To measure your dog's nose,
follow the two steps listed below.

~STEP ONE~

Measure the dog's nose length. This should be from the tip of the nose to 1/2 inch below the eyes. This should be taken along the top of the dog's nose as shown below.


Measuring Length of Muzzle

Example: The dog in this photo has a 4-inch nose length


~STEP TWO~

  • Measure the circumference of the nose. This should be done at the same point - 1/2 inch below the eyes - all the way around the mouth closed.

Measuring the circumference

Example: The dog in this photo has a circumference of about 11 1/2-inches

** It is VERY important that you give your dog enough room to pant while wearing the muzzle. The measurements shown in the chart above are the ACTUAL measurements of the muzzle itself. You need to be sure of TWO things before you choose your muzzle size.

FIRST: Your dogs "nose length" CAN NOT be SHORTER than the actual "muzzle length". If the muzzle is longer/deeper than your dog's nose length, the muzzle will be in the dog's line of vision.

SECOND: The muzzle's " circumference" MUST be LARGER than your dog's "nose circumference". We recommend between 1 -3 inches larger than your dog's measurement. If the muzzle is the exact same size as your dog's nose, the dog won't be able to pant. Its mouth won't even be able to open.

If you are unsure of the size to choose, measure your dog then call our office and we will do our best to help you decide the best syle and size of muzzle for your dog.

Testimonials on Leerburg's Muzzles

Review 1 on Leerburg's Muzzles:

May 23, 2008

I would like to let you know how happy I am with the muzzle I ordered from you.Shadow acts like he does not even have one on and we went to the dog park for the first time since he was attacked by the dog that ripped his nose and both eyes doing $600.00 of damage to his face not counting the emotional part. After he was attacked he showed signs of becoming aggressive to other dogs and being a pit bull I was afraid to try to socialize him with other dogs,I tried once and it was a dog walking on the sidewalk with me Shadow was on a choke collar on a lead and it was a disaster but yesterday with your muzzle I was able to let him off his leash and he acted like the old Shadow before the attack, I was amazed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much, I will always be grateful that I found youall.

Sincerely,
Patti and Shadow

Review 2 on Leerburg's Muzzles:

On 11/22 your helpful Telephone Person listened to my Standard Poodle's muzzle measurements and suggested Cocker and Bull Terrier wire muzzles

Both fit perfectly. So perfectly that Benedict, my SP, accepted both without fuss, and has been wearing them -- one at a time -- also without fuss. (Yes, he is a tolerant dog, but he HATED the Halti.)

Although Benedict has tried to munch his way around the house wearing the muzzle, so far he has not picked up anything to precipitate another culinary disaster.

Thanks!

Sally
