Mayerzon Dog Muzzle, Basket Muzzle for Small Medium Large Sized Dogs to Prevent Biting for Grooming Scavenging, Breathable Mouth Guard for Husky Golden Retriever Labrador Beagle

Note: When measuring my dog, I added half an inch intentionally to the snout circumference to allow for a bit of growth, as he is only 9 months old.Q: Does this muzzle offer enough room for a full pant?A: The design allows for a moderate pant on a large dog (i.e. my German shepherd / Labrador retriever mix), though not quite a full pant. It would need to be taller in height (vertical/nose to chin) to allow a full pant for my dog, but this is a great start for folks who want or need to condition their dog to wearing a muzzle.Q: Is it easy to feed treats through this muzzle?A: As long as you are using small training treats that will fit through the holes, yes!Q: Is it easy to take off of my dog?A: Incredibly easy to remove, yes. You just unclip it like any regular collar clip.Q: Is it comfortable for my dog?A: Make sure that you've measured correctly, and it should be decently comfortable. The key is to slowly desensitize your dog over the course of a few weeks. I recommend starting with a large bowl and training your dog to voluntarily put their face into the bowl to eat treats at the bottom while you hold onto the bowl between both hands, to mimic the way you would need to hold the muzzle.Q: Why would I need this muzzle over the other options out there?A: This muzzle allows for a wider pant, or otherwise allows the dog to breathe better while exercising. It is also softer and a little less painful when your dog inevitably decides to muzzle punch you, another dog, or another person. You should consider training your dog to wear a muzzle if you have a dog with any type of reactivity, be it fearful, exciteable, or aggressive reactivity.Q: Will this muzzle lessen barking, growling, or whining?A: The purpose of this muzzle, like any other muzzle, is to prevent your dog from biting, not to prevent barking. No muzzle will truly prevent barking. Please do NOT buy a muzzle with the intention to make your dog stop vocalizing. Talk to a local behavioral-educated dog trainer to manage unwanted vocalizations.Q: How can I make it easier to encourage my dog to willingly put their face in it?A: I have found that smearing some canned dog food along the bottom half of the inside, just in the very front, and setting the muzzle in the freezer (with the straps clipped on the "wrong" side of the muzzle so they don't get stuck out weird) for 20-30 minutes, really helps with sensitive dogs who need that extra bit of encouragement. Make sure to hold the muzzle for them for the first few days, even when it is clipped together on them, to prevent head shaking and other less than ideal behaviors.

I purchased several other muzzles from this company and somehow someway my dog has managed to scratch a hole & slip out of it. I purchased this Hard plastic Muzzle, it has worked very well. With some modifications made to it. I did order size small for my Maltipoo he hasn't been able to break through the plastic the muzzle with the modifications for him to keep it onto his face. I just use some small zip ties and placed where the muzzle was a little loose. I purposely waited a while before submitting a review to see how well it will hold up. And I must say it's held up very well after several months of wear. My dog can breathe in it, he can bark, he can even drink water while wearing it. My only recommendation will be able to create a xxsmall. I'm sure it will probably fit well on dogs with a longer snout. Overall I have no regrets about purchasing this muscle from this vendor.

I am so impressed by the quality of this muzzle, I might just buy another! I have a Baskerville I have been using for training but I have either wanted a biothane or the vinyl one, The vinyl one I wanted is over $100!!! and for a muzzle, I just couldn't justify that. I have been occasionally searching google for a vinyl muzzle and saw nothing up until the other day, when this one came up. For the price, I decided to give it a shot. It came in yesterday and I love it, the buckle is extremely useful, It's not massive like somewhere it just looks ridiculous, the price is perfect, it fits my Dane x Mastiff mix and it was super easy to "customize". The whole were a little too small for giving my dog treats so I decided to cut a larger whole, I used a box opener and it cut so easily and it isn't sharp at all. My only two suggestions would be to offer different collar head straps and larger whole for breathing and treats. I also really want charms for my muzzle, make this seller can offer those in the future :)

Fits my dog great. He hates it so much.

I would give it zero stars if I could. Poor pant room, and a tight fit even with following the measurements of my narrow dog to a tee. It also has sharp edges and a horrible chemical smell that will not go away. This is the only muzzle my muzzle trained dog has pawed at to get out of. I also saw where this company tried to use the name of a reputable small muzzle maker to try and get sales. Save your money and look elsewhere for one of the small companies popping up who make custom sized muzzles. This one is not it!

I love it. I got two for my German shepherds and they work very well.

Return because it was too easy for our dogs, too remove from their face with just one paw. Love the clear concept, but it just didn’t work for ours.

looks to be sturdy for a dog. however, just too big for my 10 pounder!
