Attention SA Pet Parents: This Clever App Will Help You Choose the Right Harness for Your Dog

As a pet parent, one of the biggest responsibilities you have is to make sure your dog is safe and comfortable while out exploring. A good-quality lead and harness are both must-haves for any dog, big or small. A dog harness not only ensures your dog’s safety during walks and outdoor adventures but can also play a significant role in how your dog experiences every adventure.

As the proud custodian of an energetic American Labrador Retriever, I know all too well the importance of finding the right harness to suit your dog and your lifestyle. My husband and I adopted our Sully from a shelter when he was 18 months old and our journey into the overwhelming world of pet products began. For the first couple of years, we went through so many iterations of pricey harnesses and leads before we found THE ONE, thanks to ROGZ and have never looked back. That’s not to say that all the products we bought were poor quality, sometimes quite the opposite, they just weren’t the right harness for our dog.

When we finally found the ROGZ AirTech Sport Harness and AirTech Sport Belt and Lead it was kismet. We couldn’t believe that ROGZ had heard our daily frustrations and soft cries into the ether and designed a harness purpose-made for our Sully! More on this incredible harness later, but for now, let’s focus on how you can have your moment of kismet with a clever little app that is helping to save pet owners time, money, and premature grey hairs.

Designed to help dog owners alleviate frustrations with the often overwhelming process of choosing a dog harness, collar, and lead, the ROGZ app is full of helpful tips and is so easy to use. There is so much choice out there when it comes to dog harnesses, leads, and collars it can be hard to make heads or tails of all the product options. There are so many kinds to consider, from no-pull models to escape-proof designs. Plus, some harnesses cater more to larger breeds, while others are best suited to smaller dogs. All these considerations can make it tough to pick the best dog harness for your one-of-a-kind pooch.

Fortunately, the ROGZ app is here to help anyone who needs guidance finding a harness that is best suited to the activity that you do most often with your dog. Because, an enjoyable experience with your dog is only enjoyable if you have the right product. With the help of this new app, ROGZ wants to make the experience with your dog as enjoyable as possible by helping to ensure pet parents have the right products for their activities.

How does the app work?

Using the ROGZ app to find the right harness is so simple. After downloading the free app from your Google Play Store or Apple App store, you’ll be guided through a series of questions to suss out your lifestyle and your dog’s size, features, and habits. Based on your answers, the app will recommend the right product for you and your dog, right down to the correct size and even the perfect colour.

Once the app has helped you identify the best harness, lead, or collar (or all three!) for your dog it will also help you find a store nearby or online to buy the recommended ROGZ gear. How easy is that? It’s simplified decision-making done right; eliminating confusion, needless spending, and irritability when purchasing.

Although the process of using the ‘harness matchmaker’ feature of the app is simple, ROGZ has gone to great lengths to ensure dog parents are given comprehensive results and recommendations to ensure you’re super comfortable and satisfied with your final purchasing decisions. Based on your answers inputted into the app, you’ll always get two recommended products and a side-by-side comparison of product features to help you make an informed purchasing decision.

Tap on one of the products recommended for you and you’ll be given a full description, features and product images for that product. Better still, before making your decision you can also view the product in augmented reality. Each product has been created in 3D in black across all sizes to allow you to see the image in life-size and to zoom in to see all the details of the product.

Next, the app will prompt you to choose a colour swatch and match it against the fur that closely matches your pet (or that best matches their personality).

Finally, you can select where to buy in order to find a physical store or online store that stocks ROGZ. This feature is based on geotargeting so stores in a close radius will display. If you’ve disabled location on your phone, you can type in your location to find your nearest ROGZ stockist.

The ROGZ World app is now available for download on Android ( Google Play) and iOS (App Store ). Download the app to find the perfect harness for your dog and peace of mind on every adventure with your furry friend.

ROGZ AirTech Sport Harness and AirTech Sport Belt and Lead

Our interaction with an expert at ROGZ is what led us to discover the ROGZ AirTech Sport Harness and AirTech Sport Belt and Lead. With the ROGZ app dog owners can have access to the same expertise in their pocket!

Even at the age of 4 our labrador, Sully still had young dog energy which meant he required something sturdier than the harness you’d choose for an elderly couch potato. He tends to pull when he’s overstimulated, so it was recommended that he would be better handled in a strap-style harness with a control loop like the ROGZ AirTech Sport Harness.

We paired the harness with the AirTech Sport Belt and Lead and the results were life-changing for us and our dog. The hands-free feature and the unique design of both products have helped our dog (and his long-suffering human) relax on walks and have an opportunity to enjoy the scenery.

The AirTech harness, lead, and belt have been a great combination on walks and light runs. Additionally, the harness is super simple to quickly slip on, but it also alleviates the need for a throat collar, which can hurt the trachea of dogs who tend to pull a lot.

While most dog accessories and harnesses may seem like ‘much of a muchness’, the AirTech range is undeniably different and admittedly superior thanks to the high-quality fabrics and out-of-the-box thinking with its design. It’s made the world of difference for us and our pup and we couldn’t be more grateful we found it.
