We will gladly exchange a muzzle for a different size but we cannot pay shipping on muzzle returns and exchanges. We hate to have to take this position but the number of returns has forced this policy.

We do everything we can to help customers determine what size muzzle to order. We have produced a streaming video (HOW TO MEASURE YOUR DOG FOR A MUZZLE) and we are happy to offer phone consultation.

Even with all of this help, it can still be difficult to pick the correct size. The only fool-proof way of not making a mistake is to either bring the dog to our office or do the best you can with measurements and order several different sizes, then return the muzzles that don't fit. With luck, you should end up with the correct size muzzle. The only downside to this approach is you will have to pay shipping charges to return the muzzles that didn't fit your dog.

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.

For help in learning how to size your dog for an ultra Baskerville muzzle, we have an instructional video here and a written article here that go into greater detail.

Sizing

There are a few things you need to know about sizing a muzzle for your dog:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Sizing Chart (inches)

The Ultra Baskerville Muzzle is bendable/pliable so width may adjust some.

Muzzle Size Muzzle Length Muzzle Circumference Muzzle Width Muzzle Height
12.25"7.5"2"3"
22.75"9.5"2.75"3.75"
33"10.5"3"4.25"
43.25"12.25"3.25"4.5"
53.75"14"3.75"5.25"
64"15"4.25"5.75"

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 bought this muzzle for our Cairn terrier, Rocky, who through a series of homes before us learned to be aggressive and will bite if he feels threatened. And because he can't seem to distinguish between accidental hurt and purposeful hurt, our family and friends were subject to being attached if they accidentally hit him with their feet (which was likely because he loves to be around people and always gets in the way) making a muzzle a necessity. The video for acclimating a dog to the muzzle was priceless and really worked. He was using it without objection within a day. Now Rocky wears his muzzle whenever we have people over and I also use it for our daily walks and for vet visits. I have two other dogs, including another Cairn, and we have had problems with loose dogs in our area when we walk so having Rocky muzzled keeps fights from occurring. I purchased this muzzle in the tan color and it blends with Rocky's color, making it a little less noticeable. It's great because he can pant, drink water and get treats all while wearing the muzzle. We are very satisfied with this muzzle and both our vet and our dog sitter have approved of it as well.

Nice job on the ultra design. My dog can longer nip or bite people. What a comfort for me when she is around other people. You have to make sure the unit strap is tight enough behind the ears, otherwise she can pull it off. This only happened once. (my fault, not the product.) this muzzle seems to be comfortable for her, and it seems to give me better control of her when walking. It also lets other people know that she may not be approachable.

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.

I purchased after much thought and trepidation, a Baskerville muzzle for my dog, Rupa. Rupa is a dog who will not, and I mean NOT let anyone clip her toenails. I was wasting money and impacting her health with constant short trims that only pissed off my vet and groomer and traumatized my 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!!!!

My staffy chewed right through his muzzle would not recommend for a strong dog.

I am using it to keep my dog from licking his wounds, but I will be using it on public walks to keep the overly aggressive public from being bit because they want to pet my dog. The muzzle is lightweight and easy to clean. After some adjustments I found a nice fit for Tucker. He seems to like it better than the cone of shame.

I just wanted to praises Leerburg on a product and an online video. I have a rescued GSD that is dog and people aggressive. I recently purchased the Baskerville muzzle. After watching the online video "Conditioning your Dog to a Muzzle," I was able to take my dog out for a walk with it on after 2 days. Obviously it is not his favorite thing but with some slight leash correction I was able to have him ignore it in 10 minutes or less. Thank you for providing top quality products and videos. I am a pet owner and not a trainer but Leerburg has helped me IMMENSELY.

I LOVE our Baskerville muzzles! We have two adult Malinois and a Siberian Husky/Bulldog mix along with a parade of Military Working Dog foster puppies from the Lackland afb breeding program. All of these dogs learn to wear this muzzle. For example, we always muzzle for nail trims just in case I make a mistake and quick the dog. I try not to, but with thick black nails, it can happen.

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.

Okay, I really do not believe in muzzles however, my dog is to aggressive out in public and would jump at other dogs. This muzzle is perfect for that safety. I know he cannot bite anybody or another dog. He can drink, pant, and eat. He can even carry his favorite furry toy. My dog is a mutt, part lab, shepherd, kita, and everything else. He is about 70 lbs with a big head. The only down part about the muzzle is the strap that goes over his head. I can't seem to make it tight enough, when I do it lies too close against his nose. I have a size 5. I had to cut the strap to make so it does not dangle in his face. My dog now plays with other dogs and I do not worry that he will bite. Great muzzle and will recommended for anyone who fears that their dog may bite. My dog did get used to it and now knows when it goes on he is going for a play date and loves it. - Chesapeake Beach, Maryland

I recently purchased an Ultra Baskerville Muzzle and it's a great product. My dog hardly cares that she has it on. She can receive treats, drink, and pant yet cannot get into trouble. It fits securely but comfortably and it is virtually impossible for her to get it off - in fact she hasn't even tried! She accepted it from day one.

Thanks!

This is a very nice muzzle! My German shepherd is a size 6; he has a longer muzzle than the recommended size 5. It is very sturdy and a well fitting muzzle. This is a very open muzzle and allows maximum airflow. My dog has no problem eating or drinking with this muzzle on. Even if you don't have an aggressive dog this is a nice muzzle to have around in case of an emergency (better safe than sorry).
