Does Ray Allen Really Make a Better Small Dog Harness?

Did you hear the news? Ray Allen Manufacturing has expanded its range of durable, high-quality gear to cater to a new group of companions - small dogs.

We’ve long been known for our trusted equipment for K9s and large working dogs, and now Ray Allen has ventured into a unique and carefully designed line of small dog gear. This development ensures that those with smaller breeds, whether adventurous pets or small working dogs, have access to the same quality and functionality our products are known for.

Why Expand to Small Dog Gear?

Ray Allen has always focused on creating reliable, tactical gear for working dogs. However, as many working dog owners often have other dog breeds that may not fit the “large working dog” category, we saw an opportunity to broaden our range. This new line reflects our dedication to quality, strength, and design, now tailored for smaller-sized companions. Whether you have a Chihuahua, a mini Aussie, or even a small service animal, this gear is crafted to support them on every adventure.

Behind the Design: The Peak Series for Smaller Breeds

Our design team took a thoughtful approach when adapting existing harness models, like the MHU harness, for smaller dogs. One of the key materials in this line is Salute fabric, a high-grade and durable nylon that undergoes laser cutting for precision. This innovative process allows us to eliminate the need for additional binding, making the harness both comfortable and lightweight without compromising strength.

Strength in Structure

In crafting these smaller harnesses, we retained the same principles used in our large dog gear. For example, the MOLLE straps are tailored precisely to fit smaller harnesses, providing optimal strength. These straps are tacked with a specialized stitching method, ensuring durability that can withstand even the most active small dogs.

Moreover, by sewing each strap into itself, we create a unique structural integrity that’s typically reserved for larger harnesses. This means that each harness offers the same robust design as our larger models, pulling on webbing rather than just the fabric, which greatly increases durability and security.

Customizable Velcro for Accessories and Patches

The Peak Series harnesses feature Velcro attachments on both the top and underside. These attachments serve multiple functions:

• Underside Velcro: This Velcro section is designed to accommodate accessories, such as the Nomad underbelly attachment or a Woobie attachment. These options give pet owners flexibility to customize the harness based on their dog’s needs, whether for added protection or additional gear.
• Topside Velcro: Here, the Velcro allows for personal customization. Add morale patches, “Do Not Pet” signs, or even service dog identifiers. Our top Velcro is generously sized, ensuring that pet owners can easily add and swap patches as needed.

The meticulous X-pattern stitching on the Velcro prevents detachment, even under strenuous use, allowing patches to stay securely in place during adventures.

Final Assembly: Ready for the Outdoors

As a finishing touch, each harness is fitted with a strong V-ring attachment on the back, adding to the versatility and reliability of Peak by Ray Allen. This attachment, paired with our small-dog-specific design, ensures that each harness is ready to face outdoor adventures, from rugged terrain to daily training sessions.

The Ray Allen Promise of Quality

Our expansion into small dog gear remains faithful to the standards that Ray Allen has upheld for decades. Peak by Ray Allen is not simply a “scaled-down” version of our large dog products but a thoughtfully crafted solution for smaller dogs with active lifestyles. Each harness in this line is designed to offer the same strength, reliability, and adaptability as our existing products, just in a size suited for smaller breeds.

Whether you’re introducing your small companion to outdoor adventures or providing gear for a small working dog, Peak by Ray Allen is ready to meet the challenge with the same trusted quality Ray Allen is known for. Explore the options today and equip your small dog with the best in strength and durability.
