Muzzle for dog

Jo4

I want a muzzle for our dog and was told there is a few different ones which you can buy. We have an alsation and she just isn't that friendly with strangers. What is the differences in muzzles and what one should I buy and which one should I definitely not? Any advice please?

Hi, we have a muzzle for our border collie as he chews the car on car journeys. We have a Mikki muzzle. Mikki's strong nylon fabric muzzle is soft and flexible and features an adjustable strap with "quick-fit" catch. Inhibits biting, chewing and barking but still allows panting and drinking. See https://www.petplanet.co.uk to buy one or e-bay have some on sale. You can also buy basket type muzzles which are made of leather but these tend to be more suitable for dogs with a wide muzzle like a rottweiler.

All the best

For advice on types of muzzles, you could try the Training & Behaviour Board on Dog Rescue Pages. Its main aim is to rehome rescue dogs, but there is great advice on there too, plenty of knowledgable people.

They'll also be able to tell you where is best to get them from.
