Chihuahuas: how to choose the perfect harness and collar for them
Chihuahuas have a unique body type: small bones, narrow chest, and fragile neck. Choosing a suitable harness or collar is essential for their comfort and safety.
In this article, we will guide you through selecting the XXS soft harness and XS collar, and using the Frenchtoutou size guide to ensure that everything fits your little companion perfectly.
Why Chihuahuas need specific accessories
Chihuahuas are not like other small dogs:
Fragile bone structure: avoid accessories that are too tight or heavy.
Miniature size: standard products are often too large.
Injury prevention: the harness or collar must protect the neck and back.
An ill-fitting harness or collar can cause pain or strain on the spine and joints.

The XXS soft harness is specially designed for small dogs:
Lightweight and comfortable, it does not restrict movement
Adjustable for a perfect fit on narrow chests

The XS collar: when a harness isn't necessary
In certain situations, the XS collar is an excellent alternative:
Lightweight and designed for slender necks
Ideal for calm dogs or for identification purposes
Perfect for short walks or as a complement to a harness
Practical tip: the measuring guide can also be used to accurately measure your Chihuahua's neck, so you can choose an XS collar that is neither too tight nor too loose.
Practical tips for Chihuahuas to ensure comfort and safety:
Always measure your dog before purchasing.
Check that the harness or collar is not too tight.
Choose lightweight accessories to avoid tension.
Alternate between a harness and a collar depending on the activity and length of the walk.
Chihuahuas enjoy short, regular walks. A good fit helps prevent stress and injury.
Why the measurement guide is essential
The Frenchtoutou measurement guide is designed so that you can:
Take the correct chest and neck measurements.
Choose the ideal product first time.
Avoid unnecessary returns or exchanges.
This means that every harness or collar you buy is tailored to your Chihuahua's body shape, ensuring comfortable and safe walks.
