3 Greg  · Greg.d – It’s okay but only worth half the price. Quality not high as they say
5 marinlad2518  · Great harness – Very good service and good quality harness and collar! Would recommend to anyone.
1 Robyn  · Tacky and cheap looking – I thought I was purchasing an Australian product but it was shipped from China. Collar is bulky and size terrible.
1 Mick R.  · not even in Australia – not even an Australian company yet website is .au so misleading I doubt the product will be any good either now

Purchased the collar after our dog ran away (he’s home safe now) so decided to get a custom collar made in case he decides to run away again so whoever finds him will be able to contact myself or my partner. Great quality and fits perfect. Really, really happy with our purchase and was delivered within a week. Show reply

They are a scam. They purchase directly from sites such as Temu, then flog the price up + $100- Do your homework people, there are more scammers than ever out here today. 1 photo provided to aid in your information seeking.

True Love No pull harness - what an amazing product – I simply cannot believe how well this product works. I am about to buy another one. Very well made, very simple to get on and off. When I first bought it I was new to harnesses and thought it to seem a bit expensive but now I get it. You truly do get what you pay for with this sort of equipment. Show reply

Escape Proof Double H Waterproof dog harness – We really like the colour and the secured harness with 5 clips and 3 adjustable straps. It gives that extra snugness and our dog cannot wriggle out of it even if he suddenly bolts compared to other harnesses we have tried. We think he feels safer with the extra 3rd strap around his body. He has bolted few times before when he gets alarmed by… Read more ·  1

noises or feels nervous, with this harness he can't break free. Therefore, helps us control him better. Definitely escape proof and good for the dog's safety

Contains the biggest of ratbags – She may look like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, but this little girl is the biggest of ratbags. She has houdini-ed her way out of several harnesses until we found this one. Not only can she not get out of it to go chase cows, it seems to give her a greater sense of security and we've noticed she is walking a lot better with this harness on.… Read more

It seems to have a calming effect. I would highly recommend this harness for the Houdini in your life. Esther is modelling a size medium.

Escape is not an option – Our beagle backed out of collars and harnesses easily. This new harness has her bamboozled. She was actually seen turning and pulling in an attempt to get out and couldn’t manage it. Fantastic result and totally recommend! Show reply

Better late than never – Initially my personalised dog tag was nowhere to be found after several weeks. Unable to call anyone I complained about the lack of delivery I then received an email from a lovely man who then advised me they didn’t deliver to parcel lockers . Would’ve been helpful to know in the first place.Anyway he apologised and sent another to my apartment… Read more

address. It is a nice tag but slightly heavy compared to others. Never less the company needs to get their delivery address sorted out

No escape! – I have tried 4 different harnesses for my 46kg baby and finally I can feel secure walking him. He has managed to back out of every other harness except this one. Can even say hello to the kangaroos without stress. This harness has been a life saver and now I actually enjoy walks with my boy.

Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! Misleading Business – Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! Misleading Business, "Says 100% Australian business based in South Sydney" But all products come from from China/Alibaba/Aliexpress/Temu for up to 5 times to cost of what you pay if you brought it from china direct Quality of the products are not worth the price paid and delivery time can take up to 2+ weeks and because it… Read more

comes direct for the supplier the order can be incorrect and will have to wait even longer to get the correct order

No quality control at all

All the reviews on the Website are Internal and only show positive reviews never anything negative, external review sites show a better picture

The Owner of the business has no customer service skills and blames all his customer's for being misled and will not offer any support and will say the say generic information he does to everyone instead of taking ownership

If you going to spend the $$$ go support an actual Austalian Business with Australia Made Stuff or Save your $$$ and just buy it direct from China

Sent from [Content Removed] – Wouldn’t order from Dog Nation again Site is totally misleading I thought I was supporting an Australian business Next time I’ll just get it from Temu myself for a fraction of the price We all know everything comes from [Content Removed], but you couldn’t hold stock in Australia and send it out? That’s embarrassing I should have looked further into it and found an actual business in Australia to engrave the collar and spent the money here

Chinese product from '100% Australian business' – The store claims to be based in Sydney and is '100% Australian business.' I have now been waiting 2 weeks for the dog collar I ordered as the tracking shows it is coming from China. They have also not responded to the email I sent querying the delay. Misleading.

Product is not at all practical/suitable! – I purchased a small and medium collar with engraving. They look lovely and are well made... however are super heavy (think 4x that of a normal collar), make a clunking sound at the metal clasp site and bulge at the site to adjust size. I have a small and medium size dogs and both collars are outrageously bulky and impractical on both. Expect shipping to take 1.5 weeks.

What a great harness! – So our Golden Retriever puppy was a bit of a master of the back out of the harness or threaten to do so! This harness is well thought out, easy and quick to put on after a little practice is very secure and offers great walking control with top and front lead clip points. Couldn’t be happier. The only suggestion I would make I that the straps… Read more

offered a little more extension for a given size however I will happily get the next size up when the time comes!

People cannot see the engravings on the small collars – Out beautiful and very loved two Miniature Schnauzers got out twice today while we were out. Returned once by neighbours who knew who where they lived. Thank you. It was the second gate that was open and they got out again. The second lady who found them the second time posted on Facebook the dogs were with her, and noted they had no tags or phone… Read more

numbers.- But there was - the engravings did not stand out at all - twice. The collars with their names and our phone numbers have proven themselves to be a waste of money, pretty much a con. Tomorrow we will go and get engraved tags to replace the collars bought to do job - return our very loved dogs to us should they get out from our yard.

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE! – If I could give this company a no star rating I would! I purchased a pull proof harness for my shar pei and unfortunately I ordered the wrong size. I was told if the harness was in new condition they would give me a refund. Within a few days of receiving this harness I went up to my local post office to return it In new condition, original tags… Read more

attached, wrapped back up in the original package. I waited a week to ask how long the refund would take. I received a reply and said the harness wasn’t in new condition, it had fur on it. Oh wait aren’t I allowed to try it on my dog to see if it actually fits what a joke!!!! I got a reply and they confirmed the fur isn’t an issue. The fur could of been brushed off shar peis are short hair dogs!!! Then they told me there is a stain on the harness. I’m sorry but there was no stain when it left me. I am a returned customer since I also purchased the right size and still they did not want to give me a refund. So I asked for them to return it back to me where I can sell it myself !!! I checked out the stain and it was a tiny little mark on it NOT a stain prob from someone who worked in the warehouse with dirty fingers becoz I simply brushed it off!!! It’s a real shame product is fantastic but bad customer service !!!

Dog harness – Purchased a harness in the largest size, unfortunately its not large enough for my German shepherd of standard size, so requested refund and they are not interested in assisting, rather questioning the armaments of my dog, insinuating i am not capable of assessing the fitment of a harness to an animal?

Terrible, cheap product for top dollar – Bought two leather dog leashes. Clearly cheap, Chinese crap. The leather is cracked and frayed after only a few months but the worst part is that they keep leaking some kind of brown tannin that stains any clothing that touches them. I've tried to soak and rinse them several times, but they still stain clothes and hands that hold them. Cheap, cheap rubbish, that is met with the worst customer service when addressed.

Delivered from China – I wish I had read the reviews on here first. I paid a lot of money for a dual dog leash thinking it was an Australian product, and when I looked at the tracking it was coming from distribution centre in China. Very sneaky, and the reason for the delays in shipping. I would prefer to spend my money here and get a product ASAP.

Perfect harness – After reading some of the comments on here I nearly went somewhere else, so very glad I didn't. I got the harness in 4 days, so opposite to the comments on here. The harness fits perfect on my amstaff she looks adorable and the quality is amazing. So happy I didn't go elsewhere. Would highly recommend this place.

Terrible service – When I told Dog Nation that the confirmation showed a different product than the one I ordered, shortly after I ordered it they said it was my own fault. It's my fault their website doesn't work properly? I was then told it might take up to a month for delivery. They did offer me a $5 discount for the inconvenience. Not much help when I've paid over $50 for a product I don't want.

Adventurer No Pull Dog Harness met expectations – I found out about this particular harness after reading a bunch of articles online and trying to find the appropriate harness type/brand for my pup. I too was surprised to learn that Dog Nation didn't maintain stock in Australia, and had to endure a longer than expected wait for the goods to arrive - but arrive they did. I bought my first harness… Read more

for my puppy around the time that I first got him in March 2021, knowing full well it wouldn't last long (actually, the Medium size I bought was too big, but I wasn't going to spend more money than was necessary). He used it for about 3 months before upgrading to the Large, which he used for about the next 5 or so months, and he's now had to start using the Extra Large size. I wash it, on average, about once a month (he loves playing in the mud, and whilst most of it dusts off once its dry, I prefer to wash it to make sure its clean and gets any bad doggy smells out whenever he has a bath too). I just pop it in the washing machine in a delicates bag, with the clips all clipped together, with a gentle detergent, and let it dry out of direct sunlight. My dog wears the harness when he goes for walks longer than a few hundred metres, and to also strap him into the car. Basically, whenever I pick up the harness, he knows he's going on an adventure! I love the variety of colours, but was disappointed by the black edging on the red coloured one, so opted for other colours. And the colours I ended up purchasing were also influenced by stock availability, as my first preference in some instances wasn't available. When walking my dog, I hook the lead onto the front hook, and loop the lead through the handle on the back of the harness, over my dogs right shoulder, to prevent the lead getting in his way. I've had much more success in managing his pulling by doing this, as opposed to just connecting the lead to the hook on the back of the harness. Though it is, still a work in progress for us! I've also used the LED light clip a couple of times, for some night time walks in the field... and it doesn't seem to bother him, to have a light flashing on his back - but it does help me know where he is. This harness just seems to have a well thought out design.

Great collar and customer service – I ordered a collar for Mini Aussie Shepherd. When it arrived the name looked more like Bamey that Barney. I got in touch and was advised that maybe capital letters may work better. The company sent out a new collar in Capitals and it’s perfect. Greta quality, beautiful design and great company to work with. Thank you! Show reply

Worth every cent! – Amazing escape proof harness that I can’t fault other than the back metal fastener would be easier if it was a clip. I feel 100% happy that my dog won’t slip out!

Adventurer no pull harness - highly recommended – Sturdy yet pliable, comfy for the dog, easy to slip in/out of, streamlined and strong. Good control. Excellent harness all round and equally excellent customer service. Definitely recommended.

Great fit for an ex-racer greyhound! – I am so pleased with this harness! It is strong, well-made, high quality metal buckles and trims and highly adjustable. Our large boy is approx 35kg and wears an XL harness. My greyhound is safe and well-controlled in this escape-proof harness. Thank you so much! Show reply
