Frequently asked questions

Every piece is thoughtfully made by our senior husband-and-wife team using durable polypropylene webbing wrapped in soft, vibrant cotton fabric. Whether your pup is a teacup or extra-large, we are here to make sure they get a comfortable, secure fit.

What is the best way to measure my dog for a harness or collar?
Use a soft tape measure and measure around your dog's neck for the correct collar size. For a harness, measure your dog's girth around the widest part of their chest and note their current weight. Our harnesses are fully adjustable from teacup sizes all the way to extra-large.

How do custom orders work, and how do I pick fabrics?
When you want a custom order, you can call and speak with us directly to discuss your pet's exact needs. Colors and patterns are always your choice, though we often recommend brighter colors and vibrant patterns because they stand out beautifully on dark-colored dogs.

What sizes do your harnesses and collars come in?
We make gear for dogs of all proportions, ranging in sizes from teacup to extra-large. Because each harness is fully adjustable, you can achieve a secure and comfortable fit for your companion.

What materials are used to make Love and Leashes petwear?
Each harness, collar, and leash is crafted using strong, reliable polypropylene webbing that is wrapped in comfortable, decorative 100% cotton fabric to prevent chafing while keeping your dog stylish.

How should I wash and care for the cotton-covered gear?
Caring for your items is simple: wash in cold water either by machine on a gentle cycle or by hand, and then lay them flat to air dry. This keeps the colors bright and preserves the integrity of the webbing.

How long does it typically take to make and ship an order?
Even though every item is handmade by the two of us, it only takes one day to make your order, and we ship it out on the very next day.

Where are your dog harnesses and leashes made?

All of our products are designed, cut, and sewn with love in our home workshop located in Erwin, North Carolina, United States.
