Mini Pig Collar Dangers 

 

Mini pigs should only wear harnesses that have been designed specifically for their unique body shape. Collars can be extremely hazardous to pigs, even when worn for a short time. 

 

Mini pigs have a thick neck and relatively narrow head. They tend to go into panic mode when startled or upset. The collar can easily slip off leaving a loose & panicked pig. If the collar is not loose enough to slip off, then it is tight enough to cause extreme dangers due to their unique anatomy. 

 

Pigs are anatomically different than dogs, having only one jugular vein. On the other side of the neck is a blood sinus where the other jugular would be in other species. If the blood sinus is torn by a collar, then significant bleeding and even death can result. In addition, they have a very small and delicate trachea. This trachea can be collapsed by the pressure of a collar, resulting in choking or suffocation. 

 

The best harnesses for mini pigs are designed in an A shape, having two secure buckles on the side. This allows the harness to be put on without picking up the pig’s feet or sticking anything over their head. One strap goes around their neck in front of their front legs. The other strap goes behind their front legs. Whether the top of the “A” points towards the head or the tail depends on the instructions of the specific harness designer and also the shape of your mini pig. Some pigs have thicker or thinner necks. Try both ways and see which way feels more comfortable and snug for your mini pig. 

 

There are also “all in one” style harness & leads that will grow with your pig. Pig parents may find these more suitable for pigs that have been well trained and are accustomed to the feel of the harness around their body. For pigs that are comfortable in a harness, these one piece leads are very convient to put on put & last through growth spurts.

We set out to create the best pot belly /mini pig harnesses that we could. Our mini pig harnesses are specifically designed just for mini / potbelly pigs. We use heavy duty nylon webbing, upholstery-grade thread, sturdy metal or plastic buckles curved to conform to your mini pigs’ body, a welded D ring, metal snap clip and double layered leash to make the strongest mini pig harness you will find anywhere. Our potbelly pig harnesses will last a long time. 

 

Our products are different. We custom design our own ribbons, and have them woven in Damask instead of printed, so not only are they durable, they are also unique –  you won’t find them anywhere else! 

 

Our harnesses run from $14.95 in the baSIX© line to $59.95 in the Design IT© line, not including leashes, in sizes from XS to 2X Large.  You can choose from up to 22 different webbing colors and 3 ribbon styles in 3 product lines baSIX©, Off the Rack© and Design IT©. We can also do custom harnesses as well just contact us. Turn-around time is 1-3 business days for baSIX© and Off the Rack©, Design IT© is up to 10 business days. We have customers worldwide and offer standard and Priority shipping options for US locations and standard shipping for orders outside the continental United States. 

 

We are a small family run business in Connecticut and do this part time. We all have regular day jobs as well as manage a small farm, consisting of horses, llamas, alpacas, sheep, goats, donkeys, cows, chickens, dogs and of course, mini-pigs! Many of the animals here are rescues, either from bad situations or from people who are no longer able to care for them. Here they get all the care, love and attention they need to live out happy lives!  Proceeds from piGGlz.com goes to support this effort. We donate a dollar from every sale to the American Mini Pig Rescue’s Spay/Neuter/Microchip fund.

When my pigs were very young, I bought them harnesses and loved them until I realized that they were rubbing my babies raw. I knew there had to be a better way, so I started designing my own in 2008. After all the failed designs, I came up with the perfect mini pig harness. My harnesses are A style and are made with sturdy webbing and heavy Duty buckles like the rest, but I cover them with soft flannel fabric to keep them from rubbing and causing sores under the arm pits. 

 

These pig harnesses are made to order so that you will be happy with the way they fit your pig when you get it. 

 

You can choose the size that is closet to the size needed , then put your custom measurements in so that I can custom make it for your pig. X-Small and Small are 5/8” wide, Medium is 3/4” Wide , Large and X-Large is 1” Wide. I also made a harness just for your big babies at 2” wide. You can also get a matching leash in 5/8” or 1” Wide. 

 

I try to help all that I can, so with every purchase, I donate $2 to American Mini Pig Rescue Spay Neuter Fund. As well as Products/Cash and Discounts for Sanctuaries and Rescues.
