Why Small Dogs Need Big Support: Rethinking Harnesses for Petite Pups 🦴

🐾 Small Pup, Big Needs

Let’s bust a myth: small dogs don’t need heavy-duty harnesses.

Actually? They need them more than you think.

Small breeds are prone to:

  • Trachea sensitivity

  • Escaping collars

  • Overheating

  • Anxiety in crowded places

  • Being underestimated in strength (hello, Frenchie power pulls)

Choosing a secure, breathable, and easy-to-use harness makes walks safer, smoother, and more enjoyable—for both of you.

🔍 Why Collars Alone Aren’t Enough for Small Dogs

While collars are great for ID tags, they’re not ideal for walking—especially for small breeds.

Here’s why:

  • 🦴 Collars can put pressure on the trachea and lead to coughing or long-term damage

  • 🏃♀️ Small dogs often dart or pull suddenly—harnesses give more control

  • 🐕 Harnesses distribute force more evenly across the body, reducing injury risk

Bottom line: small dogs deserve protection designed just for them.


✨ Signs Your Small Dog Needs a Harness Upgrade

If your current gear:

  • Twists during walks

  • Makes your pup back out or escape

  • Rubs or irritates their skin

  • Causes choking, coughing, or wheezing

  • Makes them freeze or resist getting dressed

…it’s time for a SoHo switch.


🎯 Designed for the Smallest Strutters

The SoHo Harness is ideal for dogs under 25 lbs, including:

  • French Bulldogs

  • Yorkies

  • Pomeranians

  • Maltipoos

  • Dachshunds

  • Cavaliers

  • Chihuahuas
    …and all the little fashionistas in between.

Bonus: Its featherlight build keeps pups cool and comfy—even in warm weather.
