Lepark Mesh Dog Muzzle with Overhead Strap for Small, Medium and Large Dogs, Anti Biting, Barking and Chewing, Ajustable and Breathable (L,Black)

This is the first bite-proof muzzle I have found that has mesh over the mouth and nose that a small-to-medium size dog like my Corgi can’t bite through - plus the Velcro adjustable side pieces that come over the nose make it easy to fit it very well over the whole snout area. Most muzzles make a big deal out of their structure with the open end where the mouth is because it allows the dog to “pant, drink water and accept treats.” Since the ones I’ve tried are mostly all fabric, a Corgi with sharp teeth can still jump at someone and get a nip in that draws blood. If you have a dog that bites for whatever reason (and I’m constantly working on that with Cesar Millan’s videos) and you live in a town like Seattle - which has a “one bite rule” - if the person who was bitten reports it to Animal control your dog will be taken away and have to spend time in their shelter/dogs awaiting trial area. The dogs almost always lose the case and they have the right to put your dog down. This muzzle allows them to pant and sniff but not to drink water or eat anything. As a dog owner it’s up to you to make sure you can give them food and water with the muzzle off in your car or at home before going out. Cons: I expected this to solve the problem on walks because of the mesh over mouth and teeth and I made sure it fit correctly. After several outings he found that if he shook his head hard enough - even with it fitting snuggly - it could sail off onto the ground. Also, the center strap that goes up the center of the nose to connect with the main strap that goes behind the ears is not fixed in place so it can move around and change the snug fit. I have found this to be true on all muzzles with this type of center strap, so once I have the fit correctly established, I hand-sew the strap in place to the main piece above so it stays in the middle of the face and nose. Some muzzles prevent coming off by having a strap attached under the jaw that ends in a loop so you can slide their collar through it before buckling the collar and the muzzle. This addition would make this muzzle much more effective. We are often told to get the dog acclimated to the muzzle first and eventually they will accept wearing it. Only some days is this true for my dog. But, to keep from being sued or having him taken from me I will always have it on when around people. Only when I am unlikely to run into anyone except from a distance will I let him go without it. I always hope that with continual training it may not be necessary but I can’t count on that. My boy is a great dog and indoors he is always well-behaved, affectionate and obedient. I will not return the muzzle - in fact I ordered two more. I save the black strap material and same-size buckles from worn out muzzles and backpacks and will sew a strap with the loop on myself that the collar can slide through because the rest of the muzzle is well made and truly bite-proof. The only other bite-proof muzzles I’ve seen are the metal cage ones - which never have a good-fitting strap system or the latest ones that are shaped like a hard thick plastic duck bill that sticks out so far in front of the moth that the dog’s teeth cannot get past them. Besides being unattractive - the strap holding them on would take little for a determined dog to paw or scrape off their head against a tree or fence. The Baskerville-style muzzles do have the additional collar strap, but the opening above the nose area is just big enough for a pointy-nosed determined dog to force his teeth up through it and nip. If this vendor adds a collar strap and a way to make the center forehead strap stationary in the future, I would give it a very high rating. With Covid, more dogs are around other dogs and people than they normally would be and it’s a stressor. Much of dog biting is from fear aggression. These are all solely my opinions.

First, the pic makes it look like it's a nice breathable mesh. It's not. It almost solid and my dog had a hard time breathing in it and almost had a panic attack! Second, the straps are poorly placed and my smart dog had it off in about 5 mins. This company should seriously redesign this awful product!

Very happy with this muzzle. We got it as our German Shepard is recovering from sever skin issues and even with a cone we were struggling to keep her from chewing at herself. This is the only muzzle we have been able to keep on her without having to have it and a cone on. She doesn’t totally hate it and her skin is healing as she isn’t able to chew at herself!

DO NOT BUY THIS MUZZLE. Very bad product design. I should’ve read the reviews more carefully, I bought this because my new trainer wanted my puppy to have it on when she started training, shes a fear aggressive large dog breed. It started off not fitting right, it wouldn’t stay on easily and it was very easy for my dog to get off. Thankfully she got on with the trainer, but if I had a truly aggressive dog, potentially very bad things could have happened. The picture makes it seem that the muzzle is attached all around but it isn’t, it does not strap under the neck. This muzzle is dangerous in that it’s ineffectual, it can take what you think is a safe situation into a very dangerous one.

My blue heeler puppy is a little nippy in public. But! He is so smart that he was able to take off the first muzzle we bought him. He cannot get this one off his face. However, I do notice there isn't the most room for him to pant so I would not use it on extremely hot days or during exercise.

I can’t really review this product fully. I measured according to the chart and ordered the smallest available for my puppy. Sadly it is still WAY TOO BIG. The muzzle cup covers her eyes and the neck strap is 4” too long. I would submit a photo, but she won’t stay still long enough for me to take one. After reading reviews and asking questions, the other option (longer version) that offers an XXS will not work for my short snouted baby.Two stars because: The muzzle shipped and arrived quickly, and the product SEEMS to be quality. I will hold onto it for now, hoping she will grow into it. But I also pray she will grow out of eating EVERYTHING in the backyard before she fits into it. Until then, I will continue to walk her on a leash in our fenced backyard.

I ordered the muzzle in size L because my dog was in between two sizes, but has a big snout, so I thought it will be better to rather buy a bigger one than a small one. Unfortunately the neck strip was WAY too big, so messaged the customer service about refunds and shipping costs to order a smaller one. They answered quickly and offered to send me the smaller one for free and that I can keep or donate the big one. So a few days later I received the other one, which fits perfectly on my dog! I don't know yet, how sturdy it really is, but for my purpose it's sturdy enough. I only need it because my dog eats everything he finds on walks and I often let him run on a long training leash and can't stop him from snacking fast enough. So it's a great muzzle for that price and the customer service is great!!

We really wanted to like this, having a muzzle that didn't squeeze her muzzle. We thought with three straps, it would stay on, but no matter how tight we made the straps, as soon as she shook her head, the top strap slipped down the side and the whole muzzle falls right off. It was comfortable enough around her muzzle, but if it doesn't stay on, it's not effective. It also made us kind of nervous because the mesh is not very fine and she sounded like darth vader trying to breathe through it. Makes me think it's durable, but she was meant to wear this overnight to keep her from licking a wound dressing, so she needs to be able to breathe.
