Since 2006, the original ChokeFree™ has not put pressure on the pet's trachea or windpipe. There are similar step-in designs that claim to be non-choking or choke-free but they may still place pressure on the pet's windpipe and cause choking and gagging. The center portion of the soft smooth one-piece patented ChokeFree™ design touches the pet in-between the pet's front legs, whereas the other Step-In harnesses touch the pet's forechest area rather than in between the pet's front legs. Please measure your pet properly. Behind the front legs and around the girth.
