Do small animals need harnesses?

Small animals don't need harnesses, but leash walks with a harness can be a good way to get your pet some extra exercise. Small pet harnesses should fit snugly but not too tight, so be sure to choose the right size and adjust it properly. Take your time and properly acclimate your pet to wearing the harness and walking on the leash and don't force the issue if you pet seems overly fearful or stressed.

How do you put a harness on a small animal?

You put a harness on a small animal by starting slowly and rewarding good behavior with treats. For vest or H-style harnesses, lay the unbuckled harness over your pet's back and let him become accustomed to it. Then, slowly fasten the harness around your pet's chest and belly areas using the buckles or fuzzy fasteners. Adjust the harness so it fits just snugly enough that you can fit two fingers underneath.

What size carrier should I get for a small animal?

You should get a carrier in a size that allows just enough room for comfortable movement, standing and turning around. Small animal carriers should be a little roomy, but they should not be so big that the animal can be tossed around during transit. We include a helpful size guide with all our small pet carriers that lists dimensions and the small pet type each size will suit best.
