Baskerville Ultra Dog Muzzle

Two young, bonded Fs who've both had lots of obedience training had a 3rd fight in the 4yrs they've been together. Bought these w the full understanding of proper introduction and use (takes time and LOTS of positive reinforcement). They're just about at the point where, for outside playtime only (which is vigorous and rough w these two), they'll not paw at them. They come off the moment everyone's back inside. Again, we're taking lots of time to make our dogs think something new and scary is something good and familiar. That all said, after careful measuring of each muzzle, these fit okay but are a bit...bumbly. Definitely use with a secondary collar, and plan on numerous fit adjustments.

Was hesitant to buy a muzzle because they look scary and uncomfy, but after needing one for the vet and using it at the park I feel so much safer knowing that she wont be able to significantly bite anyone/anything. It has the added bonus that people stay further away from us. (Our dog is pit/doberman mix @ 43 lbs) The tan, size 2 has a buckle with holes (like a belt) that goes around the neck and there’s also a spot to run her collar through. She hasn’t been able to slip it off, even though I don’t use the strap that goes between the eyes. From reading the other reviews, it sounds like I might need to buy a bigger one for long term use, but hopefully we can train out of reactivity in the long Was hesitant to buy a muzzle because they look scary and uncomfy, but after needing one for the vet and using it at the park I feel so much safer knowing that she wont be able to significantly bite anyone/anything.

My neighbor has a Belgian Malinois and had this muzzle. It worked great for his dog so I tried it. I have a Cane Corso. The size 5 is too small, so the size 6 was our only option to fit around his mouth. However, because of his short snout, he could not drink water and treating was also difficult. If they had a version for bit dogs with short snouts, I would have given this a much higher rating.

I ordered this before I knew anything about how a muzzle should fit… Now that I know better, this isn’t the best option. If your dog is a bite risk, this hard plastic muzzle is far from bite proof. This is my second Baskerville but first from Chewy. Despite being able to mold the muzzle to size and shape, I have not been able to find a fit that will allow for a full pant from my scottie, though the head and neck straps are almost too big in the size 4 I ordered. I will continue to use the muzzle to train and condition as I wait for a custom one to be made. I suppose it could work for dogs who are foragers or have short noses, but it is a little sad that this muzzle is often the first suggestion I ordered this before I knew anything about how a muzzle should fit… Now that I know better, this isn’t the best option.

Hi! Okay so before I got into the world of muzzles I bought this as my first. I have a bigger dog (lab/setter) 60 lbs. I got size 4 but that was totally wrong on my end. I did not know I'm supposed to leave some panting room. From my understanding, you want 1/2 inches above the length you measured and 3-4 inches above the width(please find out this info for yourself!). I also learned these are not totally bite-proof. Might work well for your needs - A smaller dog who doesn't need 100% bite-proof material. I gave it 3 stars because the company did not mention it was not bite-proof. The sizing was my fault. From my perspective, I do think these run a bit small.

Strong muzzle, but I was unable to accurately measure and unfortunately, they don't fit my dogs. Ordered size 2, probably need one size 3 and one size 4. They appear sturdy and worth the price, but unable to use. Go up at least 1 size from what you measure. Would have rated 5 stars if I could have gone by sizing directions.

This Baskerville muzzle is the best muzzle I have ever bought. It's very handy and works really well. I would recommend it to anyone. My baby boy Brutus doesn't seem to mind it at all. He can eat and drink while he has his muzzle on. Don't waste ur money on other muzzles.

I had no other choice but to get one of these due to my dalmation having issues with biting. However it worked better than I expected. Gunny was unable to take it off and able to drink with no issues with it on. I used others like the cloth ones and it was't watching him cry so much. This was so much better and you can shape it to their face.

Works well for my 80lb husky who is reactive towards other dogs. Very sturdy and easy to shape. There's many types of muzzles and its really all about personal preference, this kind works great for us though!

I wasn’t sure if our foster dog was safe to have with the rest of the family so I ordered one to use for the first few days. It was good in the nose but too big overall so I reordered a smaller one. The nose pinched my meatball’s face quite a bit and I was really bummed. BUT- I found out you can boil (yes, you read that right, boil in a pan) the muzzle for a few minutes to soften the basket, and then reshape it while it’s hot. I stuck a drinking glass inside to make it wider, and when it cooled it was perfect. Liberal amounts of peanut butter inside the basket made it easy and fun to put on, and it allowed us to let the new guy explore the house and meet the other pets safely.

I decided to keep the larger one too to use on future fosters. As for keeping it in place, I used clips to attach the muzzle harness to his collar at the top of the head and below the chin. It was impossible for my foster to remove, and he gave up trying pretty quickly. He could drink and take treats easily with the muzzle on (after adjustment). I’m super happy with them! … more
