Muzzle for brachycephalic breeds (adjustable)

Adjustable brachycephalic muzzle has been designed for short-snouted dog breeds and very small breeds that require especially precise fitting of accessories. Thanks to its wide adjustment range, the product can be adapted both for everyday use and for situations requiring increased safety, such as visits to a veterinary clinic.

1. Fitting the muzzle

Before first use, the muzzle should be properly adjusted to the dog’s head.

• Place the muzzle on the dog’s snout so that it securely covers the mouth.

• Adjust the straps so the muzzle fits well but does not cause pressure.

• Make sure the dog can breathe freely and that the muzzle does not restrict natural head movements.

Thanks to its wide adjustment range, the muzzle can also be fitted to very small dogs, including miniature breed puppies.

2. Adjustment depending on use

The muzzle can be adjusted in two configurations:

For everyday use (e.g., during walks):
Set the snout circumference so the dog can breathe freely and pant. This ensures thermal comfort and natural behavior.

For veterinary handling or other difficult situations:
The muzzle can be tightened to increase the level of restraint during examinations or procedures.

3. Getting your dog used to the muzzle

To ensure comfort, it is recommended to gradually acclimate your dog to the muzzle.

• Let the dog get familiar with the muzzle by sniffing it.

• Put the muzzle on for short periods of time.

• Gradually extend the wearing time, rewarding the dog with a calm voice or a treat.

4. Safety guidelines

• Never leave your dog unattended while wearing a muzzle.

• Regularly check the fit as well as the condition of the straps and adjustment elements.

• If any damage is noticed, stop using the product immediately.

5. Cleaning and maintenance

The muzzle can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent.
After cleaning, allow it to dry at room temperature.
Do not dry on a radiator or in a dryer.

To ensure a muzzle fulfills its function and is comfortable for the dog, proper fitting is extremely important. For this purpose, basic measurements of the dog’s snout should be taken.

1. Snout length
Measure the distance from the tip of the nose to the line of the eyes.

2. Snout circumference
Measure the circumference at the widest part of the snout (usually just in front of the eyes).

3. Fit
The muzzle should be stable but must not apply pressure.
For everyday-use models, leave a small amount of extra space so the dog can breathe and pant freely.

Remember that different breeds have different snout structures—brachycephalic (short-snouted) dogs require specially fitted models.

Important information regarding muzzle use

Choosing the right muzzle and using it correctly is crucial for the animal’s safety:

• Veterinary and fabric muzzles are intended only for short-term use (e.g., during examinations or procedures)

• They should not be used during walks or physical activity

• A dog should not be left unattended while wearing a muzzle

• For everyday-use muzzles, ensure the dog can breathe and pant freely

A muzzle is a tool that increases safety, but it should always be used according to its intended purpose.

To ensure the animal’s safety and comfort, it’s worth avoiding the most common mistakes:

• using a veterinary muzzle during walks

• fitting it too tightly, restricting breathing

• leaving the animal unattended while wearing a muzzle

• choosing a muzzle that doesn’t match the shape of the dog’s snout

• using muzzles intended for short-term use for too long

A properly selected and used muzzle is not only about safety, but also about the animal’s comfort.

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
