If your clinic has not converted to the use of basket muzzle or is not fluent in applying basket muzzles quickly in fearful dogs, consider using these tips to reduce your patient’s anxiety when applying a cloth muzzle. Nylon or soft muzzles tend to go around the dog’s jaw, which prevents them from opening their jaws wide. They allow dogs to pant, drink and take treats, but most importantly, they keep your dog from biting. They allow the patient to pant (which helps reduce their anxiety), eat, drink, and vomit. Basket muzzles can be made of wire, rubber, biomethane, or plastic. Basket-type muzzles should always be the first choice. The snug fit prevents the patient from panting, which can increase the patient’s fear and anxiety. They are not recommended or intended for prolonged procedures.

Most veterinary clinics use cloth sleeve type muzzles. The ability to apply a muzzle quickly and securely without increasing the stress and anxiety of the patient is critical. The owner should be encouraged to desensitize their dog to wearing a basket-type muzzle.Īpplying a muzzle can be necessary for some patients’ procedures to keep the handlers safe. Just because we can do something does not mean we should it is important to consider the long-term impact of the interaction on the pet.

Disclaimer: If a dog needs to be muzzled, it should be sedated.
