A month ago I received my custom muzzle from Big Snoof. Beautiful, gorgeous work from them!! I shared it on here, but to my surprise only one person brought up concerns about it being a little too small (one of my measurements photos didn't capture exactly how much pant height he would need). So I reached out to Big Snoof for their opinion, and they agreed! I shipped it back to them, and a few weeks later I received the resized muzzle! They did add an additional color to my original order, but it also looks nice lol. Highly recommend!!

These pictures were taken just as we began our morning walk :)

We need muzzle recommendations, the traditional in store basket muzzles do not work.

Our girl would make Houdini proud, so we need something that will stay on and be comfortable when she is outside.

Stella is almost 1-year, she is Pyrenees/Anatolian around 90lbs and growing.

Background: Stella has Canine compulsive disorder, PICA, inflammatory bowel disease, allergies and anxiety. All of her issues make life really hard for her and our household.

She is on medication but we are still working on finding one that works.

We need a good muzzle so she can patrol the yard in the evenings because once it gets dark she really wants to go out. Please do not make suggestions in regards to health or vet, we know what’s wrong with her we just need solutions at this point 🩷

Hi!

Just to preface this I am actively training my dog not to eat stuff from the ground but until he is bullet proof I would like to use a tool to prevent him from doing so.

He is a havanese (around 6kg) so his face is quite small and I couldn't find a good fitting one in my surroundings so I did some research and found this? Not sure if it is good or not. I am worried he can't sniff or breathe properly. Does anyone have experience with this?

Or maybe someone knows where to get a small muzzle for a havanese sized dog? Preferably European seller?

Edit: he doesn't eat poop, only food items or dead animals.

I ordered this Big Snoof muzzle for my stranger reactive dog. After sending in measurements and photos, this was the standard size they recommended. Does it look okay? He can take treats through it. I guess it makes sense, but I didn't realize it would wiggle up and down? I've tightened the chin strap and can fit about 1-2 fingers under it. And the neck strap is now as tight as it goes.

We adopted a puppy about a month and a half ago and the shelter told us she came from a large scale hoarding situation. Now that she's both coming of age and getting more comfortable in her new home, we are starting to see some of her true personality come out and she is probably going to need to be a muzzle pup in her future. The trainer we are working with found her to be a little unpredictable.

She's 7 months old now, 43 lbs, and is half German shepherd so I imagine she is going to be considered large breed. As you can see, she has kind of a funky head shape (very noodly) and I am not sure a regular "off the shelf" muzzle is going to fit her. At least not when I compared her head to the muzzle I own for my other dog. I foresee a custom made one in her future. I really can't afford to buy one now and another larger one in the future since I've seen how pricey these things are.

Looking for advice for other large breed dog owners who started with puppies. I don't know how adjustable some of these nice brands are either (like big snoof and muzzle project) so not sure if they are future proof at all.

I didn't have to buy a muzzle for my other dog until he was a full fledged adult so I didn't have this problem.
