Question
MY GRAND DAUGHTER JUST GOT A POT BELLIED PIG ABOUT 7 WKS.OLD.SHE WANTS A HARNESS FORM HER BUT HER NECK ISNT AS BIG AS SIZES INDICATE IT SHOULD BE.  WHERE CAN WE GET A HARNESS FOR A VERY SMALL PIG?

Answer
Pigs do best with a harness designed for pigs, that snaps over the back. Pigs and dogs have different shapes, and a harness shaped for a dog can easily slip off a pig. Also, pigs don't like to put their heads through the neck of a dog harness, a harness that snaps over the back eliminates this problem.

Pig harnesses are available from several pig sanctuaries, and the proceeds go to help pigs in need. They may have things not listed on the site, so if you don't see the size you need, send them an email
