MTT Info Charts
The Muzzle Shop is one company who has gone above and beyond! They came to us asking about measurements and went and got updated measurements on all their muzzles! It is awesome to be able to say we did not get these measurements but we did make the chart for easy reading.
Make & Material
Greyhound muzzles come in all shapes, colours, materials, and sometimes sizes (though still limited to certain types).
Muzzles like Birdwell, don pare and some TMS sizes are the largest greyhound style muzzles you can get. They are made from either hard plastic or a softer silicone. These usually have stool guards to fit as they are considered a 'kennel' muzzle, not a racing muzzle. The lightweight racing muzzles you see usually are wire or flexible/lightweight plastic like pictured. They prevent nipping whilst running but are not usually an excellent choice for more determined biters.
Most muzzles you find will be plastic/wire with either PVC, wire or nylon straps. Sometimes, the straps will be too small for normal-sized dogs, but the basket will fit, requiring some strap mods.

Tried Muzzle Shop 110. Way too small for my dog, the material was very light and flexible. There is no nose padding so that I can see the top of the muzzle irritating dogs with sensitive skin and movement.

Have used muzzle shop 110 and a few off brands from AUS. Great muzzles, the only downside is some are not bite proof and are too small for most dogs
