My dog's snout makes contact with the inside of the muzzle. Is this the proper fit?

Full Question:
Cindy,

I ordered your German Shepherd Wire Muzzle size medium. I received this today. It certainly exceeds my quality expectations and think it is a wonderful product. Previous to purchase I had emailed Stephanie with my dogs measurements as to the directions on Leerburg.com. They are as followed:

Muzzle length: 4 1/4"
Muzzle circumference: 11-1/2"-12"

My concern is that my dogs snout makes contact with the inside of the muzzle. Is this the proper fit? If you need me to snap some digital pictures I would be more than happy.

Thank you,
Marc
Cindy
Cindy Cindy's Answer:
It is ok if the dog’s nose touches the end of the muzzle. That is the reason for the plastic guard/insert in the base of the tip of the muzzle. However, it is not ok if the dog’s nose is ‘smashed’ into the end of the muzzle. If this is the case, then we need to exchange for a larger size muzzle.

If you would like to send photos, that would be fine or if you just want an exchange let me know.
