The First Day of the JK9 Pet Laser Team at the Budapest Zoo & Botanical Garden
We are excited to share that Dr. Endre Sós, Director General of the Budapest Zoo & Botanical Garden, will be treating several injured animals brought in by passersby.
Does a Y-Harness or a Collar Restrict a Dog’s Breathing More?
Harnesses became widely used precisely because animal welfare guidelines spoke out against collars that can choke a dog and against improper usage. However, it can be stated that collar use does not generally place a heavy burden on a dog’s cervical nerves or trachea.
Julius-K9 – dog health first
When consumers ask which Julius-K9 harness best supports a dog’s health, we can only give an accurate answer if the dog’s activity level and overall health are known.
Health-Conscious Dog Harness Development
For 30 years, Julius-K9 has been developing and testing chest and Y-harnesses. From the very beginning, the brand’s goal has been to create the best and most comfortable harness possible.
Chest Harness or Y-Harness?
Experience shows that the Y-harnesses flooding the market tend to place more strain on a dog’s neck than chest harnesses or Powerharnesses.
Is a Y-harness less comfortable than a chest harness?
When developing its Y-harnesses, Julius-K9 integrated Duo-Flex elastic elements at multiple points of the Longwalk harness to address one of the major issues with Y-harnesses: the potential to put pressure on the dog’s neck line.
Weak Points of Y-Harnesses
With the Longwalk dog harness, Julius-K9 has created the most awarded Y-harness in history. This multi–innovation award-winning harness offers a major advantage during walking or sports.
Is the Julius-K9 Powerharness bite-proof?
Not exactly—Julius Sebő didn’t design it with that intention 30 years ago. But thanks to its robust construction and durable German textiles, it has protected countless dogs during unexpected encounters.

This year, the 2nd Robot Dog Agility Competition was held in Budapest, organized by the Department of Ethology at ELTE’s Faculty of Science.
Should I buy a Julius-K9 Y-harness or a chest harness?
If sports and running with your dog are important to you, choose the JK9 Speed Y-harness — but pay extra attention to selecting the right size, as the risk of restricting breathing is generally higher with any Y-harness.
