The Right Height for Your Dog

Height is arguably the most important part of sizing your dog as this gives them the ability to pant/breathe/drink and live a normal and happy life. We recommend fitting to a full pant and ensuring you have a muzzle for every situation but some do choose to get something that fits
their regular pant instead.

Consider Your Dog’s Pant Size

No matter your dog's size they can have small, medium, large or sometimes what we call extreme pant sizes (usually seen in bully breeds where their mouths open very wide even with a smaller snout). How much height depends entirely on the dog itself, you cannot just “add 1-3 inches to
the closed mouth measurement” like most companies recommend for any dog and expect it to fit well. This is why we recommend measuring your own dog's full or regular pant and getting the proper height measurement as every dog is different.

The muzzle may look big in height until you see the dog panting in it

Well Fit Muzzles

A properly fitted muzzle should:

• Allow your dog to fully pant without being excessively tall/large

• Fit securely around the snout without pressing tightly against the sides

• Sit away from the eyes and not resting against the nose

• Leave room around the cheeks and chin to avoid restricting movement or causing rubbing

Also:

• If your dog only needs to pant lightly (e.g., during short outings,nail trims), a muzzle that fits their regular pant may be suitable.

• Muzzle width and length can often be adjusted, so a slightly too-small or too-large fit on paper/sizing charts may still work depending on the model and how handy you are with modifications.

• Some owners prefer a little extra height to accommodate seasonal changes or growing dogs. While we don’t recommend excessive oversizing, a slight increase in height can help ensure comfort during hotter months or growth periods.
