How to mesure dog to the muzzle
For a muzzle to serve its purpose and be comfortable for the dog, proper fitting is extremely important. To achieve this, you should take basic measurements of the dog’s muzzle.
1. Muzzle length
Measure the distance from the tip of the nose to the line of the eyes.
2. Muzzle circumference
Measure the circumference at the widest part of the snout (usually just in front of the eyes).
3. Fit
The muzzle should be secure but must not apply pressure.
For models intended for everyday use, a small allowance should be left so the dog can breathe and pant freely.
Keep in mind that different breeds have different muzzle structures — brachycephalic (short-snouted) dogs require specially designed models.
