On a small dog the reflective band earns its place quickly: a terrier at knee height sits below a car's dipped beam for most of a village lane, and a strip of returned light across the chest is what a driver picks up first. Ancol fit one band and make no visibility-distance claim for it, which is the honest position — it helps, it is not lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue is a practical choice for a dog that is dark-coated, since the harness itself stays visible against the coat in daylight and the band does the work after dusk. The webbing is Ancol's poly-weave, lined with soft air-mesh, and the whole 10cm size band is covered by adjustment rather than by choosing between two shells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflective band for increased visibility in low-light conditions, which is where a low-slung small dog is hardest to see.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits a 35–45cm chest girth — Ancol's smallest size in this harness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable poly-weave webbing with soft air-mesh fabric for breathability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully adjustable, so the fit is set to the dog rather than to a size label.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAncol say the design distributes pressure evenly for improved control and support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall dogs measuring 35–45cm around the chest behind the front legs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly-morning and after-work walks on unlit lanes and pavements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEveryday walking, and car journeys used with a separate vehicle tether.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark-coated small breeds that vanish against a hedge at dusk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToo small for a dog measuring over 45cm — the Ancol Viva Exercise \u0026amp; Travel Dog Harness Blue M 45-65cm is the next size up and carries the same reflective band.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure round the deepest part of the chest, just behind the front legs, before choosing between S and M.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen the buckles, sit the chest panel over the breastbone, then fasten and adjust.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the girth so two fingers slide flat under the webbing and no further.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the reflective band clear of a coat or jumper worn over the top, or it does nothing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor car journeys attach a separate tether, such as Ancol's ISOfix Seatbelt, item 741600, to the harness.
