ABSTRACT:
A harness provides comfortable yet secure fastening of the device to the animal. The harness may include a tail strap passing above the animal's tail, a leg strap passing below the anus, back straps passing over the back and connecting the tail and leg straps adjacent the anal region, a chest strap joined to the back straps and encircling the chest, leg loops joined to the leg strap encircling an upper thigh portion of the hind legs, and leg braces joining the back straps to the leg loops. A plurality of fastening devices are positioned on the harness for fastening a collection bag adjacent the animal's anal region. The leg loops may be at least partially formed by a distinct, continuous strip that forms at least part of a respective back strap. The back straps may overlap between the tail and chest straps.
