How to use

Place the muzzle over the dog's snout, adjusting the back strap until it's snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit a finger between the strap and the back of the dog's neck. Do not use it for more than 30-45 minutes at a time and remove it as soon as the dog is calm. Make sure the dog can open its mouth to pant. Consult the manufacturer's leaflet for detailed fitting and sizing instructions.

Indicated for

This muzzle is suitable for medium-sized brachycephalic dogs (e.g., English Bulldog, French Bulldog, Pug, Boxer, Shih Tzu) that require temporary restraint for safety during walks, vet visits, baths, or handling. It is not suitable for dogs with long snouts or very small/large sizes.

FAQ

Can my dog ​​drink water with a muzzle on?

Yes, this design allows the dog to drink water, as it leaves enough room to lick and swallow. However, it's advisable to remove it during long breaks so the dog can drink freely.

Is it safe for dogs with respiratory problems?

Absolutely. It's specifically designed for brachycephalic breeds, which typically have shorter airways. The ample frontal space prevents muzzle compression and allows for unobstructed panting.

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

Measure the circumference of your dog's muzzle just behind the nostrils and the circumference of their head behind the ears. Size M typically fits muzzle circumferences of 20-28 cm and head circumferences of 35-45 cm. If your dog falls between sizes, choose the larger one for a more comfortable fit.

How long does the muzzle last and how should it be stored?

With proper use and cleaning, it can last for several months. Clean it after each use with a damp cloth and let it air dry. Do not expose it to direct sunlight or heat sources. Store it in a dry place away from pets that might chew on it.

Can I use it for training or to prevent my dog ​​from eating things off the floor?

Yes, it's very useful for preventing your dog from eating unwanted objects or food during walks. It's also recommended for training sessions where control is needed without the risk of biting. Remember that it shouldn't replace dog training, but rather complement it.

Is it suitable for dogs that bite themselves?

This muzzle is not designed to prevent self-harm. If your dog bites or licks itself excessively, consult your veterinarian for appropriate behavioral or medical treatment. This muzzle is for external restraint only.
