FAQ

Can I use this muzzle to prevent my dog ​​from biting during walks?

Yes, the plastic muzzle is designed to prevent accidental bites, while still allowing the dog to pant and drink water. However, it should be used in conjunction with behavior modification training supervised by an ethologist or professional trainer.

Is it safe for dogs with anxiety or fear?

Muzzles can cause additional stress in anxious dogs. Gradual acclimation is recommended: put it on for short periods (5-10 minutes) at home with positive reinforcement, and never use it as punishment. If anxiety persists, consult a veterinary behaviorist.

How do I know if size 10 is the right size for my dog?

Measure the circumference of the muzzle at its widest point (just behind the whiskers) and the circumference of the neck. Size 10 fits muzzles of 25-30 cm and necks of 40-50 cm. If the muzzle is too loose or too tight, choose a different size. Always ensure the dog can open its mouth slightly to pant.

How long can the muzzle be worn without a break?

It should not exceed 30 continuous minutes under normal conditions. In warm weather or during exercise, reduce the time to 15-20 minutes. Remove it immediately if you observe excessive panting, heavy drooling, or attempts to scratch its muzzle.

Can it be washed in a dishwasher or washing machine?

No. Hand wash the muzzle with lukewarm water and mild soap, drying it with a soft cloth. The leather strap should be cleaned with a leather-specific product and should not be fully submerged in water. Do not use bleach or solvents.

Does this muzzle interfere with the intake of water or food?

The ventilated design allows the dog to drink water easily, but it should not be used during feeding. If you need the dog to eat with the muzzle on (for example, during rehabilitation), remove it and offer the food on a flat plate.
