Compromise between what’s ideal and what’s possible is an every day reality for people suffering with arthritis and/or limited mobility in their hands. Little things that most people
take for granted require extra thought and planning.
Even a little thing – your dog’s harness – can cause problems. Pinch clasps are prevalent, but impossible for many people.
No-pinch options
Fortunately, there are options. Harnesses that don’t require hand strength or agility, that are easy-on, easy-off, and keep your dog safe and secure.
One of the best choices is the Wrap-n-Go Harness, secured with industrial-strength hook-and-loop closures. The Wrap-n-Go has the added advantage of being escape-resistant,
for those little dogs who love to back out of their harnesses. This halter only requires that you place it on the dog’s back, then smooth the neck and tummy straps closed. That’s all
there is to it. Hook up a leash and you’re ready for any outing.
The EZ Harness is soft – both the people part (the leash handle) and the dog part (the harness) are lined with fleece. A simple slider closes secures it on the dog – a perfect fit every time.
The simplest harness of all is the Choke-Free Shoulder Collar. It not only prevents choking problems, it secures with end-over-end flaps closed with hook-and-loop closures and locks into place when you attach the leash.
Even for people with arthritis in their hands, taking your dog for a walk can be one of the joys of dog ownership.
