H Harness vs. Y Harness: Features and Differences
H-shaped and Y-shaped harnesses are becoming increasingly popular, but when it comes to deciding which one to wear, it all comes down to how it fits your pet. Let's explore a bit about these options and what makes them different.
Y-shaped harnesses have a special impact on the dog's sternum, so when it pulls or lunges, it applies pressure to avoid discomfort. One of the biggest advantages is that it clears the throat area. It's a versatile and comfortable accessory, so it's used for walking, sports activities, and training. You can find this type of harness in our Trail, Adjustable, and Reversible Harnesses.
H-shaped harnesses provide comfort and safety to our pets. They are called this because they have a shape similar to this letter. They are designed to distribute pressure around the dog's torso to prevent possible joint injuries. They seek to sit on the ribs, so the leash is placed in the middle of the back and leaves the rest of the body free. You can find this type of harness in our Classic Harnesses.
