Bosco is a one year lab and he eats everything off the floor! My wife and I have had trouble getting him to stop but he’s very stubborn, we try our best with having treats and telling him to leave it but he still does it. The last couple of days(4) Bosco has had diarrhea. I took him to the vet and the bill wasn’t too pleasant, they put him on RCVHN GI K9 (15 cans) and a Maropitant (Cerenia) 10mg/mL/mL injection. Looking for advice on how to deal with him eating things off the floor. I’m considering getting a muzzle to help with this situation. If anyone has any suggestions and advice please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Hi all! Looking for suggestions for muzzles for my greyhound, ideally in Canada or easier/cheaper to get to Canada - though more expensive or outside Canada will also do in a pinch. Her rescue organization gave us one, but I have no idea what I've done with it 😅

This is specifically for introducing/living with a cat (I am very aware of the dangers and will take it slow, they won't be alone together to start, we have plans if they simply can't cohabit, etc) so a suggestion for a safer muzzle for that is welcome.

Hi! Bought a size 23 Big Snoof Gear for my dude, Frank, but he has some funny proportions so I can’t tell if this fits properly. The neck strap is on the tightest and the nose strap is the furthest out (I thought he needed more distance from his snoot to the end of the muzzle but may have been wrong). My concern is the points where it connects to his jaw- not sure how it’s supposed to fit there and if it’s too tight. Might just need to get a custom. Any help appreciated! Sorry for the sub-par pics hes a wiggle worm.

So my 6m Malinois/Husky mix has gotten his first muzzle! It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time and wish I started earlier, but my husband is traumatized since we had to muzzle our last dog when he was getting euthanized. We finally decided it was time, but are taking it slow because of my husband.
I got a size basket muzzle variety pack on amazing just for temporary and training purposes until he’s full grown, but I think it looks good! We did a short training session with his favorite treat put at the end of it and I let him put his snout in. I didn’t wanna force him and not make it a positive experience. He did really well and I made sure to give him treats after and lots of pets during and after too! Any advice or constructive criticism is helpful and appreciated!! I’ve never used a muzzle so this is very new to me :)

Forgot to add: for now it’ll be used for short term things until he is fully used to it. When that happens he will have it on for grooming sessions at the groomers bc he’s been rejected twice. He loves baths tho, just not the groomers! (If you have any advice on that too I’d love it)

I just got my dog a Leerburg muzzle. Polymer Coated Wire Muzzle - #16C - 3.75 x 13 to be exact. Looking for input on fit. I feel like it will dig into her eyes. TIA!

I've done so many adjustments at this point, I'm losing my mind. She seems comfortable in it, I'm just concerned I can't seem to get it far enough from her nose! I also can't fully figure out the 'tilting' aspect... The neck part is not too tight, the head strap is loose (and even when it's hanging free, it still tilts/pulls up), and if the 'collar' part is looser, it's pressing on her nose.

I'm also going to email Mia's Muzzles directly, I've heard they can help with fit issues but figured asking here as well wouldn't hurt!

i’m wanting sort of a basket style. she’s not really a bite risk but she is pretty uncomfortable having her nails trimmed by the vet and even more so by me with a dremel.

and maybe a smaller training size for the younger boy? i want to desensitize him as well because i know this breed can be pretty daunting & i want to ensure their safety at the vet !

Had a custom biothane muzzle made for my newly adopted Pomeranian with grooming trauma. Hoping this will help her while working with a groomer to work through her trauma.

Bought the Rex size from the Muzzle Movement, the smallest size possible and im not sure on how it looks. Her measurements didnt fit exactly with any of their muzzles so I just went with the closest match. It's definitely quite narrow around her cheeks, which can be adjusted by boiling but I don't know if the rest is just too big anyways.

She's a 15kg dog, a supermutt, I was surprised she was in the smallest size and now even more shocked its too big.

What do you guys think? Return or try make it work?

Hello! I have a muzzle from Muzzle Movement for my two year old golden retriever who had to have surgery two times after eating objects on walks he shouldn’t. The last time it was an entire tennis ball!

I noticed today that he has a pretty deep gash on the side of his face from his muzzle. I’m not sure if it was from it rubbing against his face or excessive use but, either way, I’m wondering if I need to readjust his muzzle or purchase another brand together (eg. Mia’s Muzzles?).

Any help would be very much appreciated.

My dobie has a long snout, and I found this one, but I don't know if there might be a better option that isn't metal? Thanks!

Here’s their dog :3

She can be food aggressive and also bites/tugs on the leash during walks. Trying to break her of it.

So happy with my Big Snoof custom muzzle. Did a hike with my border collie and it worked like a charm. She’s not bothered by the muzzle at all.

Maybe a bit tight on the cheeks?
