Lazy Doxie Co Products
Where are your products designed?
All Lazy Doxie Co. products are designed in-house with dachshunds in mind, especially long-bodied and deep-chested pups.
Our designs are inspired by real-life use and tested by our own dachshunds, Vetkoek & Oreo.
How accurate are the colours shown in your photos?
At Lazy Doxie Co, we make every effort to accurately represent the colours of our products in our photos. However, please note that colours may vary slightly due to different display settings and lighting conditions. We recommend referring to the product descriptions and details for additional information about the colour and material of the items.
If you have any specific colour-related queries, our customer support team is always available to assist you. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we strive to provide you with the best shopping experience possible.
How can I find more information about a product?
Each product page includes detailed descriptions, sizing information, and care instructions where applicable.
If you’re looking for additional details or have a specific question about a product, you’re welcome to contact us via the website chat or Contact Us page — we’re always happy to provide more information.
Are your products suitable for dachshunds with different body shapes?
Yes. Our products are designed with dachshunds in mind, including long-bodied and deeper-chested pups who often struggle to fit standard pet gear.
That said, every dog is unique, so we always recommend checking measurements and reaching out if you’d like fit advice.
We offer a 30 Day, Exchange or Refund where we can't fit your pup.
Do you restock sold-out items?
Some designs are restocked, while others are released in limited runs.
If an item you love is sold out, keep an eye on our website or sign up for restock notifications where available.
Can I request a custom or one-off item?
At this stage, we’re unable to offer custom or one-off designs.
However, your feedback helps guide future releases, so if there’s something you’d love to see added to our range, we’d still love to hear about it.
Lazy Doxie Co Harnesses
Why are your harnesses different to others on the market?
Our harnesses are designed specifically for dachshunds and similar long-bodied breeds.
Unlike many standard harnesses, our designs feature a longer chest plate, which helps provide better coverage and support for a dachshund’s deeper chest and unique body shape. This reduces rubbing, improves comfort, and allows for a more secure fit compared to shorter, standard-cut harnesses.
Because of this design difference, our harnesses may fit differently to other brands — which is why we always recommend choosing a size based on your dog’s measurements rather than a size worn in a standard harness.
Are all your harnesses longer in the chest plate?
Yes. Our harnesses are designed with a longer chest plate as a standard feature, as this better suits the shape of dachshunds and helps improve overall fit and comfort.
As we continue to expand our range, you may see variations in style or construction, but our focus on dachshund-appropriate fit, including chest coverage, remains central to our designs.
If you’re unsure whether a particular harness style is right for your pup, feel free to reach out via website chat, email, or social media DMs and we’ll happily help.
What’s the difference between overhead harnesses and step-in harnesses?
Overhead harnesses are slipped over your dog’s head and secured around the body. They’re lightweight, secure, and a popular choice for pups who are comfortable with harnesses being put on over their head.
Step-in harnesses allow your dog to step into the harness before it’s secured, avoiding the need to go over the head. These are often preferred for dogs who are sensitive around the head or neck, or who find overhead harnesses uncomfortable.
We currently offer overhead-style harnesses, with step-in harnesses planned for release in 2026.
If you’re unsure which style is best for your pup, feel free to reach out — we’re always happy to help you choose the right option.
What’s the difference between your neoprene and tweed harnesses?
Both our Neoprene and Tweed harnesses feature a mesh lining to help promote airflow and keep your pup comfortable.
Neoprene harnesses are lightweight, soft, and flexible, making them ideal for everyday wear and active use. They’re quick-drying, easy to clean, and a great option for warmer weather or dogs who prefer a softer, more forgiving fit.
Tweed harnesses offer a more structured, classic look and are made from a wool-based fabric. While they also include a mesh lining, tweed is naturally warmer and a stiffer, heavier material compared to neoprene.
If your pup is between sizes, you may find that sizing up in a tweed harness provides a more comfortable fit due to the firmer construction, whereas neoprene’s flexibility allows for a bit more give.
If you’re unsure which style or size is best for your dog, please reach out via website chat, email, or social media DMs, we’re always happy to help.
How do I know what size to select?
Each product page includes a detailed size guide to help you choose the best fit for your pup.
We recommend measuring your pup and comparing those measurements to the size chart provided, rather than sizing up or down based on breed alone.
If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out — we’re always happy to help with personalised sizing advice.
Please see our Sizing FAQs for more detailed information on sizing and fitment.

Once an order has been packed or dispatched, changes or cancellations may not be possible.

- The code is limited to one use per customer
