Poor Quality – Poor quality Chinese made, not Australian like they say they are and slow delivery but quick to take your money. Emails sent and no reply. Don't trust this company
Scam dog harness – Scam scam scam, dont buy from this brand what you see is not what you get, I tried contacting them but no response, please save your money, I waited a month to get something that I couldn't even call a dog harness, they say australian made but it came from china, very poor quality don't get ripped off like I did. It's a scam!!!
Buckle broke after using the product only 3 times – I just received the nylon lead this morning the buckle snapped while my dog lunged when he saw a dog then ran across a busy road fortunately nothing happened but god forbid if it did. I have requested a refund I just hope the harness I purchased is of better quality. Not a very happy customer I have just slowly got my heart beat down from what I experienced this morning

The best harness I have ever purchased! – The best harness I have ever purchased! It's super durable and fits my Labrador perfectly. The reflective strips are a lifesaver for our evening walks. Highly recommend!

misleading and a very bad product - useless – Do not buy from this company. It should be minus zero star rating, not 1. Everyone should make a complaint to Fair Trade or ACCC asap to ensure they are no longer selling in Australia. The product is shipped from china and it’s not the same design or quality as advertised and on their website, and it took 22days for shipping. See my pics. The… Read more
front strap that go under the neck is not smooth material, but a rough Velcro (absolutely ridiculous) which will cause a bad irritation to your dog skins. The strap doesn’t even go under my dog’s neck, which will still cause choking and the strap is thin and not thick as advertised. The tag is too bid on the harness. The overall quality is so cheap, and you can probably find the same design on eBay for $10 shipped from china. Overall, the product is absolutely useless, due the Velcro material used on the front straps. It’s very rare that I would ever take the time to write a bad review unless it’s extremely bad and I am so angry about this. Lastly, they advertised as ‘Australia’s #1’ product, absolutely misleading and outrageous!!!
Misleading and Terrible Quality – This company is misleading it's customers by advertises that they are Australian owned and ship every online order from Sydney... so I thought why not and ordered two of the no pull harnesses. I was surprised to see an international visa fee in my bank account after I paid, and on top of that... my harnesses were shipped from China and needed 3… Read more
weeks to arrive, therefore I am still contemplating reporting them to the ACCC. I think I would have gone over it, and not mentioned it if the product would have been as good as advertised, but it isn't. The material is cheap and crap. The buckles on both of the harnesses are getting loose. Every time I walk her, I have to fastened the belt, before and during a walk, because the harness gets so loose that she could get easily out of it. And it can’t be that she’s pulling to strong, because she’s a 5-Month-old Cavoodle and under 5kg. I was thinking of getting a harness for my daughter’s dog once he’s fully grown, but NO WAY! This was unfortunately another purchase for the bin, I wouldn’t buy here ever again, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone either!
Worst Company – Ordered from this company only to find they ship from US & charged a fee off $1.50 small amount looked into shipping & its being shipped from China so much dishonesty about this company the next day asked to cancel order sent a message to paypal, was told by company refund request had bn sent to their refund dept.. but it's now 5th April & they are sending the items. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY

Wrong order sent – Ordered 2 in different colours for both dogs but same colour was sent . Emailed 3x now but no response . Wish I’d read the reviews about customer service first Have sent photos to prove as well
Don't use – Absolutely shocking l! Ordered 25 March still hasnt arrived even though it states shipping sent 3 to 4 days post order. Website states based in Queensland Actually based in China. Paypal case raised to cancel order
Don't purchase from Safe Harness – The harnesses are supposed to be of good Australian quality. Yet they come from China. It took 12 emails back and forth just to get a 60%refund. They don't fit the dog properly. When I asked to return product to Australian address. They conveniently say the Australian warehouse isn't available to post items back. Hence why they are a scam.
SCAM! – I wish I had read the reviews too. It seems so legitimate but it is NOT! As everyone said not Australian it ships from China and is crap quality. Also takes forever to come. Then on top doesn’t refund even when they have sent the wrong products. No 30 day money guarantee. They should be shut down!
DO NOT BUY – DO NOT BUY. The order does not arrive, they DELETE SOCIAL MEDIA COMMENTS. They send generic emails at 3am in the morning. NOT AUSTRALIAN company. They will not refund simply by saying “ Thanks for reaching out and letting us know. We truly apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please don't worry, our team is working hard to ship all the… Read more
orders as quickly as possible.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. ”

Clip broke within 6 weeks – Ordered 2 harnesses in Dec last year. One clip has broken on the chest strap within 6 weeks and it was hardly used. Service is appalling. They would not offer a refund. Avoid dealing with this company.
Poor quality – Arrived January 5 Stitching was coming apart on back by February 6. Said I am not eligible for return or replacement as it is outside the time frame. Not good enough
FAULTY WEAK PRODUCT – D buckle snapped off FIRST USE Contacted company, they said sorry, it's past the 30 days. Told me to take it to a tailor to get fixed. Big dog, highly stressful moment for teenager leading the dog. They thought they would be safe and have control. Dog broke Harness but was caught and brought home without drama.
Terrible customer service – I ordered three items and one item came in the wrong size. When I sent this information through I was told they had never got an order wrong. I asked to send the item back with tags and packaging and was told that this would be at Mt expense to return and then I would have to pay an additional postage fee on their behalf totalling an additional… Read more
$40 onto of what I ahve already spent. I ahve sent multiple emails with their final outcome only being 30% refund as they have never stuffed up am order. They have been extremely rude and not willing to refund the one item they have intact made an error on. Will never use this site again and have found another with better pricing ams great communication.
Faulty product – Please don’t make the same mistake as me and purchase one of these poor quality harnesses! It fitted my puppy perfectly at first, however, after a few minutes of walking the harness had loosened drastically. She’s a tiny dachshund pup, so it’s not as though she was pulling and stretching the harness. I’m glad I noticed before she slipped out. I… Read more
raised the issue with the company via email and they asked for a video showing the issue which I begrudgingly sent. Once received, the company said that, conveniently, they couldn’t “see any issues” with the harness and suggested that if I was unhappy with the quality of the buckles, I could “replace them at a local tailor shop”. They weren’t joking. They refused a refund and told me to fix their dodgy work at my own expense. Again, please don’t waste your time and money with this company.
Cheap rubbish don’t last 3 months clip breaks they don’t replace – Harness is no good for staffies Clips are cheap plastic not good for bigger dogs. They break
Why did I wait so long?? – This is miraculous! I have never used a harness and I was a little afraid to try. I have very strong bully breed. This harness could not be easier to get on and walking with it was a dream! Everyone needs one!! And I love the reflective material- a great walk AND safe!! So happy!!
Superb Dog Harness! – I am absolutely thrilled with this dog harness! It's incredibly durable, and the colors are fantastic. This harness is a game-changer if your dog tends to pull on the leash. The reflective strips on the front are a great safety feature for low-light walks. I highly recommend it!
Awesome dog harness!! – These harnesses are super durable and the colors are great! They are very helpful if your dog pulls on the leash. The reflective strips on the front make it easy for cars and other pedestrians to see you and your dog in low light. Highly recommend!

Would rate 0 if I could – Like every other review states, quality is terrible. I got given the wrong size and contacted them for the refund/exchange. I attached the photo of the wrong item in the initial email and they asked for proof that the size was wrong (tag of size clearly visible on the photo!) The worse thing is I thought the company was based in Australia.… Read more
Purchased 2 for $50 :'(. These aren't even worth $10. I should really have checked the reviews before buying.
One Star For Lying About Being Based In Australia – I wish I'd read these reviews before buying a harness from this company. Unfortunately I too got sucked in by the 'based in Australia' crap and their two for one offer. A few days after purchasing the harnesses I received an email telling me they'd been dispatched. They supplied me with a tracking number that indicated they weren't coming from a… Read more
warehouse in Australia, but from China. Yep! Sucked in yet again by a dodgy, dishonest company lying about being based in Australia.
Of course I've contacted them via email about their deception and haven't received a reply - no surpises there, I wasn't really expecting one. I might be wrong, but my instincts tell me I've made a very big mistake with this purchase....
EDIT: So I sent these ignorant [Content Removed] another email and received no reply. That's 3 attempts to get them to answer the question "why are these harnesses coming from CHINA when you say you're based in Australia?" The fact that they haven't answered me says pretty much everything. These are rude, ignorant and dishonest people and it will be a cold day in hell before I buy anything from them again.
For anyone looking for a truly decent harness - a harness that is well made, comfortable, safe, reasonably priced and sold in Australia with no gimmicky 'two for one' offers....go have a look at Dog Friendly Co. You will not be sorry.
Very poor quality – D ring broke, then handle broke had to loop leash around actual harness, dog had to stay like this and uncomfortable for 4 days as we were camping and dogs had to remain leashed whilst in caravan park. Emailed company and told outside of refund or return time (30 days) and would need to make a new purchase, informed company I definitely would not be doing that.
Very poor quality – Badly made with inferior clips, purchased 2 one the strap adjuster cracked after 5 weeks and told to get it repaired from the local "bag shop" and then no answer to anymore questions. Save your money and buy elsewhere, also sold under other brand names so be careful.
Appalling Customer Service and Money Hungry Company – Absolutely appalling company to deal with. Size chart is incorrect therefore products did not fit. Tried to charge me an additional $19.99 for a reprocessing fee as well as having to pay for the postage of the package to send back. They are also now not accepting my return because I can’t provide them tracking information therefore they don’t… Read more
consider the package returned even though it’s sitting in the warehouse. Don’t follow their terms and conditions and have stolen $120 off me. Worst customer service, don’t care about their customers at all considering they claim to be an “Australian Company” will not recommend this business to anyone!
so difficult to deal with – Received harnesses on time very happy about that but was also disappointed that it came from China Contacted via messenger that harness was too big 2 days later received a message wanting to know if I wanted to refund or exchange . was told i would have to pay postage there as well as 19.99 return . I have asked where I need to post too so as I… Read more
can get a quote from post office the whole process has taken 6 days and i still have not received an answer.
BIG RED FLAG – Have been waiting for over a month for.my order. Emailed and no reply. Tracking shows shipping from China while they claimed Australian made. Would NOT order had I known it's from China. Went check on their review and I wish I had seen these before placing the order. I'm going to report this and ordered my bank to recall the fund.
Terrible customer service, poor quality and shipping from China when postage says Aus Post – Horrible to deal with via email, they don't answer questions, just repeat the same thing over and over. Took almost a month to ship from China when at time of order it said Australia Post shipping (wouldn't have purchased had I known this). Poor quality, cheap materials, dodgy stitching that I don't expect to last long.
