds my 60 pound Sato. My previous harness he was able to escape from and it was frustrating to say the least. He is safe and secure with this harnessz
-
Great quality!
This is such a great quality harness. It’s very great material and you can tell it’s going to last a long time. It fits really well and is the perfect addition to my dog ownership.
Best Mesh Harness for Dogs
-
Stylish and secure
Highly reflective strips for evening walks. Easy on/off. Buckles feel sturdy and secure (our reason for replacing her previous harness.) Also, looks super cute on.
-
The way it fits.
This harness is very adjustable. I can get it just right. Also the reflectiveness is very good for those night walks.
-
Perfect. The chest piece is long enough that the front straps don't rub under her front legs. She is at the borderline for medium versus large but the medium is plenty big enough.
Best Reflective Dog Harness
-
Most versatile
This is one of the most versatile harnesses for dogs. We have been through several and this is the best. Especially if you have a dog that sniffs a lot it won’t fall off.
-
Great Harness
I have 3 dogs that do Scent Work and all of them use this style/brand of harness. The harness is comfortable for them and allows freedom of movement.
-
Great product!
We’ve been using this harness for all of our dogs for years. When we’ve needed to upgrade in size or added a new dog and needed a new harness, we just re-ordered the same harness. Fits the dog perfectly and our dogs have never gotten out of it (unlike other harness we’ve used in the past). Great product. Highly recommend.
Best Budget Dog Harness
-
Fits well
This is a good one to try. My Jack is thicker through the chest and slim in the neck. It’s fitting her well.
-
Good quality, easy to adjust and put on.
My boxers would pull like crazy on their walks. It took all of the fun out of it. These actually made them stop pulling! I wish I'd gotten these months ago!
-
Perfect fit!
The ring on the back is how I like to use the harness. The whole thing is better for control than a simple collar.
You can’t go wrong with these Chewy customer favorites, but no matter which one you pick, you’ll want to ensure the harness fits properly. Measure your dog and refer to the product’s sizing guide to find the best fit for your pet. Learn how to measure your dog for a harness here.
