This temporary muzzle to be used in situations where you are in close physical contact with the dog. It is not intended to be used for more than a few minutes, and only when a real muzzle cannot be found.

NOTE: If you have a dog that is very determined to remove this collar, wrap the strapping around the back of the neck and then again forward under the chin and then tie. This method may place more pressure on the front of the throat, and is not recommended for dogs with trachea issues

my dog keeps taking it off!!

@Jockalicious1 Remember to use a flat leash, NOT CORD - like the flexi leashes. This is important because

1. because the round leash is dangerous to wrap around your dog's muzzle

2. it is not as effective

Be sure to wrap 2x around the muzzle and tie in the back. The muzzle loops should be snug, NOT TIGHT and the knot on the wrap behind the head should be secure. The wrap behind the head is the only thing keeping this on the dogs head, so if they can get their paws on there - it will some off.

@WikiPetHealth i did everything and he still gets it off.

@Jockalicious1 - Is this a Pug, or other short nosed (Brachycephalic) dog? This technique will not work on those breeds. Once the muzzle is secure - for nail clipping, sensitive area grooming, ear cleaning, or an emergency situation, keep hold of your pet and do to allow them time to escape. You shouldn't wrap this around their head, let them go, and watch them scramble while pawing at and dragging their head

@WikiPetHealth he is the dog breed from wizard of Oz (toto) and he was barking.

@Jockalicious1 "Toto" was a Carin Terrier, if i'm not mistaken - wiki-pet.com/breeds/dog/breed.­php?breed_id=55&name=cairn+ter­rier but you will want to find another form of bark control. I recommend using the PetSafe (brand) bark control collars - read our article here: wiki-pet.com/reviews/review.ph­p?art_id=3&title=pet+safe+big+­dog+deluxe+bark+control+collar They make a unit especially for small breed dogs

@WikiPetHealth you can use an old sock to cut a hole in where the dog can breath and just put hole on the side of the sock to put the strings through the sock so it can have a sure fit.

@WikiPetHealth you can use a cotton cloth and cut a hole in the middle for the mouth and make sure the cotton is long enough to tie around the dogs neck so it can't get out of the muzzle. I did it for a dog that i baby sit it works.
