The saddle-harnesses of Julius-K9 were a major step forward in protecting dog health at the turn of the millennium. They not only replaced collars, but also provided the opportunity for a walk with a gear that was gentle on the neck and helped the dog breathe. Previously, the leash carabiner hit the dog’s neck or spine with every step. The thick, padded saddle prevents constant irritation of the dog’s spine.

The harness developer experienced the harmful consequences of the leash hitting the dog’s back during his volunteer work at an animal shelter.

In three decades, this spine-friendly saddle design spread throughout the world and helped dogs and humans coexist harmoniously.
