How to choose correct muzzle for the animal?

Choosing the right muzzle depends primarily on the shape of the animal’s snout and the situation in which it will be used. Our range includes muzzles designed for various needs – from short-term restraint during veterinary visits to models intended for everyday use.

Dog’s snout structure

One of the most important factors is the type of the dog’s skull:

  • Brachycephalic dogs – breeds with short snouts, such as pugs, French bulldogs, or Pekingese, require specially designed muzzles adapted to their unique anatomy

  • Mesocephalic dogs – breeds with medium-length snouts, such as Labradors or shepherd dogs

  • Dolichocephalic dogs – breeds with long and narrow snouts, such as greyhounds or collies

Choosing the right type of muzzle ensures greater comfort for the animal and safer use.

Purpose of the muzzle

Different types of muzzles are suited for different situations:

Muzzles for everyday use
They should be adjusted so the dog can breathe freely and pant, which is very important for its comfort.

Veterinary muzzles
These are intended for short-term restraint during examinations, procedures, or other stressful situations. They are not suitable for walks or prolonged wear.

Muzzles for cats
These are mainly used in veterinary clinics or during grooming procedures when it is necessary to safely secure the animal.

Proper fit of the muzzle

A well-fitted muzzle should:

  • stay securely in place on the animal’s head

  • not cause pressure 

  • allow free breathing (for walking muzzles)

  • be appropriate for the size and shape of the animal’s snout
