Switchbak™ Dog Harness

harness with pockets

Color

Selected: Granite Gray

The Switchbak Harness has the padded comfort of an everyday dog harness with handle, plus the bonus functionality carrying small essentials. The two low-profile zippered pockets have room to stash those day-to-day necessities like pick-up bags, a leash, or some treats.

It features two leash attachment options: a V-ring centered on the back and a reinforced webbing loop at the chest, great for redirecting dogs that pull on leash. Dial in the right fit with high adjustability and a padded belly strap - critical for stable gear carry and when giving a little boost with the low-profile handle. All in all, the Switchbak melds comfort and convenience into a performance harness ready for both town and trail.

    Great!

    I'm really happy with this harness. It fits my whippet well and the third strap gives added security. The side pockets are small but work for us. I also like the handle and the top loop for the leash. Overall very happy with this purchase.

    nice little harness/pack

    just got it in the mail last night - fits pretty good - just looks a bit small but then again she is a 19.5" border collie... she ran around the house and didn't mind it being on... fits snug no sliding around on her back... had order a med. originally but too big - she didn't like it... so returned for a small - fast shipping no hassles!!! I have a LOT of ruffwear harnesses collars that fit all my old dogs - too big for her!!! red looks great on a little black/white border collie!!! she now looks like a 'lady bug'! LOL

    thank you Ruffwear!!

    Very nice doggie pack!

    Great quality! Our golden doodle got lots of compliments carrying her stuff in her new harness. We bought two little water pouches, one on each side, also collapsible bowl, poop bags, she is all set for a hike! It's a perfect harness! 👍

    BEST HARNESS EVER

    Arlo and I LOVE this harness! We’ve tried countless styles of harnesses that have attachable bags but they all slid to one side, unclip, and rub… but not this harness! It’s sleek (and comes in the most beautiful color blue!) I love how to buckles are “hidden” to prevent rubbing against Arlo’s very sensitive skin! This bag will be perfect for our 7 week hiking trip for Arlo to carry his snacks and water bowl!
