Dog collars are widely used today to control dogs. Although they are effective, they can be detrimental to some dogs, especially small breeds. Small dogs are known to suffer from problems related to a weak trachea (The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that allows passage of air from the back of the throat to the lungs). One of the ways that tracheal collapse can be brought on is by damage done from leash pulling, especially if you use a collar to walk your dog. Tracheal collapse is very common in small breed dogs such as Poodles, Yorkshire terriers, Chihuahua, and Pomeranians. Tracheal injuries are life threatening and very expensive to treat. Many veterinarians recommend switching to a harness that doesn"t choke to prevent possible tracheal collapse. Gooby Comfort X Harness The Comfort X Harness provides a unique, choke free design that looks good and feels good. Gooby choke free X frame creates a V neck that is both functional and fashionable. The V neck opening eliminates the pull on the neck and distributes the force throughout the chest. Unlike nylon trimming, Synthetic lambskin trimming reduces irritation in case of any activity. Made with 100% polyester mesh, the harness dries up quickly when it’s wet. Sizing The Gooby Comfort X Harness comes in various sizes. Gooby Comfort X Harness is for small breeds, which means size large doesn"t necessarily mean it fits large dogs. It is very important to measure your dog before purchasing Gooby Comfort X Harness to fully take advantage of its choke free function. As shown above, measurement of the neck (base of the neck, where the harness should naturally rest) and the chest is required. Also please measure the size of your dog"s head to see if the opening can go over the head. Tracheal injuries are life threatening Why Gooby? The Gooby Harness, although similar in looks, differs significantly in functionality from other harnesses. Most harnesses have a look of a choke-free harness, but when pulled, fail to distribute the force around the neck because the lead is attached closely to the neck or the opening sits too closely around the neck. The Gooby harness is made of quality materials such as synthetic lambskin to improve comfort and style. All Gooby Harnesses are made so that they significantly reduce the force put on the trachea.
