  • Chic, modern color palette
  • Waterproof, wipe-clean materials
  • Soft, cushioned harness construction

  • Inconsistent harness fit, loosening
  • Heavy, uncomfortable leash handle
  • Fragile poop bags and holder
  • Chipping hardware coating durability

Wild One earns mixed reviews: the brand delivers stylish, easy-to-clean leashes, bowls, toys, and soft harnesses that many find durable and comfortable, yet recurring complaints flag harness fit/loosening, heavy or awkward hardware, fragile poop bags and holders, and occasional leash/hardware failures. Reviews praise the chic colorways, waterproof wipe-clean materials, multiple leash lengths and front-clip control, and travel carriers/bowls, but note inconsistent durability, sizing quirks for certain breeds, and some products feeling flimsy or unsafe for strong pullers.

  • You caught me- I bought the walking harness kit because of the colors. But I have to say, this is an incredibly high quality and durable harness and the leash being made of rubber is an absolute WONDER. That was another highlight because our old fabric leash was SO gross and this one we can just wipe down. I have two pups; the older one loves his harness, and he never pulls so we can utilize the leash loop on top, and he looks totally dashing. The younger one is a furry demon who loves to jump into puddles, pull like she's a sled dog, and roll around in mud; we use the front loop for her and it instantly cuts down on the pulling. These are totally washable so when they get a little funky or gross, we just pop them into the washing machine and good as new. The fanny pack is also great for treats, long walks when I don't have pockets, and just general galivanting; I do wish it came in blue though. Overall, if you are in the market for a harness upgrade- definitely check out Wild One!

  • These are my favorite leashes/harnesses. I love the double loop feature on the leashes and they're really durable and easy to clean. I have a few sets in different colors!

  • If anyone knows me, they know Pip. Pip is a stylish girl. Pip is a purple girl. Pip has expensive taste. When I saw the walk kit, I knew she had to have it. The leash is such good quality and the harness can be perfectly adjusted to Pip's little neck. Pip's dad and I have loved everything we've bought from Wild One including the collar, shampoo, wipes, & the travel carrier. We will continue to purchase from Wild One!

  • Obsessed with the colors and the product is easy to wash. We get a ton of compliments when wearing wild one harnesses!

    The product loosens up on its own too easily. I’m constantly having to tighten the harness.

  • Chic pet products, but not everything is as functional as it seems. I found the harness to be quite heavy, and the material wasn’t breathable enough to give my English Bulldog the ventilation he needs on hot summer days. The poop bags are the cutest I have ever used — but also the worst. I struggled to open them every single time. The material doesn’t separate well. However, the I love the soft touch feel of the leash and harnesses, and my dog was obsessed with their dried chicken treats. The brand has some highlights and some downfalls.

  • I LOVE WILD ONE. I got my first walking set as a sample product for an article I wrote at work, but I loved it so much I bought my dog another color :) The leash and harness have a great, flexible feel. The poop bags are by far my favorite brand (even though they're a little pricier than a non-sustainable competitor), and the treat pouch is such a handy item to have for walks when I don't have pockets, so I have somewhere to put my phone and keys (and, of course, treats for my boy). I really do recommend it as my favorite walk essentials brand to all my fellow dog parent friends, and I love being able to interchange the colors when I feel like it for my pup. He's a 34-pound shiba inu and wears a size Medium!

  • Super cute leash and collar colours, love them for my lab. I just recently ordered one of their Treat Pouches in the Moonstone colour to match my dog. I love that they are waterproof and stink-proof as well. Super cute products!

  • Absolutely love love love! The blush pink is so adorable on my Maxi! She loved the harness and has been so good with the leash, I rigged it to go around my waist there isn’t a clip for it but it’s been working for us and her training. The metal clips are quite heavy which is great it feels high quality but for a smaller dog it does get a bit heavy. Also the poop bags are bigger than what we’re used to and I can’t go back to the smaller ones it’s so much more handy when I have to carry them on a longer walk!

  • Loveee the design! It’s minimalistic with a variety of colors & the leash is super easy to clean with the material it’s made from. I got the pink one & it looks super cute on my Shiba! The only con is that it is on the pricier side so I’m really glad I was able to get it through this Thingtesting rebate offer especially since I’ve been eyeing it but haven’t pulled the trigger bc of the price!

  • Wild one walk kit is so stylish! I love the color, it fits my dog so well! I walked my puppy today, and got lots of compliment! The harness is also very soft! My puppy loves it!!

  • I like their products, but feel they are overpriced. I think this is evident by them being found several times recently in TJ Maxx stores. I have the leash, collar, and harness for my corgi. Everything is very heavy and I rarely put the harness on my dog because I feel it’s too heavy for him.

  • I ordered the walking kit (the harness and leash) and can say that my little guy loves it. He was having some issues with a collar, and I hated that when he would pull on his old leash, I felt like I was choking him. The Wild One harness is great because it's essentially like a little vest, and he doesn't seem uncomfortable or unhappy while wearing it for a walk. Bonus, it's super cute on him. :)

    If you have a smaller dog, definitely try the harness and leash kit.

  • Absolutely wanted to love this brand, the styles and colors are pretty cool, ordered a walking set and everything was fine, the fit was right, materials look nice and sturdy but the design of the hook that connects the leash to the harness make it super easy to open especially if the dog socializes with another dogs also on a leash, some how in a month period my dog got of the leash while in the park FOUR times, i mean obviously this is a flaw in the design, that hook should be thrust worthy in every situation even if you have an active dog like mine, so i went to my local pet store and got another leash immediately. I tried a few tomes to write a review on their web page and got erased, such a bad behavior for a “friendly company”. Yet i ended up getting another harness cuz they’re nice and resistant

    I would not recommend the leash, especially if you have an active dog.

  • Bought the Wild One Airline Compliant Pet Carrier (in black) for my puppy's first plane trip. Things to like: - Overall very nice styling with the looks of a weekender bag. Many people did not know we had a puppy inside. The dark screening helps. - The sleeve to slide the bag atop your luggage allows you to roll your pup along, a nice luxury.

    Feedback

    Things to improve: - The zipper/snap closure system can be quite finicky and tough to operate. This is made tougher should your pup not be in the mood to hop inside. - I wonder if there's any space to better maximize as your pup gets bigger. Airlines can be finicky with their pet rules, so making it easier for the pup to stand up and turn around would be great.

  • I own a bunch of products from Wild One and I would give a 5/5 if it was based on aesthetics only. The harness is amazing & great quality - we had ours for about 2 years and it has yet to tear or show any damage unlike our other harnesses. I'm only giving a 3/5 due to the airplane carrier. I do think this product should only be marketed to very small/teacup dogs. Our dog is a Chihuahua/Pug mix and only 12 lbs & he was extremely smushed and uncomfortable the entire flight. It did fit TSA guidelines, which was great, I just wish they made it a little taller or wider so our dog could lay down comfortably.

    Feedback

    I think they should make the carrier maxed out to TSA guidelines. They still have room to expand the product & it will allow dogs that are a little bigger to fit comfortably.

  • Dog mom of two excited and strong french bull dogs. I love Wild One's harness' for their extreme comfort and multi-clips. I can easily switch from a back harness clip to a front clip when I need more control on our walks. Not to mention the colours are amazing!

    Feedback

    For pups with larger heads, it could be useful to have the ability to adjust the head/beck opening. It can be a struggle to get the Small harness off of my puppy who's in between a Small and Medium size/girth.

  • I thought that the leash, harness, and matching doggy-bag holder were so stylish and they really do look great on my dog. However upon further inspection, you can see how worn out the products have become with regular use. After just 1 day, the soft material of the harness started pilling, and the leash’s metal hardware is starting to chip off paint. The harness’ adjustment points also slide easily and overall it doesn’t fit perfectly all the time. I do love how the colours have stayed true so far and that the leash’s material is easily cleanable and waterproof for snowy/rainy days. Mind you, the issues mentioned above have arisen with only 2 months of daily use. I’ll continue to use the products as they were pretty expensive, and also a family member’s gift to my dog. So until the harness wears out to the un-usable point, my pup will be sporting his Wild One getup.

    Feedback

    I think the materials used in the harness should be changed to one that is more durable. And if the leash could have more functions, such as being able to use it cross-body or around the waist, that would be awesome!

  • I had a weird situation with the Wild-one dog collar that I discovered by accident. Nutella (my dog) has been uncomfortable and eating her paws to blood for 2 years and has progressively gotten worse as time went on. Lots of vet trips, steroids, allergy pills, anti fungal foam, etc., 3 days ago I decided to get her a new collar because this one seemed ridged. She stopped panting and eating her paws almost instantly. I contacted the company and they offered a refund for the collar. I’m not accepting that. That collar is poison. Could it be that the body heat from the dog changed the chemical make up of the collar? It’s in a zip lock bag as I search for a lab to test it. Please text 860.729.7960 if you have any suggestions. I don’t want anyone to go through what we went through for 2 years!

  • Absolutely terrible. They’re pretty but the quality is so bad. After two uses the leash broke in only 3 weeks of having it. Katie the customer service rep could care less and was rude and unhelpful. Wouldn’t allow us to exchange or return. 0/10 do not recommend

  • I had mix feelings when ordering the medium blush harness, leash and poop bag due to all the previous reviews. So glad I found this promotion and did so. The color is super cute, the medium size is just right for my corgi, the waterproof leash is awesome, and the poop bag is much more discreet. We are happily satisfied with this product and would definitely recommend to others.
