Harness’s for skinny pigs
Picking the right harness can be intimidating. There is a large selection of sizes and styles. We will cover fit and style. We hope this will help guide our clients in picking the right harness for their hairless friend.
Style is important. A collar and lead like you would use on a dog is not sufficient for small animals like skinny pigs. If you use a collar and it’s to tight they will chock themselves by pulling to hard or if the collar is loose they will just slip out of it and dash off. A Harness that loops both around the neck and body are much safer and easier to use.
The skinny pig will be leading you not you walking the skinny pig so leash length and style is also important it should be long enough to reach the ground and give the the ability to walk a couple of feet away from you. Leashes that are to long can allow your skinny pig to wonder to faraway A retractable leash it to strong for a skinny pigs and can jerk them off their feet.
Size and fit is important you want the harness to be snug enough that the pig will not get tangled in it. I like to make sure I can easily fit my pinkie finger between the skin and collar that way it is not tight.

The comfort harness for small animals
We use this one and the Velcro makes it’s easy to put on but you have to connect the clips if you want to walk them safely out doors. The color mostly Pink which can put some boys off of using it. The leash is comfortable and is elastic so it will stretch as your skinny pig walks around but is not to long so the won’t get tangled. We like this one best over all.
