Muzzles and Other Equipment

I'm having trouble with the concept that the muzzle allows the mouth to open enough for the dog to drink but not bite children's fingers.....cause that really doesn't make sense. Watch him next time he heads for the water bowl, they open their mouths more than a little to drink too.....

I also have a baskerville muzzle I use for my male fila - affordable and easy to clean.

I'm not sure if I missed the explanation of why you're not a fan of basket muzzles (please forgive me if I did). I use the Baskerville Ultra Muzzle and we love it! Zeek can drink, take treats, pant, etc. through the muzzle. Because it has a head strap, if they are inclined, especially in the beginning, to try and paw it off, the muzzle won't come off. (If your super worried that they might somehow try and get out of it, a collar can be threaded through the muzzle.)

If you do decide to give it a go, the Baskerville size 6 fits Zeek perfectly.
