Phoenix Forest is a Taiwanese pet-lifestyle house whose harnesses, leashes, and toys are built around one idea: gear that's escape-proof, comfortable, and good-looking enough to leave by the door. Its US range on Ding-go spans five sub-brands — X harness PLUS and AUSKOMMEN for walking, and BLUE BAY, MUNCHEE, and TAILS HILL for play and enrichment — covering both cats and dogs. Everything below ships from Ding-go's US warehouse, so you skip the long waits and customs fees that usually come with Taiwanese pet gear. Here's the whole line, what each piece is for, and how to pick the right size.

X harness PLUS: the escape-proof harness for cats and small dogs
The X harness PLUS is the flagship, and it's built to solve the single biggest problem with cat and small-dog harnesses: the backward wriggle-out. Its X-shaped, multi-point design distributes pressure across the chest instead of the throat, so there's no choking on the pull and no gap for a determined escape artist to reverse through. It's a favorite for leash-training indoor cats who are venturing outside for the first time, as well as for puppies and toy breeds. It comes in a wardrobe of colorways — Signature Beige, Mocha, Rose Gold, and Platinum Black — in both a cat/puppy cut and a small-dog cut ($42–45). Measure your pet's chest girth before ordering and size to the snugger end if they're between sizes; a harness you can slip two fingers under is about right.
AUSKOMMEN leashes: pair them with the harness
Phoenix Forest's AUSKOMMEN Transform Leash ($27) adjusts between multiple lengths, so one leash works for close-quarters city walking and longer garden roaming — ideal alongside the X harness for cats and puppies still learning the ropes. For dogs, the standard AUSKOMMEN Leash ($18–20) is a clean, durable everyday lead. Buying a harness and leash together from the same line means the hardware and clips are designed to match, which is one less thing to think about at the door.
Dog toys: BLUE BAY and TAILS HILL
For dogs, BLUE BAY covers both fetch and brains. The 3-piece Plush Squeaky Ball Set ($25) and 2-piece set ($23) are soft, squeaker-loaded balls for dogs who live for the noise, while the BLUE BAY Treat Hiding Toy ($15) turns snack time into a puzzle that slows down fast eaters and keeps a bored dog busy. The TAILS HILL Squeaky Treat Hunt Toy ($25) leans into sniff-and-search enrichment — hide kibble or treats inside and let your dog work for the reward, which is genuinely tiring in the good way that a walk in the rain can't always be.
Cat toys: MUNCHEE catnip
On the cat side, MUNCHEE's catnip-filled toys are the easy win. The range includes a catnip banana ($20), a catnip horse ($15), and a classic catnip toy ($15) — kick-toy shapes cats can bunny-kick, wrestle, and nap next to. They pair naturally with the X harness kit: a little catnip play indoors is a good way to build positive associations before and after those first supervised outdoor walks.
How to build a starter kit
For a cat or puppy going outside for the first time, the core kit is simple: an X harness PLUS, an AUSKOMMEN Transform Leash, and a MUNCHEE catnip toy (or a BLUE BAY treat toy for dogs) to reward calm behavior. For an established dog, pair the AUSKOMMEN Leash with a BLUE BAY ball set and the TAILS HILL treat-hunt toy for rainy-day enrichment.

FAQ
Is the X harness PLUS really escape-proof for cats?
The X harness PLUS uses a multi-point, X-shaped design that spreads tension across the chest and closes the gap cats usually reverse out of. No harness is 100% escape-proof, but a correctly sized X harness — snug enough for only two fingers underneath — is one of the most secure options for cats and small dogs.
How do I size a Phoenix Forest harness?
Measure your pet's chest girth (the widest part behind the front legs) and their neck, then match to the product size chart. If your pet is between sizes, choose the smaller/snugger size for security, and check the fit lets you slide two fingers underneath comfortably.
Are the BLUE BAY and MUNCHEE toys safe for heavy chewers?
BLUE BAY plush squeaky balls and MUNCHEE catnip toys are designed for play and enrichment rather than as indestructible chew toys. As with any toy, supervise aggressive chewers and remove a toy once it's damaged.
Do you ship pet supplies across the US?
Yes. Ding-go ships the full Phoenix Forest pet range nationwide from its US warehouse, typically in days rather than weeks, with no customs fees.
Can I use the harness and leash together?
Yes — the X harness PLUS and AUSKOMMEN leashes are designed as a system, with matching clips and hardware, so buying them together gives you a coordinated, secure setup for walks.
