Dog Harness for a goat?

[Greendecember]

Have you ever used a dog Harness for a goat? Nothing at the feed store fits her little kid face and I need a way to restrain her and walk her.

EDIT:
The more I think about it it wouldn't be good for their stomachs would it?

dog packs are made for dogs and goats and dogs are built alot different. dog packs sit up on a goats shoulders. which is bad for the goat. if you are into packing you might want to check out packgoatforum.com i'm on there and it is extremely helpful.
good luck!

Thanks but I just meant for leading / walking them. Not packs.

I used a dog harness for my buckling togg. He was a bottle baby. It was so much more gentle than a collar on him. When he grew out of his crazy baby stage...he graduated to a collar.

The harnes didn't ride too low on his rumen? That was I was concerned about. I should just take my doeling into PetSmart and try one on her LOL I bet that isn't something they see every day

PS Her daddy was either a Togg or a Pygmy. Crazy combo huh? She looks like a Pygmy. Her HUGE Twin brother looks like a Tog. Mom is a Pygmy / Boer cross. They are the cuttest mutts EVER though (No I didn't breed them that way. I bought Mom not knowing she was breed)

Nope. It fit him right around his ribcage. It's not like you'll be lifting him up with it. Picture him pulling fwd against a neck collar. With a harness the weight was distributed across his chest and shoulders.

I would not hesitate to take her to Petsmart for a fitting...that sounds like a fun trip

I used a dog harness when I had to take Snickers to the vet. Worked fine...but I had to wash it after because I borrowed it from my basenji and he wasn't too pleased with the goat smell on HIS harness!
