Finding the best dog harness in the UK is a priority for every dog owner. You need a tool that stops pulling, fits perfectly, and—most importantly—is easy to put on.
At Barkridges®, we don’t just follow trends; we set them. Barkridges® was the first company to introduce the neck buckle to the dog harness market with our original Triple Buckle design. This revolution completely removed the stressful "over-the-head" routine for dogs and owners alike.
Today, we’ve evolved that pioneering spirit into two high-performance models: the trusted TruFit Comfort and our newly launched TruFit Freedom.
The Barkridges® Standard: Innovation in Every Stitch
Whether you choose the TruFit Comfort or the new TruFit Freedom, you are investing in a no-pull dog harness built with the DNA of our original Triple Buckle harness:
The Original Neck Buckle Solution: We pioneered the "no-overhead" design. Both models feature quick-release buckles at the neck, so you can clip the harness on without distressing your dog.
Industrial-Grade Webbing: Both models utilize high-tensile performance straps. Our standard 25mm webbing is tested to a breaking strength of 680kg.
Dual-Clip Control: A front D-ring for no-pull training and a back clip for relaxed walks.
Integrated Safety Features: Every harness includes a secure, built-in pocket for GPS trackers (like AirTags) and 360° reflective trim for dark UK winter "walkies."
1. TruFit Comfort: The Trusted Classic
Ideal for: Steady walkers, senior dogs, and owners who want a soft, padded dog harness.
The direct evolution of our Triple Buckle, the TruFit Comfort is our most established design. It takes the ease of the original and adds bespoke ergonomics.
Two-Size Chest Support: We offer Regular Fit and Deep Fit options to ensure the girth strap never chafes the delicate area behind your dog's front legs.
Biomechanical Neck Angle: Engineered with a specific 130° angle to ensure straps sit clear of the shoulder joints, maximizing natural movement.
Supportive Stability: Broad chest and back plates provide a "hug-like" feel, dispersing pressure evenly across the body.
2. TruFit Freedom: The New High-Performance Innovation
Ideal for: High-energy dogs, heavy pullers, and deep-chested athletic breeds.
The TruFit Freedom is our latest evolution. While it shares the high-strength DNA and neck-buckle ease of the Comfort, it is engineered for dogs that need even more athletic agility.
Proportional Strength Straps: The Freedom is built for power. While the Comfort uses 25mm straps for larger sizes, the Freedom scales up to 38mm straps for XL sizes to handle the UK's most powerful breeds.
Natural Gait Alignment: Featuring a flexible neck pivot and a sleek Y-shape design, the Freedom offers the most unrestricted range of motion of any harness we’ve ever built.
5-Point Precision Fit: An extra adjustment point makes this a truly escape-proof dog harness for "Houdini" breeds with unique proportions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the neck buckle so important? A: Many dogs find harnesses being pulled over their heads stressful. As the first company to bring the neck buckle to market, we’ve ensured that the "gearing up" process is calm and positive. Our current models even allow you to clip from either the left or right side for extra convenience!
Q: Which harness is stronger for a very large dog? A: Both are incredibly secure, but our new TruFit Freedom is engineered for maximum load in larger sizes. Because the straps scale up to 38mm on our XL model, it offers a higher breaking strength than the standard 25mm straps used on the Comfort.
Q: Does the Freedom fit differently than the Comfort? A: Yes. The Freedom features a 5th adjustment point making it highly customisable for athletic builds.
