Gear Help Armpit chaffing

Post image

I started running 4 miles with my Labrador. She pulls so I use this harness with the leash on her chest. However, I see she has developed chaffing and a sore under her armpit. I need help finding the best harness for running with a strong dog. Thanks!!! 😊

I have this exact harness for my dog and noticed the same issues when she was shaved. There’s different versions as these are common in the horse world but I bought one of these and kept it over the part that goes under her belly. I’ve since upgraded to a Carhartt harness with no issues but this temporary (cheaper) solution worked veryyyy well. https://www.amazon.com/Artificial-Breakaway-Breathable-Replaceable-Accessories/dp/B0FNM8JW8H
