Best muzzle on the market November 17, 2008
Eclectico (Dallas, TX United States)
This is really the very best muzzle on the market. It is very sturdy plastic, light weight, fits great and is very comfortable for the dog. It does the job without making him look like Hannibal Lechter. The dog can breathe and drink easily through it. And unlike the mesh muzzles, the dog doesn't feel like his snout has been duct taped. It has a collar-like snap at the back to lock/unlock the headstrap easily, which is a big deal, because very few dogs want to stand there and wait while you are buckling this kind of thing on their face...and unlike velcro, it can't pull off.
You do absolutely need to get the correct size, though. If it is too big, it will cut across the bottom of their eyes. Also, the piece of felt on the inside of the nose arch has a tendency to wear off. I've glued replacements on, but it probably needs to be something more durable and flat (so as not to obstruct the dogs vision...maybe temprapedic foam.)
One modification I have made is with a pair of wire cutters. I cut 2 squares out of the very end of the grill. It already has a snap on grill on the inside for when I want the whole thing intact, but with the little piece cut out and the inside grill removed, my dog can eat his kibble through the muzzle but still can't bite anyone. This really is a godsend when you take a dog that acts unpredictably on a trip with kids, or to get his hair done, or to the vet.
To get the dog used to the muzzle, before ever putting it on the dog, I use it like a bowl, inserting the inside grill and filling the muzzle with dog kibble. The dog eats out of it like a bowl and learns to associate it with food and not be afraid to stick his snout in it. Later, when it is used as a muzzle, the smell of dog food encourages him to wear it.
