Even with all of this help, it can still be difficult to pick the correct size.

How to Measure Your Dog for a Muzzle
Baskerville Muzzle
Baskerville Muzzles are a very nice muzzle. The muzzle’s design has been created to combine maximum safety with comfort for the dog. The material is extremely tough and durable, yet malleable and soft to touch. The ergonomically designed safety strapping ensures the muzzle will always remain securely in place and features two additional points of secure attachment. The loop at the bottom is designed to attach to your dog’s regular collar and an optional over-head safety strap should ensure that even a canine Houdini cannot escape. The Ultra also has a secure metal buckle with pre-holed webbing, to ensure it is quick and easy to fit. The neoprene padding ensures it is snug and comfortable. As welfare is always paramount with our product design, the dog can pant, drink and eat through this revolutionary muzzle, which comes in six sizes to fit most dogs.

Sizing
There are a few things you need to know about sizing a muzzle for your dog:
- The muzzle should not touch the front of your dog's nose or snout the best option is to select a size 1/2 inches longer than the nose length. If the muzzle is too long, it will be pushed back on the dog's face and obstruct their line of vision.
- The muzzle's circumference must be larger than your dog's "nose or snout circumference." We recommend between one and three inches larger around than your dog's muzzle circumference measurement. If the muzzle is the exact same size as your dog's nose circumference, the dog won't be able to pant. It is very important that you give your dog enough room to pant while wearing the muzzle.
- In addition to length and circumference, owners of some breeds (i.e. the bully breeds or flat faced breeds) need to consider the width of their dog's jaw. It is easy to pick a muzzle size with the correct length but the muzzle may not be wide enough to fit the width of the jaw. Call or email our office if you have one of these breeds and need help.
There are several Facebook groups run by well-intentioned people who are telling dog owners to get these HUGE, HUGE muzzles. These folks claim these monster-sized muzzles allow a dog more room to pant, but fail to take several important factors into account. Poorly fitting, oversized muzzles come off far too easily--making this downright dangerous advice, especially if you have a reactive or aggressive dog.
The last thing someone in this position wants or needs is for a muzzle to come off their dog when it is needed the most. Our advice is to be very careful about listening to people who lack experience with aggressive dogs.
I have been involved in training police service dogs since 1985. I produced police K9 training videos on muzzle fighting. If you size a muzzle the way we explain your dog, it will have all the room it needs to pant when exercising.

Due to the muzzle shape and size of some breeds, it is not recommended that those breeds use the Ultra Baskerville Muzzle, as it will not fit them correctly. These breeds include: Boston Terrier, Bulldog, King Charles Spaniel, Lhasa Apso, Pekingese, St Bernard, Pug, and the Shih Tzu.

I've wasted money on other products, but this one is worth every dollar!! It gets 5 stars on my review. Looks like I'm going to keep my dog now.

Thanks Baskerville, your friend , Thisa the dog.
Rupa is a very wary dog with quite a bit of personal space. I only bought the muzzle on the remote hope that I could somehow train her to wear it. See, the muzzling caused her to totally lose it, out of all reason when she was trimmed. Once finally muzzled, she was already in full panic mode. Three grown men could not hold her.
I decided to try the Baskerville muzzle. Even measuring her nose for it took three tries, as she is seeing me come at her with a string. After it quickly arrived, I slooooowly began to use the training method described. I used home made liver jerky as a jackpot reward and trained her tirelessly each day. I'll never forget the first time I managed to slip that muzzle on her face. And consequent days that we trained, building up to the buckling, using peanut butter on the nose part. After some weeks, she would be my little baseball catcher and parade the house watching for a treat, her nails snagging the rug as she walked.
Yes, the day came when I did her nails, and yes, it was bad. However!!! She didn't bite me or anyone. She could pant and open her mouth to breathe. And guess what?? Next day I jiggled the treats and she lined up to be muzzled. THANK YOU, Ed!!!!
We watched the instructional video, "Conditioning You Dog to a MUZZLE" on this site and trained them all according to its clear, detailed directions. The dogs literally love these muzzles since they are closely associated with peanut butter.
One of our Mals can be unpredictably reactive so she wears her muzzle whenever she is in public where her triggers could occur. It keeps her safe, and this muzzle is comfortable for her to wear so she doesn't mind it.
Thanks!
