Ancol Plastic Muzzle Black / Red Sz 4

I measured and opted for the closest size. Was a bit surprised how small it looked, but the fit is perfect! Only for stopping opportunist theft in certain situations. Should do the job perfectly.

Nice muzzle but just doesn’t work for my dog just takes it off even when tightened. Not sellers fault just not right for my dog breeds

This is the first basket type muzzle that I have found that fits my dog. Most sites tend to recommend the Baskerville Ultra muzzle, but my german shepherd cross has a long snout so those do not fit her well at all. This muzzle comes in multiple sizes, gives her enough room to drink, has large enough holes at the front to still feed her treats, and has nice felt cushioning for her snout. The only criticism I have is that I think the buckle could be a little sturdier.

The clip that festens broke off within 3 mins of the dog trying to pull it off. Have attached a sturdier clasp, was bought to be used on small dogs for a short length of time. As a dog boarder far too many dogs come my way with overgrown and neglected nails, every dog has nigh on tried to bite me when cutting their nails. So bought this to ensure my safety but in the long run make their lives more comfortable. As the most recent a beagles were curled right round. This did the job no bite and cut all her nails within 2 mins. I wouldn't use this on a long term basis for a dog that bites. Just isn't sturdy enough but for my needs was fine.

We bought this muzzle for our rescue border collie for her own protection really so she was not put in a situation with a new dog where she felt like she needed to react. We were worried that her measurements put her between sizes as she has a very long snout but a very small circumference so we went for the larger size 5 thinking that it would probably need to be returned as too big around the nose but were pleasantly surprised to find it was a perfect fit. Length wise the muzzle was just about the right length but we removed the insert and now it is perfect. It was very lightweight and easy to fit and the dog was not bothered by it at all - I think that may be because she is used to a figure 8 head collar being around her face. It allows her to open her mouth and pant without restriction. Seems like good quality and could definitely save her from reacting and causing harm whilst we get her used to a new dog as she can snap when anxious. A very good value muzzle and, for us, a great fit if you read the sizing instructions and remember to buy according to the nose length.

Bought for our 43kg black lab who eats 'everything'. He's been wearing 'Baskerville' size 9 muzzles for years but it's been very noticeable cos it's beige and he's a very friendly dog. Thought a black muzzle would be better, BUT this Ancol version is slightly smaller both in length and depth so is too short (rubs his nose) and limits him opening his mouth. Also the nose guard at the front is not removable so it's more difficult to clean and the strap & clip are flimsier. Have used it once but he also found it very easy to remove! Unfortunately it's back to a beige 'Baskerville'!! There's no way this would fit a Great Dane or St Bernard!

I do rate this muzzle. It’s a bit flimsy and prone to breaking but the upside of this is that it is lightweight, unlike other brands, and when dealing with a dog as small as the wearer of this it is totally unnecessary for the cage to be too sturdy and super tough and therefore heavy and make the dog uncomfortable. The buckle is a bit fiddly again because it is flimsy and tends to splay out. I’m on my third muzzle now because they are not well made and break however it is the comfiest brand I have found for my dog and it will last ok if you are careful with it and they are cheap to replace, so that makes sense with the not so great quality. A shame the buckle isn’t a little better. I like the padding too. My dog is a 10kg dachshund cross with a long nose and wears size 4. He doesn’t love having it on but will forget about it on walks. If I had a heavier and more dangerous dog I wouldn’t go for this brand but something stronger.

Sizing a muzzle is complicated. For newbies, a properly fitted muzzle often looks too big, but it shouldn’t hold their mouth shut, it should allow a FULL pant. My boy is 10kg/22lbs and has a long poodle nose. He wears a size six, which is 25cm around the end of the muzzle and 9.5cm long on the nose from in front of the eyes to the end of the nose, these are OUTSIDE MEASUREMENTS, listed on the site. You will need to add to these measurements when choosing a size. The actual INSIDE MEASUREMENTS on ours is 20cm around x 7cm long. Take measurements from directly in front of the eyes to the end of the nose. And a measurement around the muzzle, just behind the nose, while they are holding a ball (to simulate a full pant). It is essential to have the muzzle big enough for a full pant for safety. It’s better, safer, to go too big than too small because of risk of overheating. While wearing the muzzle, there should be about 1/2 - 1 inch at the end of the nose when standing normally because of the insert. The neck strap is fairly long, and adjustable. We really like this muzzle and it works well for our scavenger boy, but it is not appropriate for a reactive or bite risk dog, for that you really want something more sturdy, such as a metal muzzle. This muzzle is not appropriate for flat nosed dogs or ones with overly square heads. Don’t forget that it takes time for training. You can start practicing right away with yogurt cups or similar, by smearing a little peanut butter inside to get them used to putting their nose in it. Remember also to check regularly and size up if you have a puppy. I also recommend the FB group Muzzle Up, Pup! They have instructions on how to choose the right type of muzzle for your needs (bite risk, compulsive eater, etc), how to measure, and tips for training. How big is your dog? Do they have a long nose, like a poodle or greyhound? Or a moderate nose, like a lab or golden? Lots of information and an understanding community.

These muscles work great

Tried 2 sizes, but my dog needs 5 sec to get it off when he really wants to. Not safe.

Cette muselière est très efficace pendant les promenades. Elle empêche le chien de ramasser et de manger des objets dans la rue, ce qui est essentiel pour sa sécurité. Très légère, elle ne gêne pas le chien et reste confortable même lors de longues sorties. La taille 7 convient parfaitement à un chien croisé Border Collie / Labrador d’environ 26 kg. Un petit point à améliorer : ajouter une protection en feutre à l’intérieur, sur l’avant de la muselière, pour éviter les irritations ou blessures au niveau du nez.

Bueno.
