Hi SM family,

I Just got Boo a jacket and was wondering If the harness should be under the jacket or ontop. I went for a walk with him with it under since the pet store said it was fine.. What do you guys think?

I have a step in harness and I put it over his sweater, not sure about a coat.

A lot of the coats and sweaters have a hole where the harness and leash will attach. Harness under if the clothes have the hole.

The coat I have for Sophie has a little hole for the harness loops, I personally like the look better when the harness is underneath.

Yogi Has Alot of coats,but does not go out in the winter with a harness. He Gets carried-so iam no help!--I do USE A Vest style harness the rest of the year.--I Put on his coats to go to the vets and let him on the porch-but that has be awhile-with the snow--he hates it. will not walk in it at all.-----

Check him out-he just woke up.

I'm too lazy to take his little sweater off to put his harness on to put his sweater back on, so his harness is usually over.

I usually put the harnesses under things...

Except tshirts - those I put the harness over.

But bulkier things - sweaters, jackets - I put the harness under.

I have this odd fear that they will be able to slip out because of the added bulk... Especially Grace. She slips right out of her sweaters.

I put Mia's step in harness over her sweater...the sweater doesn't have any openings on the top for the leash clips.
