We ordered the custom Big Snoof muzzle, but it looked a bit too small so we returned it for a resizing. Just got it back today.

How's it looking?

I have a 75 lb pitbull mix who needs to wear a muzzle but he hates the one he has. I was looking at the muzzle movement but I'm not sure if the harry is the right size? I've don't measurements but he is less than cooperative when it comes to measuring the width of his face and so I'm worried it's inaccurate. Any suggestions on a different, better, muzzle or opinions on if the harry would fit him just based of experience/pictures of him? ​

She’s not thrilled with putting it on but has no issue when it’s on for her walks. This muzzle is worth the money. She can fully pant in it and smell and I can give her treats.

Someone called her a Hannibal Lector puppy the other day and I loved it!

Hi, I've got 2 quite small fox terriers. One has a longer italian greyhound-like mouth shape while the other's is shorter but thicker. They've started eating rabbit poo and anything they can find on their walks since we've moved house and they're at new parks now where they scavenge constantly. I've been looking at mesh options for muzzles because they look more comfortable- does anyone have any experience with those? I'll attach some pictures of types I've been looking at. Thanks in advance!

So i got my big snoof custom muzzle. I got watermelon design 😋 I never muzzle trained my dog but he basically just lets me put it on.

How you see it here this allows me to insert two fingers to behind his neck, however its almost right on his nose. What im curious is if i can just move the strap to the next hole and it will give him that space - however id then be able to insert more than just two fingers. Or is this an issue where I need to send it back to be adjusted? It doesnt seem to necessarily bother him and we only use it briefly at the farmers markets cause I dont know how he will be around other dogs like that. The only time he plays with it is when I first put it on if we are just standing there for a second ilhe will paw at it. But once we move he doesnt touch it again.

Thanks for any help.

Hi! This is Nala. She is an 10-11 year old black mouth cur mix (allegedly). I adopted her a little over 9 years ago from a humane society. I am looking for muzzle suggestions. I have zero background or knowledge on muzzles so I am coming here for help. I have measured her and The Muzzle Movement” does not have a size for her. Her measurements are: length - 9cm; width - 9cm; height - 7 cm. It will be for “long term” wear. I’ve looked at Mia’s Muzzles briefly but I’m not sure that she would drink water with that style.

Six weeks ago, something happened and she killed my 13 year old cat in our yard. They have never had issues. They sleep together. They’d lived together for 9 years. Absolutely random and heartbreaking. She has lived with 4 dogs and 3 cats for the majority of that time. She is NOT aggressive. She has never shown any interest in any of the cats, but the one she killed is the one that actually engaged with the dogs. The other two completely ignore them.

Here we are 6 weeks later.. and I walk out to find two dead kittens in our fully fenced 6’ privacy fence. So now, we are going to immediately get a muzzle. I realize custom ones take several weeks. I fully believe that these two incidents are related. All our animals are spayed or neutered. We don’t have a feral cat population near us. I have never even seen another cat in our yard. Of our three cats, Blue was the only one who was ever outside. Some random momma cat gave birth under our shed, and now my cat that I had for 13 years is dead, and my dog I’ve had for a decade has a question mark over her and our trust in her is broken.

I know this is not a reflection of Nala, it’s instinct. Dogs have been killing cats since the beginning. But I love her, I don’t want to abandon her, I don’t want to stress her out by re-homing, and I don’t want to risk any thing happening with our other cats. She deserves to kept safe too.

I’m sure this is more information than necessary in a group that is supportive of muzzling, but six weeks ago I was absolutely inundated with negativity for not immediately euthanizing or taking my dog to a shelter on a Facebook group that I turned to for advice. Lesson learned.

Thank you for your time if you’ve read this far!! And I appreciate any recommendations and advice!!

ETA: I would also love any resources and guidance on properly muzzle training!

Looking for a muzzle for a bite risk dog. My dog has to be able to get treats through it, be comfortable and affordable.

I have seen big snoof being recommended a lot but it’s very pricy and since I live in Denmark there’s shipping too.

Anything like that in EU?

Edit: Thanks for the recommendations all. I went with Muzzle Movement

I need to get a good basket muzzle, Metal or hard plastic, no cloth, mesh or soft rubber, for my little bully. She is a rescue from a extremely abusive situation, and while shes grown in leaps and bounds it has become clear she can never be trusted around people other than family without a muzzle.

As a professional dog groomer and trainer Im very familiar wirh nuzzles- but I honestly have never needed one for a small brachycephalic breed before.

I want her to have the ability to bark, and while drinking is a good option it is not necessary as she will never have it on longer than 10-15 minute intervals before being taken to a safe place I can remove it for several minutes for her to get any water or whatever she may need; sne will never need it in our home.

Picture of my beefy and sassy rescue girl with our other fur babies (whom she hardly tolerates but all tolerate her lol)

I’m wondering if/how I can get this to not sit so close to his eyes. I worry it’s loose enough to slip but tightening the back any more or using the forehead strap exacerbates the eyeball problem. The rivets are legit, but I’m not opposed to getting a tool and popping some new ones in if I can adjust it in anyway.

I’m hearing the Big Snoof siren call… my dude has such an inbetween head size for most cage muzzles. Just fatheaded enough to not be standard, but too long faced for the super round ones.

Hard to get a pic since I haven't desensitized her to the muzzle yet so was trying to get it on/ off as fast as possible!
