Barkee

Barkee provides a size finder tool on the product page that gives a tailored recommendation, or shoppers can measure their dog's girth behind the front legs. Harnesses are fully adjustable and designed to fit snugly, allowing one finger between the strap and the dog's fur, with sizing up recommended for dogs between sizes.

The clasp is tested with large breeds up to 85kg to make sure it holds under lead tension, sitting locked in place until deliberately lifted, and it is fully waterproof for everyday walks in any weather. Barkee does still recommend removing the harness during rough play where the clasp could get caught or compressed.

The harness has a front chest ring that redirects a dog's forward motion to discourage pulling over time rather than acting as an instant fix. Some dogs respond from the first walk, while others need consistent use alongside good walking habits to see the full benefit.

The walkwear is made from durable nylon and polyester webbing with reinforced metal hardware, soft neoprene on handles for comfort, and reflective stitching for visibility. The webbing is left untreated deliberately, avoiding coatings that can crack or feel less breathable.

Many dogs do wear the harness off lead, but it is designed for walking, training and everyday use rather than as a containment device. Barkee recommends removing it in dense woodland, rough terrain or vigorous play where it could snag or twist.

Standard UK delivery takes 3 to 5 working days and is free on orders over £30, while express delivery costs £5 and takes 1 to 2 working days. Orders to Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and other remote areas may take an extra 1 to 2 working days, and dispatch itself can take a little longer during busy periods because items are personalised first.

Barkee accepts change-of-mind returns within 30 days of delivery, provided items are unused, unworn and in their original condition, and the customer pays for return postage. Personalised name tags can also be returned within the same 30-day window for a full refund.

Yes, Barkee offers free size exchanges within 30 days of delivery as long as items are unused, unwashed and in original condition. The customer covers the cost of returning the item but Barkee pays to send the replacement, and if a different name tag size is needed it is remade free of charge.

If a Barkee product develops a manufacturing fault, customers should get in touch within 30 days of noticing the issue with photographs and an order number. Confirmed faults are covered by a replacement, refund or store credit, with Barkee covering all reasonable return and replacement shipping costs.

Because personalised orders begin production quickly, changes or cancellations need to be requested as soon as possible by emailing support. Once the name tag production has started, amendments may not always be possible, though Barkee says it will try to help.
