Do your sizes run small?
We based our small size on Joey, a Miniature Pinscher mix, and Bugz, a Chihuahua mix. Joey’s measurements are as follows: Neck = 11in, Center Back = 5in, Girth = 17in, Chest = 8in. Bugz measurements are: Neck = 9 ¼in, Center Back = 4in, Girth = 15 ½ in , Chest = 7in. Please view our size guide for more details.
Can you do a custom order?
If you would like us to make a harness in a size we do not regularly carry in stock, you may request a custom order by contacting us. You may choose from the selection of prints and styles we currently offer on our website. We ask that you carefully take your dogs measurements around the base of his neck, around his girth or waist (just behind shoulders), center front of chest, and along the center back from base of neck to his waist (please refer to our size guide). All measurements must be in inches. Custom Orders generally require additional amount of labor. Therefore, prices may vary depending on the difficulty and estimated time to complete the harness from pattern to finished product. An estimate will be given by the email you provide.
Do you make leashes?
We do not currently offer leashes at this time as our focus is primarily based on the Loop-Thru Harness. It is one of the many possibilities as we look to expanding our line in the future. Nonetheless, we hope to accommodate you as best as we can.

What is your refund policy?
Discounted items and custom orders are final sale. All other returned items must be in selling condition and received back at Island Doggie within 30 days from the original shipping date (that's the date and time you received your shipping/tracking email). Upon inspection, returns are processed within 5-7 business days after arriving back at Island Doggie. Refunds can only be issued back to your original payment method. Unfortunately, Island Doggie is unable to switch refunds to a new or different payment method other than what was originally used on your order.
The original shipping cost is non-refundable, except in cases where Island Doggie has made an error or if the package arrived damaged. In the event where the package tracking confirms delivery, but you did not receive your package, please contact your local post office. Return shipping will not be provided unless there was an shipping error on our part. If this is the case, please do not hesitate to contact us before returning your package and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Do you offer exchanges?
Currently, Island Doggie is only able to process exchanges for domestic (U.S.) customers. We can only offer exchanges for the same item in a different size or color. Please contact us in writing to specify the reason for your exchange request and what you would like instead before sending your item back to us. Unfortunately, the same shipping policy applies for exchanges where we are unable to offer free return shipping nor refund the cost of your original shipping.
