Is it bad to leave a puppy in a harness 24/7?

I would not leave your puppy in a harness when you are not with him. I always advise removing collars, harnesses and leashes when your dog is home. This is both more comfortable for your dog and a safer way to leave them unattended. There is a chance they could caught in something while running around or jumping at home.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I don't think it is bad to leave a dog in a harness all the time. Just make sure you check it often since Biscuit is a young dog and still growing. He may need a new size as he gets bigger. If he appears uncomfortable with it on all the time then take it off at night.
