WOI can’t say this enough… Your dog should always be able to fully pant in a muzzle.
Dogs regulate their body temperature by panting.
If the muzzle is too tight and doesn’t allow the mouth to open properly, it increases the risk of overheating. Especially now in summer the risk for overheating is high.
Not every dog needs a muzzle, but many dogs will wear one at some point- public transport, breed laws, vet visits, training, or other situations.
Whatever the reason:
make sure the muzzle fits properly and allows a full pant.
Safety should never restrict your dog’s ability to breathe and cool down
