Product Information

When there are no other options available, but you need to muzzle your dog, such as in an emergency or when your dog has been injured, you can make a muzzle from items you have at hand. Soft muzzles, also known as sleeve muzzles, usually hold the mouth closed and prohibit panting, and they can also be less effective at preventing bites. Your dog can still nip, but they cannot pant, they cannot really take treats, they cannot vomit and they put your dog at risk of overheating. As an individual who works with muzzles every day in a professional capacity, the above are safe, the below are not.

The Jafco muzzles are a fantastic option for vet visits, and for even socialisation visits with other dogs. Now when you try to muzzle your dog in a legitimate situation like an emergency, your dog will be even more scared and nervous. The only issue is the length from head to end of snout area, if I adjust it for my dogs snout length it seems too loose but If I keep it shorter its about an inch too small. Other dogs need a muzzle on visits to the vet, or when nail cutting becomes stressful but is nonetheless essential. In the vast majority of cases, you’ll know if your dog has worked something out, or you’re going to be alongside them guiding them and preventing your dog from going too far but disengaging your dog from the “problem” and removing them from the situation.Some dogs are unfortunately shameless hoovers on walks and pick up anything resulting in extreme forms of stomach upsets such as hemorrhagic gastroenteritis or colitis. A food guard is a good idea here, as poison killers can have serious consequences in such small dogs, even in small amounts. The muzzle sends a positive message to others so that they can interact with your dog with more ease.

We would recommend the Anti Scavenge Muzzle (Sizes 1-10) as this includes an additional plastic guard at the end of the muzzle to prevent eating of food waste.

Gradually build up the time your dog is wearing the muzzle for, starting with only a few seconds at first, so that your dog slowly gets used to the sensation of having it on. Using a muzzle will keep you and anyone assisting you safe from your dog’s uncharacteristic but understandable behavior.One common reason is to prevent the dog from biting when they're stressed or scared, like during a thunderstorm or a visit to the vet.
