Sometimes, everything you need in your feed are beautiful photos of dogs. Even better if the dog is wearing comfortable, pain-free gear, right?💛 Happy Weekend!
P.S. For ethical reasons, we confirm that Heidi has been paid a generous amount of tasty treats for her model services.

When we see a dog running fast, we might be impressed by the agility and strength. At Canuzzo we are also impressed by steady, slow movement. Real strength in a dog's body comes from very small, deep stability muscles. 💪

These muscles hold and support the whole body, without their activation the dog is very unstable. 🧐 If you have only been focused on speed, it's never too late to slow down and find opportunities for healthy movement, that will develop stability muscles. Healthy movement means variety, slow speed and freedom to choose.

Dogs with a healthy body and good coordination get lots of benefits: more self-confidence and coping skills, less tension and discomfort, less chance to develop painful chronic conditions. 💛 Does your dog gets a chance to move in a healthy way regularly? Check yourself by looking at the slides ➡️

We're total dog anatomy and movement geeks! 🧠 Before creating Canuzzo, we tried countless harnesses for our dogs and noticed they all lacked one crucial feature.
During the design process, we had a major breakthrough – we realized our harnesses needed an adjustable strap on top. We're excited to share this "AHA" moment⚡️ with you!

When choosing walking equipment for puppies the first thing we need to look at is the fitting.

Puppies are still developing, their bones and joints are very soft, so what we put on their body will have a major impact. Even small traumas received in puppyhood will scar and over time have consequences for the dog’s posture and mobility. It’s absolutely necessary to invest in quality equipment to ensure your puppy grows healthy and avoid large vet bills going forward.

✅A harness for a puppy must allow free movement of the paws and prevent soft tissue damage. We want to achieve natural healthy movement, as close as possible to a dog who does not wear anything at all.

✅Watch out for the shoulder area: most harnesses restrict shoulder movement! A good harness for a puppy should have a Y shape at the front. The tip of the triangle should sit on the sternum bone. You will feel it right away if you touch the chest area of your puppy.

✅You also want the harness to be very light to reduce the impact on the dog’s body. A light and long-enough lead would make a perfect combo!

✅Puppies grow very quickly and might have weird body shapes, so several adjustment points are very important. The Canuzzo harness has six adjustment points and can fit dogs of any shape. We will help you to fit the harness correctly with our fitting guide.

✅Harnesses that go over the head feel unpleasant to most dogs. We want our puppy to feel happy and relaxed to help them navigate this difficult human world. So a harness that opens at the front would feel much better to put on and take off.

Here are some common questions our clients ask us about harnesses:

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞? We suggest donating your harness to a dog shelter in your area or to low income families. You can also sell it to someone else - all dogs need a good harness and the planet will thank you.

𝐃𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠? No, harnesses do not cause pulling. On the contrary, dogs in a well-fitted harness feel more comfortable and relaxed. They slow down and enjoy their walks without pulling.

𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐬 / 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬? Yes, a Y-shaped well-fitted harness is safe for dogs of any breed and shape. Canuzzo harness has 6 regulation points that make it easy to fit for every dog.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬? We recommend choosing a harness vs a collar for dog of any age, breed and size. It’s because collars can easily damage the internal organs of the neck and create permanent consequences for the dog’s body. The neck of the dog hosts thyroid, nerves, blood vessels, trachea, and many other vital organs. All of them can easily get damaged with a sudden pull on the leash. And no dog is a robot (even trained ones), so pulls will definitely happen. You can put a collar on your dog to attach a silent address tag, but do not connect a leash to a collar.

First Canuzzo harnesses are arriving to the dedicated testers.
We want to make sure our gear is perfect in every way, so we are collecting feedback from other dog professionals. Lisa Dickel is a behaviour specialist living in Norway, we trust her expertise and have asked to share her opinion.

After a few days of testing Lisa and her dog Nyako are very happy with the Canuzzo harness. They noted how light the material is, how easy it is to adjust it to fit the dog perfectly and how much more comfortable Nyako is with the clips on the front: putting the harness on and off is so much easier now!
Lisa has also appreciated that this harness does not slide to the side of Nyako like most other harnesses she tried do. Needless to say, we are very proud to receive such great and detailed feedback. Thank you, Lisa and Nyako!💛 Calm minds & canines

𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘻𝘻𝘰 - 𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨

We dreamt of making quality, comfortable and affordable dog harnesses and leashes for a long time.

As behaviour specialists we see a major need for it: millions of dogs are not enjoying their walks due to uncomfortable, often harmful equipment. And even if people go for a harness - finding a well fitting one is a huge challenge.

𝘞𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘨𝘴’ 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘯𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯-𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳.

When we started working on this project, one of the first things was to find a name for our brand. It was a first big step in making our dream come true.

It was not as simple as we thought! Finding a name that would reflect our values, be unique and memorable was quite a task. And at the same time, like in many cases in life, the perfect name was just waiting around the corner.

𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘻𝘻𝘰 - this simple and beautiful word means “dog” in Sicilian language. This is how inhabitants of the wonderful Mediterranean island of Sicily call dogs in a tender and friendly way. What helps to understand the meaning of the word is the knowledge that in Sicilian culture, family ties are cherished and dogs are considered members of the family.

𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘪𝘴 “𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘻𝘻𝘰” 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘴?

Although we ourselves are not of Sicilian origin, we, along with our dogs, are deeply connected to the Sicilian culture. One of us, Lyubov, is married to a Sicilian and speaks this language at home. And Elena, another founder of Canuzzo, is deeply in love with the island and shares her life with a dog of Sicilian origin called Ciro.

𝘐𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨?

We are sure this is not just a coincidence. Our friendship and this project were meant to be.
