Measurement Guide

Measuring for your dogs muzzle can be a daunting task, with so many different ways to get
your desired sizing. We have put together a guide to explain each step to ensure the best

instructions to the best of your ability. Each manufacturer will have different requirements,
so please only enter the sizes we have asked for. Our goal is to create the perfect muzzle for
your dog, so if you require any additional help or are unsure of any of the sizing
requirements, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and a member of our team will be more
than happy to help you.

All measurements should follow the arrows shown on the diagrams below, and be either straight horizontal, or straight vertical. Please try not to bend the tape or measure diagonally.

#1 Muzzle Width

Measure in a straight line across the top of the snout, approximately in the middle.

#2 Jaw Width

Measure in a straight line underneath the jaw. This may be the same as the Muzzle width, however, wider heads will differ (e.g. Bully breeds).

#3 Muzzle Length

Measure from the tip of the nose (Point A) to approximately 25mm(1 inch) below the tear ducts (Point B).

#4 Jaw Length

Measure in line with Point A back under the length of the jaw, leaving sufficient clearance to the neck.

#5 Strap Position

Measure from Point B down to, and in line with the corner of the mouth.

#6 Overall Length

Measure from Point A to Point C. This is approximately the cheek.

#7 Desired Pant

Measure in a straight line down from Point A to the bottom of the jaw when the dog is at the desired pant for the intended use.

A muzzle that is to be worn for longer periods (walks etc) should allow “Full Pant”. Exercise your dog for a short period to encourage panting or use an appropriate size toy in their mouth or under their jaw to simulate the pant.

#8 Neck Strap

Measure from Point C around the back of the head to Point C on the opposite side.

#9 Chin Strap

Measure from Point C underneath the jaw to Point C on the opposite side.

#10 Head Strap

Measure from Point B to the back of the head.
