These are always preferable to the cone-shaped “Emergency” muzzles or groomers muzzles that hold your dog’s mouth shut which isn’t a good idea – these are dangerous for a number of reasons.

You will see these suggested on other “best muzzle” lists, but please ensure you do not use them for your dog!None of those proved to be real as it fits very well and seems to be tailored to provide as much comfort to the dog as possible. Measure your dog’s snout girth at A and add approx 2cm for comfort, then choose the next closest muzzle size up from below. For example, if your dog is constantly barking, there is a reason for it such as separation anxiety, boredom, sounding the alarm, territorial barking, or attention-seeking. The muzzle is made of leather so as not to injure a nose and my dog must have felt it and calmed down.

While muzzles can be a useful tool in certain situations, they are not a long-term solution for behavioral issues. The additional muzzle guard will prevent your dog scavenging on walks, eating poop or touching wildlife, all increasing concerns for dog owners.Even if your dog has no bite history, if you think the risk of a dog bite exists—for example, your dog lunges and barks at other dogs or people—a muzzle can provide additional peace of mind. Another reason is to stop the dog from eating things they shouldn't when you can't keep a close eye on them. Dog muzzles are intended for use as a temporary safety measure against biting, and they should not be left on for long periods or used as a punitive measure. Instead of using it as a punishment, trainers use it as a safety measure during the training process. It's brightly coloured, making it highly visible and easy for dogs to find whilst the small rope attached allows you to throw long distances .

Please measure your dog carefully and select the best measurements to provide a snug but comfortable fit.If your dog is trying to take the muzzle off, try to distract them with a treat or their favourite toy to stop this behaviour. To choose a size, we recommend using the weight/breed guidelines below as long as your dog is not over or underweight. The head shape and especially the many hairs on the muzzle make it not easy to find something suitable. Your dog can still nip, but they cannot pant, they cannot really take treats, they cannot vomit and they put your dog at risk of overheating.

If your dog is aggressive and/or has bitten another dog or a person in the past, a muzzle can be used for safety.

When you receive your muzzle, make sure that it is large enough to allow your dog to pant and that it is secure. It is expensive when you start looking at larger dogs, but if your dog is going to be wearing a muzzle for a long period of time daily, or training through a lot of issues, then this Bumas muzzle is genuinely your best bet. We recommend creating a positive association with the muzzle by pairing it with yummy treats, fun games or something your dog really likes.
