The Baskerville Classic Basket Muzzle comes with an additional guard insert to prevent food and wildlife scavenging on walks, eating rocks, coprophagia and wound licking after surgery. The basket design ensures the dog's welfare by allowing them to pant, drink and play. With an improved padded nose piece and a secure easy-to-adjust neck strap, all dogs can be comfortable wearing their muzzle, keeping dog owners happy and confident in all situations.

What is the right muzzle size for my dog?

Please use the sizing guide on this product page to determine which sizing category your dog falls into. If your dog's nose length and circumference fall into different sizing categories, please use the nose length measurement to determine the best size.

How do I acclimatise my dog to wearing a muzzle?

It's important to remember that for your dog having a new training aid on their head / face will feel unusual for your dog and it is perfectly normal reaction for them to try and remove it. We encourage you to help your dog acclimatise to the muzzle by using positive associations methods. This can be through using treats to encourage your dog to place their nose into the muzzle and placing the muzzle on the dog for a few seconds, then taking the muzzle off and rewarding immediately. Build up the length of time the muzzle is on slowly, so your dog has time to adjust. If your dog is trying to take the muzzle off, try to distract them with a treat or their favourite toy to stop this behaviour.

How long can a Baskerville muzzle be worn?

Due to the Baskerville basket style design, our muzzles can be worn for longer periods e.g. for daily dog walks, as the dog can pant and drink at all times with the muzzle on. However, even with Baskerville muzzles we do not recommend leaving these on your dog for extended periods of time unless absolutely necessary e.g. your dog is aggressive even at home. We recommend, as with all our products, to fully supervise your dog while they are wearing the muzzle from both a safety and welfare perspective. In the early days of muzzle training this will also ensure your dog does not remove the muzzle and potentially chew the product.
