Baskerville Ultra Muzzle
Baskerville Ultra is the ultimate muzzle. Every aspect of the muzzle’s design has been created to combine maximum safety with comfort for the dog. It has taken four years to develop, however we truly believe that it was worth the wait. The material is extremely tough and durable, yet malleable and soft to touch. The ergonomically designed safety strapping ensures the muzzle will always remain securely in place and features two additional points of secure attachment. The loop at the bottom is designed to attach to your dog’s regular collar and an optional over-head safety strap should ensure that even a canine Houdini cannot escape! The Ultra also has a secure metal buckle with pre-holed webbing, to ensure it is quick and easy to fit and the neoprene padding ensures it is snug and comfortable.
These muzzles are available at reputable pet supply stores and can be ordered on-line.
This is the only muzzle endorsed by Natural Dog Behaviour!
How to fit the Baskerville Ultra Muzzle:
As welfare is always paramount with our product design, the dog can pant, drink and even be fed through this revolutionary muzzle, which comes in six sizes to fit most dogs.
Sizing
To measure your dog’s nose, follow the two steps listed below.
~STEP ONE~
Measure the dog’s nose length. This should be from the tip of the nose to 1/2 inch below the eyes. This should be taken along the top of the dog’s nose.
~STEP TWO~
Measure the circumference of the nose. This should be done at the same point – 1/2 inch below the eyes – all the way around the mouth closed.

Use the charts below for reference:
| Muzzle Length | Muzzle Circumference ** | |
| Size 1 | 2.25″ | 7.5″ |
| Size 2 | 2.75″ | 9.5″ |
| Size 3 | 3″ | 10.5″ |
| Size 4 | 3.25″ | 12.25″ |
| Size 5 | 3.75″ | 14″ |
| Size 6 | 4″ | 15″ |
Sizes are available in 1 – 6 and are for typical adult dogs. Juveniles may need a size smaller. It is important to have the correct fitting for every dog – see packaging instructions.
Height must allow mouth to open in panting; length must have 1cm clear from end of nose.
** It is VERY important that you give your dog enough room to pant while wearing the muzzle. The measurements shown in the chart above are the ACTUAL measurements of the muzzle itself. You need to be sure of TWO things before you choose your muzzle size.
- The muzzle CAN NOT be LONGER than your dog’s actually “nose length”. If the muzzle is longer than your dog’s nose length, the muzzle will be in the dog’s line of vision.
- The muzzle’s ” circumference” MUST be LARGER than your dog’s “nose circumference.” We recommend between 1 -3 inches larger than your dog’s measurement. If the muzzle is the exact same size as your dog’s nose, the dog won’t be able to pant. Its mouth won’t even be able to open.
If you are unsure of the size to choose, measure your dog then call our office and we will do our best to help you decide the size of muzzle for your dog.
