Dogs don’t care what they look like – that’s a human thing. Dogs only care about having a comfortable muzzle that fits them properly. A dog muzzle should be comfortable, well-fitting and offer plenty of room for your dog. You should also make sure that it doesn’t irritate your dog’s skin and allows excellent airflow, so they don’t overheat while wearing it. Not all dogs that wear muzzles are dangerous. Muzzles can be used for other positive reasons, such as to protect our furry friends from picking up potentially harmful foods or substances. Most dogs are curious and love to sniff out things during walks – but a muzzle can help to stop them from picking up potentially harmful foods or substances. A suitable muzzle shouldn’t restrict your dog’s line of sight. It’s always key for pet owners to slowly introduce a muzzle in a positive way, to help their dog become confident and happy wearing it.
