How to use

Place the muzzle over the dog's snout, adjusting the back straps so it fits snugly but not too tightly. Ensure the dog can open its mouth slightly to pant. The leather strap attaches to the muzzle's ring for added control. Recommended use: during walks, vet visits, or situations requiring extra control. Do not leave it on for more than 30 minutes at a time without supervision. Consult your veterinarian if your dog shows signs of anxiety while wearing it.

FAQ

How do I know if size 3 is the right size for my dog?

Measure the circumference of your dog's muzzle just behind the whiskers, at the level of the nose. Size 3 is for muzzle circumferences of 25-30 cm. If your dog falls between sizes, choose the larger one and adjust the buckles.

Is it safe for brachycephalic dogs (like Bulldogs)?

Not recommended for short-muzzled breeds (Bulldog, Pug, Boxer) because the design may restrict breathing. Consult your veterinarian for specific alternatives.

Can I leave the muzzle on all day?

No. A maximum of 30 continuous minutes is recommended. Prolonged use may cause irritation or stress. Always supervise your pet while using it.

How do I clean the muzzle and leash?

The plastic muzzle should be cleaned with warm water and mild soap; dry it thoroughly. The leather strap should be cleaned with a damp cloth and left to air dry, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent cracking.

Does it help prevent the dog from licking wounds?

Yes, but that's not its primary function. To prevent licking, it's better to use an Elizabethan collar. This type of collar allows the dog to drink water, so it's not 100% effective at preventing licking.

Can it be used on puppies?

Yes, provided the puppy's snout is the appropriate size (size 3 for adult medium-to-large dogs). For small puppies, choose a smaller size.
