Best dog harnesses Australia

Made from soft, breathable material, the Dog Friendly Co. Harness is ideal for sensitive dog's skin. Its breathability also makes it a good choice for any long or thick-haired dog who is at risk of overheating during the summer months.

The innovative one-strap design makes taking this harness on and off your dog incredibly easy. Simply slide their head through the hole, wrap the strap underneath, and click into place. This also makes it a great option for anyone who has struggled to get their dog into a harness before.

At the top of this harness you'll find a heavy-duty D-ring which acts as a leash attachment point. This is also super strong, so there's little chance of it tearing over time. And, to top it all off, you have the option to add a personalised patch with your dog's name on it - perfect if you have more than one dog in your home.

What do our experts say about the Dog Friendly Co. Harness?

This is a simple-to-use dog harness that is ideal for anyone looking for a heavy-duty yet no-frills option. We love that the one-strap design makes this harness so easy to put on and remove, and the D-ring on the back feels really secure while you're walking. The personalisation is a nice touch as well.

Where this dog harness falls down, however, is its waterproofing. It is made with chafe-resistant straps so there is less of a chance of chafing when your dog is dry, but we fear it may not be the case if you end up walking in the rain. Likewise, it could take a while to dry.

This dog harness would be a good choice for anyone who has struggled to get their dog into a harness before. The quick two-stage, one-strap design means you can get it on their body in just a couple of seconds. It's also a good choice for dogs that pull using their front legs as the chafe-resistant straps will help reduce any rubbing.

If your dog pulls when you walk them, the Fur King Ultimate No Pull Dog Harness could be the solution to your problem. It solves the problem of pulling by incorporating a front clip harness which physically prevents them from pulling and allows you to take back control of the walk.

It's also really well designed and is constructed from double-layered breathable material that allows airflow, even on warm days. The simple clip-fitting system and H-style make it easy to put on your dog and remove, and you also have the option to use the top leash attachment.

This is a great harness for night walks as well as it features reflective trim on each strap. The straps are also fully adjustable, allowing you to fit it perfectly for both your dog's safety and comfort.

We were really impressed with how the front leash attachment helped stop pulling almost immediately. Sure, it felt a little strange at first, but it really does help to take back control while walking. The classic H-style design makes it really easy to place and remove as well, and reflective trim helps ease any worries we had about walking at night.

The Fur King Ultimate No Pull Dog Harness pretty much does what it promises to. It's one of the best dog harnesses for anyone with a dog who pulls a lot during their walks.

It's also a good choice for night time walkies as it features a reflective strip and reflective stitching along the back. There's even a dedicated LED loop, giving you the option to attach an LED light with ease - perfect for those winter night walks. You can choose from 10 colours as well, so finding the perfect match for your dog's taste is easier than ever.

The Pelucci Harness is one of the more stylish-looking harnesses on our list. It's simple, sleek design takes away the bulkiness that most other harnesses have, making it a good choice for a dog who already walks well (or a dog walk in a particularly stylish neighbourhood!)

Of course, it isn't all about appearance. A dog harness needs to perform well too, and the Pelucci Harness does a pretty good job of that. First of all, it's made from lightweight Neoprene mesh which is both soft and tough. This ensures both comfort and durability.

It also has adjustable straps, quick-snap buckles for easy securing and release, and three different leash attachment points. You can choose from 9 different colours and 4 sizes too, so there's an option for any stylish pooch.

What do our experts say about the Pelucci Harness?

If you have a dog who is already used to walking in a harness and doesn't pull, and you want to add another harness to their collection of accessories, this is a great choice. There's no denying it's stylish and, while it may not have as many features as some of the other harnesses out there, sometimes it's nice just to give your dog a sleeker look (or have them match your own outfit!)

Who is the Pelucci Harness best for?

The Pelucci Harness is best for mature or well-behaved dogs who don't pull and simply need a nice harness for their daily walk. It would also be a great choice for anyone looking for a car harness, as it's lightweight and tough, making it comfortable enough to wear for long journeys.

The Kazoo Harness Active Bloom Burst is a simple yet functional dog harness. It isn't anywhere nearly as bulky as some harnesses, yet maintains a good level of durability through its nylon webbing, nickel-plated metal loops, and plastic hardware.

It is also a comfortable harness and features a padded section that won't rub against your dog's chest while they are wearing it. The two leash loops add an extra level of security as well as you need to use them both simultaneously to attach the leash correctly. This means that in the unlikely event one should give way, the other will still have a grasp on the leash.

This harness is available in 4 sizes, so there's an option for almost every dog breed, and you can also personalise for that extra finishing touch.

Key specifications & features

What do our experts say about the Kazoo Harness Active Bloom Burst?

At first glance, you don't think that this harness is going to perform all that well. It looks pretty flimsy and lightweight. But, we were pleasantly surprised at how durable it is! It also fits well and the padded chest plate is a really nice touch that ensures comfort throughout.

Who is the Kazoo Harness Active Bloom Burst best for?

The Kazoo Harness is probably going to be best for small dogs. While it is available in sizes that extend to extra large, there could be some concern about its durability on a large dog who pulls heavily (such as German shepherds). It would be a car harness for most dogs though, and the double leash attachments will keep your canine companion safe while they travel.

The Crash Tested Dog Harness Blue is potentially the best dog harness out there for anyone who travels a lot with their pooch pal. As you may have guessed from its name, this harness has undergone rigorous testing and has been crash test certified to 32kg.

You might think that such a harness is going to be bulky and weigh your dog's body down during use. But, some innovative construction has ensured that this is as comfortable as it is safe. The lightweight, breathable fabric promotes airflow (essential in a car harness) while the use of plastic over metal to make the clips ensures your dog's skin is protected on a hot day.

There are attachment points for your dog's leash on both the front and the top of the harness too, so when it's time to disembark (or should that be disem-"bark"?) you have control over pulling should you need it.

Think of this as a seatbelt for your dog. It's an excellent, affordable harness that is perfect for car rides and something that any dog owner who takes their dog with them on long journeys needs in their life.

It isn't exclusively designed for car use, though. While the crash tested design gives you a great peace of mind for travelling, it's equally as good as a walking harness.

Who is the Crash Tested Dog Harness best for?

The Crash Tested Dog Harness is one of the best dog harness options out there for anyone who needs a strong, reliable harness for car journeys.

What do our experts say about the Rogz Utility Step-In Harness?

Some dogs, particularly flat faced dogs, cannot bear having anything place over their heads. This harness solves this issue without any drama. Sure, it's a little simplistic compared to others, but it's design really does help with removing the stress of convincing your dog to insert their head through a neck opening.

That being said, as a back clip harness, you are limited on your attachment point options so it may not be a good choice for dogs who pull. It may, however, be a good option for service dogs - especially with its reflective webbing.

This is a great harness for any dog who needs to have the pressure taken off their neck while they walk. Likewise, if your dog hates having things placed over their head, that stress is removed.

What do our experts say about the Fuzzyard Dog Step-In Harness?

We love the character this harness has. It really stands out from the crowd in a landscape filled with block colours and simply black straps. We were also really impressed with its triple security system and loved that it can be machine washed.

If there is one downside, however, it's that the straps aren't adjustable. While it is available in six sizes, should your dog gain any weight it'll soon find this harness a bit snug. On the same line, it's probably not a good long-term option for a puppy - a small dog will grow!

Who is the Fuzzyard Dog Step-In Harness best for?

This harness would be best for a fully grown dog whose owner is looking for something with a bit of character to it. It would also suit a dog who already walks well on a leash, as there isn't a choice of attachment points.

If your dog is prone to overheating, this Quality Breathable Mesh Nylon Dog Harness would be a good option as the entire underside is made from a high quality nylon that is dotted with hundreds of air vents holes.

We were really impressed with how breathable this harness is, especially on a warm day. It felt strong as well, despite being so light in weight, and the straps were easy to adjust for easy fitting.

Like many back clip harnesses, however, there isn't a choice of multiple attachment points so it may not be suitable for dogs who pull. It is also worth noting that the neck strap is not adjustable, so you need to make sure you've got your measurements right before you purchase.
