What are dog muzzles and why are they important
Dog muzzles are designed to provide safety and control in situations where extra reassurance is needed. Examples include visits to the veterinarian, travelling on public transport, busy urban environments or moments when a dog may snap due to stress, pain or fear. A good dog muzzle prevents unwanted biting behaviour without restricting your dog’s breathing. This is especially important during active moments such as walking or hiking with your dog, where external stimuli can increase. A muzzle not only creates calm and safety for the surroundings, but also gives you peace of mind as an owner, knowing your dog is safe for others as well as for itself.

How does a muzzle work and what should you look out for
A muzzle works by carefully restricting the dog’s mouth so that biting is not possible, while still allowing the dog to breathe and pant normally. In some cases, the dog can even drink, for example during a walk when combined with a travel water bottle. Choosing the correct size is essential: a muzzle should not pinch, rub or block the nostrils. Modern muzzles are designed with comfort in mind and can be introduced gradually. With positive conditioning, the dog experiences the muzzle as neutral or even comfortable, especially when combined with a well-fitting collar and a reliable leash.

Which muzzle is right for your dog
The right muzzle depends on the purpose, your dog’s character and its build. For short situations, such as a vet visit, a lightweight muzzle is often sufficient. For longer walks or mandatory situations on public transport, a well-ventilated basket muzzle is recommended. Always consider breed, muzzle length, weight and behaviour. During walks, you can combine this with a sturdy dog leash or a practical retractable leash, giving your dog controlled freedom of movement without losing control.
