WHERE TO PURCHASE
MAKE & MATERIAL
Greyhound muzzles come in all shapes, colours, materials, and sometimes sizes (though still limited to certain types).
Muzzles like Birdwell, don pare and some TMS sizes are the largest greyhound style muzzles you can get. They are made from either hard plastic or a softer silicone. These usually have stool guards to fit as they are considered a 'kennel' muzzle, not a racing muzzle. The lightweight racing muzzles you see usually are wire or flexible/lightweight plastic like pictured. They prevent nipping whilst running but are not usually an excellent choice for more determined biters.
Most muzzles you find will be plastic/wire with either PVC, wire or nylon straps. Sometimes, the straps will be too small for normal-sized dogs, but the basket will fit, requiring some strap mods.
