The real decision: pattern or build?
The Top Dog Harness Wheat and the Top Dog Harness Bone and Paw Print are both dog harnesses from thetopdogpetstore, but they differ in what you actually choose at checkout. The Wheat harness asks you to pick between a spiked and a no-spike version in a solid wheat color. The Bone and Paw Print harness asks you to pick a size and a color option with a playful bone and paw print design.
That difference matters more than color preference alone. If you want a specific look for everyday walks, the Bone and Paw Print gives you four named options. If you want a solid, understated harness and a choice about the spiked build, the Wheat version is the one to consider. Neither listing supplies measurements, weight ranges, or adjustment details, so the final fit check has to happen with the harness in hand.
What each listing confirms
- Top Dog Harness Wheat: Top Dog Harness Wheat is offered in two size options: FB (With Spikes) and FB (No Spikes), in wheat color. This is the only harness here where the build itself changes at checkout. If spikes are a dealbreaker either way, you can rule this option in or out before thinking about color.
Top Dog Harness Wheat - Top Dog Harness Bone and Paw Print: Top Dog Harness Bone and Paw Print is available in EB Red, EB Pink and Black, FB Pink Diamond, and FB Blue and Black, with bone and paw print styling. The four named options are the full color choice on this listing. If none of those combinations suits your dog or your walking routine, the Wheat harness is the simpler alternative.

Wheat vs Bone and Paw Print side by side
- What you choose at checkout: Wheat: FB (With Spikes) or FB (No Spikes). Bone and Paw Print: one of four color options (EB Red, EB Pink and Black, FB Pink Diamond, FB Blue and Black).
- Visual style: Wheat is a solid wheat color. Bone and Paw Print uses a bone and paw print design for a more playful everyday look.
- Spiked build: Only the Wheat listing confirms a with-spikes option. The Bone and Paw Print listing does not mention spikes in the supplied information.
- Sizing information: Both listings say to choose a size, but neither supplies measurements or a size chart in the supplied records. Confirm sizing before ordering.
- Catalog price: Wheat is listed at USD 102.00 (comparison price USD 150.00). Bone and Paw Print is listed at USD 108.50 (comparison price USD 175.00).
When the Wheat harness makes sense
Choose the Wheat harness if you have a clear preference about the spiked versus no-spike build and want a solid color that does not compete with your dog's coat or your walking gear. The two-option structure keeps the decision narrow: you are not sorting through color combinations, just deciding on the build.
The tradeoff is that the Wheat listing does not confirm a pattern option or a range of colors beyond wheat. If you want variety or a print, this is not the harness for that goal. Also note that the listing calls both choices 'size options' even though they describe the spiked build; treat FB as the size or build label to confirm with the store before you order.
When the Bone and Paw Print harness makes sense
Choose the Bone and Paw Print harness if the look matters to you and you want to pick from named color combinations rather than a single solid shade. EB Red and FB Blue and Black are the more traditional pairings, while EB Pink and Black and FB Pink Diamond lean toward a brighter, more decorative style.
The tradeoff is that the supplied information does not confirm a spiked version or any build variation beyond color and size. If you specifically want a spiked harness, the Wheat listing is the one that names that option. If you want a print for everyday walks and are comfortable choosing among the four listed combinations, this harness fits that brief.
Fit checks to do before you order either harness
Neither listing supplies chest measurements, weight ranges, or adjustment specs, so use these practical checks to avoid a return.
- Measure your dog's chest: Take a snug measurement around the widest part of the ribcage and compare it with the size options shown at checkout. If the listing does not give a range, ask the store which size matches your measurement.
- Confirm the size label: The Wheat options are labeled FB (With Spikes) and FB (No Spikes). Confirm with the store whether FB is the size, the build, or both before you select it.
- Check the return policy: Harness fit is hard to judge from a listing alone. Review the store's return or exchange terms before ordering so a wrong size is not a costly mistake.
- Test the fit at home: Once the harness arrives, check that it sits comfortably without restricting the shoulders, and adjust any straps according to the harness's own instructions. The supplied records do not include adjustment steps, so follow the labels that come with the product.
A note on no-pull expectations
Neither the Wheat nor the Bone and Paw Print listing is described as a no-pull harness in the supplied information. If you are shopping specifically for no-pull function, do not assume either harness provides it based on the product name or design. Ask the store directly whether the harness is intended for pull control, and look for a design that matches your dog's pulling behavior.
For dogs that pull, fit matters as much as design. A harness that shifts or gaps at the chest is less effective regardless of style, which is why the chest measurement and in-person fit check above are worth doing before you commit to either option.
