Soft Rubber Basket Dog Muzzle

This basket-style muzzle is molded in one piece with rows of round ventilation holes across the sides and front, so air can move around the nose and mouth. A strap runs over the top of the head and fastens behind the jaw with a buckle, which lets you adjust how snug it sits once your dog has settled into it. Several colors are offered, including black, blue, rose red, gray and orange, although not every color comes in every size.

Sizing goes by head circumference rather than by breed. Measure around your dog's head at the point where the muzzle will sit, and compare the number with the ranges below: S fits 10.6-12.6 in (27-32 cm), M fits 13.0-14.6 in (33-37 cm), L fits 15.0-16.9 in (38-43 cm) and XL fits 17.3-18.9 in (44-48 cm). If your dog falls between two sizes, remember that the muzzle is a fixed molded shape and will not stretch to fit.

Use it for short, supervised sessions, for example a vet visit or a grooming appointment, and introduce it gradually with treats so your dog links it with something pleasant. Rinse it with warm water and mild soap after use and let it air dry. Each order includes one muzzle.
