Wilder Dog | Dog Harness

Worth it? Yes

TL;DR

The Wilder Dog harness is a stylish and durable everyday harness with a top handle, ideal for city dogs who use public transport or need occasional lifting. It is straightforward to put on and has held up well after a year of use. The mesh padding can retain odor if not dried quickly after getting wet. Pricey but a second hand option is available directly from Wilder Dog.

We got this harness when Abby was a puppy. The main selling point for us was the top handle, which we find really useful on public transport or in situations where we need to lift her quickly. It also features two e-coated iron D-ring attachment points for leash clipping.

How Abby uses it Abby wears it on longer day trips and outings.

What we like The harness is stylish and very straightforward to put on. Beyond looks, it has proven to be genuinely durable. After a year of regular use there is no tearing or visible wear.

What we don't like The breathable mesh padding is comfortable but can work against you when it gets wet. If Abby wears it in the rain or goes for a swim and it is not washed and dried promptly, the damp smell can be difficult to get rid of. Not a dealbreaker but worth knowing.

It is also on the pricier side. That said, Wilder Dog does offer a second hand option at a lower price if you want to save some money.
