Mollys Dad Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 It looks like we need a muzzle for Molly as she can get really $hitty with some other dogs when we are out. Obviously it needs to fit but how do you get the right size if you order online? Size1 /2 etc is meaningless. Do we need to measure round the back of the head and down to her nose? I thought of taking her to the local shop and trying some of them for fit but different manufacturers seem to use different scales. Apart from suggesting that I just buy one from an actual shop, are there any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I think going to try a specific brand in a shop to get the size, and then buying it online is a good idea (Probably cheaper too) All I can say is don't buy the pets at home own brand, their sizing is completely useless for halties (Havn't tried muzzles though), I had to get a small which is meant to be for Jack Russel's type dogs, and it was still too big for Mishka!

CARRINGTON Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 If you find out please let me know as we are looking for Balto to possible have one when we go to the dog park (as he likes to bully the little dogs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - that was the plan (and I have some Amazon vouchers making it even cheaper lol!) I don't really care what size 'they' call it, as long as it fits properly (easy in a shop, not so easy online) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be good if they were measured in inches / cm around the head or something? You know - a practical size? Dumb manufacturers...

With you being 'across the pond', it might be totally different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simhauu Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 It's also important to check what kind of muzzle will the dog accept. Ghost hated the textil muzzle when we had one, he would try to take it down at any opportunity I gave him. Then I bought a metal muzzle and he's really fine with it.
