Sometimes even the best behaved dog is required to wear a muzzle (for example to the vets) while some breeds must wear one due to legislation (Dangerous Dogs Act 1991). The Baskerville basket wide fit dog muzzle has been designed with your dog in mind and the range of sizes allows you to select the one which will be most comfortable and unintrusive to your pet. With this dog muzzle you can enjoy piece of mind while your dog is enjoying their walks.

This unique material allows the Muzzle to be reshaped to a custom fit in hot water.The humane basket design ensures the dog’s welfare by allowing them to pant, drink and play. With an improved padded nose piece and a secure easy-to-adjust neck strap, all dogs can be comfortable wearing their muzzle, keeping dog owners happy and confident in all situations.

This muzzle can be used in stressful situations, visiting vets and groomers, or new situations such as travelling on public transport or meeting new people.

The Wide Fit Muzzle can be HEAT SHAPED using warm water to fit DIFFERENT DOG NOSE SHAPES. See fitting guide for more info and to find the BEST SIZE for your dog.

Please ensure that you measure your dog before ordering as every dog (like humans) are different sizes. To get the length measurement measure the distance from the tip of the nose to the base of the nose just below the eyes. To get the width measurement measure around the circumference of the widest part of the nose which is usually just below the eyes. This is illustrated in one of the pictures on the listing. The length measurement is the most important when selecting a muzzle size.

Size 1: 4cm x 28cm (1.5″ x 11″)

Size 2: 4.5cm x 32cm (1.75″ x 12.5″)

The manufacturer has provided the following answers to common questions about the wide fit baskerville muzzles:

1) What is the right muzzle size for my dog?

Please use the sizing guide on this page in the Image Gallery to determine which sizing category your dog falls into. If your dog’s nose length and circumference fall into different sizing categories, please use the nose length measurement to determine the best size.

2) How do I custom shape of the baskerville muzzle for my dog?

Firstly, place the muzzle in hot tap water for 1 minute. Take the muzzle out of the water and when it is safe to touch, use your hands to shape the muzzle basket to suit your dog. Cool in cold water to lock in the shape. and then try the muzzle on your dog to check if it is the right fit. If necessary remould the muzzle again until it is right. Please note you may need to reshape the muzzle every so often as the material will return to its original shape over time.

3) How do I acclimatise my dog to wearing a muzzle ?

It’s important to remember that for your dog having a new training aid on their head / face will feel unusual for your dog and it is perfectly normal reaction for them to try and remove it. We encourage you to help your dog acclimatise to the muzzle by using positive associations methods. This can be through using treats to encourage your dog to place their nose into the muzzle and placing the muzzle on the dog for a few seconds, then taking the muzzle off and rewarding immediately. Build up the length of time the muzzle is on slowly, so your dog has time to adjust. If your dog is trying to take the muzzle off, try to distract them with a treat or their favourite toy to stop this behaviour. In the early days of acclimatising your dog we strongly recommend you use the collar loop for increased security and stability and minimise muzzle movement if your dog tries to remove it.

4) How long can a Baskerville muzzle be worn?

Due to the Baskerville basket style design, our muzzles can be worn for longer periods e.g. for daily dog walks, as the dog can pant and drink at all times with the muzzle on. However, even with Baskerville muzzles we do not recommend leaving these on your dog for extended periods of time unless absolutely necessary e.g. your dog is aggressive even at home. We recommend, as with all our products, to fully supervise your dog while they are wearing the muzzle from both a safety and welfare perspective. In the early days of muzzle training this will also ensure your dog does not remove the muzzle and potentially chew the product.
