BARKLESS Dog Muzzle, Basket Muzzle for Biting, Chewing and Scavenging, Humane Cage Mouth Cover, Perfect for Grooming and Training Medium, Large Aggressive Reactive Dogs

Mi perro tiene casi 5 años y pesa 30kgs. Es mestizo entonces no puedo decir más que es talla mediano a grande, como un Husky chaparro tal vez. Había comprado un bozal rígido marca Baskerville y le quedó enorme aunque me guié según su tabla. Aquí me guié más por la lista de razas sugeridas y elegí una talla M. Mi perrito es un poco narizón pero su cabeza es pequeñita (no como la de un labrador o un golden, por ejemplo). Le quedó perfecto! Las dos correas se ajustan, y la que pasa por el medio de los ojos ayuda a que no se lo quite tan fácilmente (si lo dejo sin supervisión, sí podría). Yo buscaba esto porque mi perro come todo lo que encuentra, entonces lo usamos en nuestras caminatas de 30-60 minutos. El bozal le permite jadear perfectamente! Y el material es como goma rígida o casi como caucho (NO es silicona super suave o moldeable) entonces no logra pescar basura cuando se la encuentra. Es fácil de limpiar y no le lastima su carita. Lo recomiendo mucho

This is going to be a long review since I’m pretty passionate about my increased quality of life as a result of these, so hopefully this can provide insight into how these can help others in similar situations (though they’re a pretty self-explanatory and common sense product). I also need to open this with the footnote that my dogs are NOT aggressive (they’re really the opposite), so I will not be able to speak on the efficacy of these muzzles with regards to protecting yourself or others from an aggressive dog. I also haven’t experienced a lot of barking with the muzzles, so I won’t be speaking on that either. Where these muzzles are potential life savers for my dogs are with their anti-scavenging design, which prevents my dogs from eating anything and everything they can find on the ground outside specifically. My dogs have always been light scavengers at best, picking up little wood chips, sticks, food scraps, etc., but over the past year or so it’s devolved into something that has pretty drastically decreased my enjoyment of taking them on walks or just outside in general. They are now chronically looking to eat anything they can get in their mouths, including poop, larger sticks, dirt, leaves, as well as more lethal objects like rocks, plastic, small pieces of metal (like a metal barrette), etc. (the latter objects being my main point of concern for obvious reasons). I have spoken to vets about this change in behavior and there isn’t an underlying or immediate cause for concern, so I just needed to just try to sway them from continuing to do so (since they likely just got in the habit of doing this and need to unlearn it). It all came to a climax when my mini golden doodle got ahold of a ball of food-waste Saran Wrap hidden in the grass (so I didn’t notice it until she already had it in her mouth), and this led to a very expensive emergency clinic visit involving inducing vomiting to retrieve the plastic. They were unable to find the plastic and we were all convinced I had just misunderstood what I saw her eat, until SEVERAL weeks later when the Saran Wrap finally successfully passed through her digestive system in its entirety and came out the other side. To say we were all shocked was an understatement, and more than anything we felt incredibly lucky that it didn’t cause fatal intestinal blockage. This was my final straw, and I knew this outdoor behavior needed to come to an end. I decided to give these cage muzzles a try since their open design meant there was no restriction of air flow, and the design also meant they were able to pant freely without me needing to worry about them overheating when out on walks in the summer. The sizing in the product descriptions seems pretty reliable as well, as they fit my dogs’ snouts very well. They seem very high quality and I’m not worried about them breaking or deteriorating any time soon. The straps are very easy to adjust to your dog’s head as well, so you can get a perfect fit. They didn’t love the sensation of the muzzles at first and tried taking them off during the first wear, but by the second and third time wearing them it had already become second nature for them and they seemed to completely ignore the muzzles altogether. Most importantly, THEY WORK. There’s a center piece of caging that runs vertically in front of their mouth that prevents them from picking up objects on the ground, even if they try their best to get ahold of it. I can take them outside and let them roam freely and sniff around and I don’t have to worry about them eating things they shouldn’t that are out of my line of sight. I still watch them closely as always, but the amount of weight that has been taken off my shoulders knowing we can focus on enjoying our walks, exercise, and exploration/enrichment has made a night and day difference in my everyday life. Knowing my dogs can enjoy the outdoors again without unknowingly ingesting something that could cause serious health complications has unexpectedly been one of the greatest gifts in recent memory. If you’re experiencing scavenging problems with your dog(s) like I have, I would highly recommend trying these muzzles out (or “masks” as I like to call them, since “muzzle” can sound aggressive sometimes). I will be excitedly using these without fail every time we go outside.

Great product

Muy recomendable! La talla,calidad y precio todo muy bien

Great product. Not invasive for our dogs. They were not bothered at all wearing them. Easy to take on and off.
