Today's Q&A from the Archives

I need a muzzle for my 6 month old puppy because she eats plastic bags when we let her run off leash. Which one do you recommend?

Hello Cindy, my 6-months old puppy eats plastic bags when she finds them in the (only) field she can run off-leash. She already swallowed one and we caught her trying on several more occasions. As an alternative to keeping her leashed at all times, since she does need to run some (GSP), the vet recommended a basket muzzle. Which one do you recommend that would prevent her from eating things? Thanks.

Today's Q&A

Cindy's Answer:

Which one we would suggest depends on her size and measurements. If her measurements work for the Baskerville, I really like it for issues like this. It's also relatively inexpensive so as she grows if you need to size up it's not cost prohibitive. We also have some nice wire basket muzzles but for a young dog that has some growing to do, I like the Baskerville if one of the sizes work for her.

Here is a link to get directions on how to measure her. We need nose length and circumference. Learn More about Muzzle Fit

Let us know if you need help picking out the right size!
