Life with a dog agressive dog...

I am thinking of meeting people who do not have dogs, those are the ones we meet a lot on our walks.

Cheapest I have found in size 9 (GS) is this one at £9.09 including delivery:

Can not find any black ones at all though.....they only do them in that silly beige colour?

Seen black in "ultra" but no idea if that would be any good...

My friend (with the beige doggy in the beach photos) uses an Ultra one now and don't think she's had any problems with it. It's a little bit bulkier but then again her dog does have a pretty big head! (you don't have to use it with the forehead strap though btw, incase that's the only way you've seen it photographed)

£9 for this style but no idea of the exact sizing (does say GSD size)/quality of them though

Found a piccy of friend's dog with the Ultra. Excuse the cowpat, we were 5 minutes from her car and she took her eyes off him for 5 seconds.. :rotfl:


Not too noticable at a distance and probably less so on a darker dog, not that you want it to be completely invisible as that kind of defeats the point of getting dog owners to keep their distance!

Thanks - prefer black one really but their design is so different, wondering which one is more comfortable?

Would love a RED, bright red one but hey.. Black would do...

The ultra one seems to have some sort of padding there? can not see it on the normal one... is that so?

My friend uses a Halti underneath the muzzle but the straps are a bit more padded I think. Not sure if the plastic has padding but I think it's a softer rubbery material than the regular Baskerville I think. Can't remember off the top of my head but I think the regular one has a strip of thin fabric padding on the bridge of the nose, but I've seen people pad it out with fabric or even a bit of Vetbed fleece bedding cut small and glued in place. The smaller size did rub Casper's nose a bit when I had to temporarily use Kiki's on him but his regular size doesn't rub, so as long as you get the right fit for Zara I wouldn't worry too much, it shouldn't rub.

There is usually a greater range of colours in whippet and greyhound muzzles if you think they would fit Zara. Baskerville do recommend a size 5 in Ultra for both GSD and Greyhound, so possibly could work..

Lots of the greyhound style have solid parts on the bottom though, so more difficult to feed her treats and may interfere with drinking. There are some without it though I think

Thanks - do not have ebay/paypal though so need to look somewhere else. But thanks for letting me know what to look for.



Ebay, youtube, facebook all blocked at work too.

Is it the normal ultra that needs to be size 5 when normal is size 9?

Sorry, can not see the links/read info.

The greyhound muzzle seller has an online shop so might take alternative methods of payment
