Item is measured manually; allow for a 0.39–0.78 inch variance. Why this muzzle - Secure, breathable containment: metal basket design keeps air flowing so your dog can pant and breathe comfortably, even in warm conditions. - Durable and safer construction: alloy steel basket is stronger and longer lasting than typical nylon muzzles. - Comfortable wear: elongated internal leather pad cushions the nose for added comfort during short-term use. Adjustable, non-slip fit - Adjustable leather straps at the nose and neck let you tighten for a snug, non-slip fit while still allowing natural jaw movement. - Both nose section and neck strap are adjustable so you can fine-tune the fit for your dog’s comfort and security. Use guidance and safety - Accurate sizing is critical. We provide measurement charts and guides—follow them closely to ensure a correct fit. - This muzzle is intended for short-term use only. Do not leave a muzzled dog unattended. - Proper introduction and training help your dog accept the muzzle. Knowledge of correct muzzle use is as important as the product itself. Practical scenarios - Vet or grooming visits: safer handling during exams and procedures. - Public walks and crowded places: prevents biting or unwanted snapping when your dog is nervous or reactive. - Short-term training or behavior management: use under supervision while teaching bite inhibition or reducing undesired mouthing. How to fit - Measure the nose circumference and length before purchase. - Place the basket over the nose, secure the neck strap, then adjust the nose strap to prevent slipping while allowing comfortable panting. - Recheck fit after a few minutes and during use; allow breaks and monitor your dog’s breathing and comfort.
