Faster Harness by Zero DC
Please read before you buy!
These are great harnesses, however they are not readily available.
Zero DC is a small business and orders are put into production as orders arrive.
They do not keep stock. They have no inventory.
I do try to keep a very limited stock here at Sirius as well as one of each size for fitting purposes.
I do not make a profit from being a distributor. I do not receive refunds or exchanges from Zero DC.
If you buy a harness and it doesn't fit your dog, I can try to resell it for you or exchange it from my small stock if possible.
Delivery time runs from 3 to 8 weeks after I order from Zero DC.
It was even longer during the worst of the Covid pandemic, but recently I'm getting harnesses in about 3-4 weeks. In addition to this lead time, I cannot place an order with less than 10 harnesses so your order will not be placed until I have a total order of 10 or more. The shipping costs are astronomical.
Please order directly from Zero DC via their website below if this is not acceptable to you.

If you would like to try the Faster harnesses on your dogs, I have a complete set of stock sizes for the Faster harness as that was my initial interest when looking for harnesses to fit my freighting husky lines.
These are the first harnesses I've found that fit properly so that my dogs do not have harness rub.
The harness design allows for freedom of movement without pressure on the shoulder blades or spine.
See the side, top and front view photos below.
Zero harness rub on every dog with a proper fitting Faster harness from Zero DC!
I ordered custom sizes for some of my biggest and harder to fit dogs and that is taking some adjustments in some cases. They are accustomed to making harnesses for racing dogs and I don't think they really believe some of the measurements I send them...
Go to the Shop Zero DC Faster Harness page to order now or take a look at the website linked above to see the entire product line that is available.
The photos below show the difference harness fits recommended for
Freighting sled dogs and Racing sled dogs -

Ursa is a Freighting sled dog in a correct fit.
For Freighting sled dogs - I've found the harness needs to fit as pictured above,
otherwise it cuts into their windpipe.

Note the logo is centered on her pro sternum.
For Racing dogs - use the regular recommendations published by Zero DC.

Gibran is a Freighting sled dog pictured in an incorrect fit for the chest.
It is too small and rides too high cutting the wind and causing slippage to the side.

The harness back is totally open. No pressure on the shoulder blades or the back.

It's my understanding that this fit is best for racing dogs because the 'collared' fit allows for total freedom of the shoulder, reducing the chances of shoulder injury.
It doesn't need to be centered on the
pro sternum since Racing dogs aren't pulling heavy loads as Freighting dogs need to do.
