A well-fitted muzzle prevents your furry friend from picking up harmful objects, deters biting in stressful situations, and even helps manage aggressive behavior during training sessions. Especially with such breeds it is useful to accustom him to a muzzle early, so that it can be used, if necessary, without stress for the dog.Another reason is to stop the dog from eating things they shouldn't when you can't keep a close eye on them.

If your dog's nose length and circumference fall into different sizing categories, please use the nose length measurement to determine the best size.
