Pssst, Here's a Secret: Harnesses Bows Are the Best Way to Put a Bow on a Short-Haired Dog

Short-haired dogs come in all varieties of cute, but adding a bow just makes them stand out even more. However, attaching a bow to a short hair dog isn't easy, though there are a few tricks that can help, as we mentioned in our previous blog post on 'How to put a bow on a short-haired dog'. Short hair makes it near impossible to use the clips or elastic bands that work on longer haired dogs. That’s why SprinklePups’ harnesses with our matching harness bows are the perfect accessory for your short-haired pup. Combining style, comfort, and practicality, our harnesses and matching harness bow charms are designed to make your pup stand out of the pack and earn compliments wherever your dog goes!

Here’s why adding a bow to your pup's harness is the best choice that allows your short-haired dog to wear a beautiful big bow, all day long:

1. Solves the Bow Attachment Dilemma

For short-haired dogs, traditional bows can be difficult to attach securely. Without thick fur to hold them in place, clip-on or tie-on bows often slip off or look awkward. Hairband types of bows like these are the next best choice and work great for photographs or occasional use, but not all dogs will tolerate them for any length of time. SprinklePups harnesses with our matching harness bow accessories solve this problem effortlessly. The bows quickly and easily slip right on to the center back T-strap of the harness with an elastic loop, ensuring they stay perfectly positioned while your dog moves and plays.

2. Designed for Comfort

Comfort is crucial for any dog, and while some dogs are fine with wearing "hairbows" that are affixed with clips, elastic, or headband styles, your dog won't even know that you've added a bow to your dog's harness. SprinklePups harness bows are lightweight and securely attached to the harness (not your dog), so your dog stays stylish without even knowing she is wearing a bow!

3. Perfect for Grabbing Attention and Compliments

For short-haired dogs, visibility can sometimes be a concern, especially for those with darker coats. A SprinklePups harness with a bold bow ensures your pup is easily seen, whether at the park, on a hike, or during evening walks. It’s a fashionable way to add a layer of safety, and you can expect the compliments to roll on in!

4. A Stylish Statement

Short-haired dogs have a clean, minimalistic look that pairs beautifully with bold, colorful accessories. SprinklePups harnesses with matching harness bows provide that perfect pop of personality. Whether your pup’s coat is jet black, golden brown, or snowy white, our vibrant designs offer a striking contrast that turns heads on every walk. Choose from a range of chic patterns and colors to match your dog’s unique personality and style.

5. Photo-Ready Accessories

Short-haired dogs are photogenic by nature, and adding a SprinklePups harness with a matching harness bow makes them camera-ready. Whether it’s a casual selfie or a professional photoshoot, these accessories add the perfect touch of charm and sophistication to every picture.

6. Durable and Functional

SprinklePups harnesses are as durable as they are stylish. They’re designed to handle the adventures of active pups while keeping them secure and comfortable. The matching bows are securely fastened with a 1-inch elastic loop, so they stay in place no matter how playful your pup gets.
