FAQ

How do I know if size 10 is the right size for my dog?

Measure the circumference of the muzzle just behind the nose and the length from the tip to the eyes. Size 10 is suitable for circumferences of 25-30 cm and lengths of 10-12 cm. If you are unsure, measure with a flexible measuring tape or consult the Covetrus size guide.

Can a plastic muzzle hurt my dog?

No, if it fits correctly. The plastic is smooth and the leather strap prevents chafing. Make sure there's about a finger's width of space between the muzzle and the snout to avoid excessive pressure. Remove it if you notice redness or irritation.

Can I leave the muzzle on all day?

No. This muzzle is designed for temporary use (maximum 2 hours at a time). The dog needs to rest, drink water, and pant freely. Use it only in controlled and supervised situations.

How do I clean a plastic muzzle with a leather strap?

Clean the plastic with a damp cloth and mild soap. The leather strap can be cleaned with a dry cloth or a leather cleaner. Do not submerge the strap in water or use bleach. Air dry it, away from direct heat.

Is it suitable for aggressive dogs?

Yes, this muzzle is a safety tool for dogs prone to biting. However, it is not a substitute for behavioral training. Combine it with positive reinforcement training sessions supervised by a professional.

Can I use a muzzle on a puppy?

Not recommended for puppies under 6 months old, as their snout is still growing. Wait until your dog reaches its adult size to choose the appropriate size. Consult your veterinarian if you have any questions about your pet's development.
