German Shepherd Dog Muzzle Metal Basket for Medium Large Dogs Adjustable Durable Leather Straps Secure Wire Mask for Biting Chewing Barking (Black, L - Size)

I purchased these muzzles for my two German Shepherds and am really pleased with the product so far! The workmanship and quality seem good and both dogs wear the muzzles comfortably and without complaint. The fit is good (I ordered a large for both dogs) and allows room for panting(breathable), drinking, and taking treats. The weight doesn’t seem to trouble either of my two dogs and the basket construction allows them to safely sniff and explore. Will update for functionality and durability after more use!Size info for my dogs (in case fit help is needed): Male GSD snout circumference 14” snout length: 4.75” neck 20”; Female GSD snout circumference 12.5” snout length 4.75” neck 17”.

I got this for my Great Pyrenees/turkish boz livestock guardian dog with a chewing problem. He’s an amazing dog until he chews his charges out of boredom. So far he’s worn it 2 days without issue. He doesn’t mind it, can eat and drink with it on (I still feed him with it off), and it keeps the animals unharmed. He only wears it during the day, I take it off at night when he’s in the yard instead of with the animals for perimeter patrol. I plan to update my review in a few months when I know how it holds up.It fits him well, the strap between the cage and his eyes could be a touch longer, but I assume he’s bigger than a German shepherd. He’s around 125# and has a huge head. The strap that goes behind his ears is plenty long enough, he wears it on one of the smallest settings. Thankfully his partner LGD is leaving it alone, she’s a great dog with no chewing issues so I didn’t want her to need one.

I got this muzzle for my dog with pica. His "leave it" and "drop it" commands aren't very good outside of training sessions, so I needed a physical barrier to keep him from eating everything. I wanted something that was open enough for good air flow (wire basket), deep enough for panting and receiving treats, and long enough that he couldn't pick up anything off the ground. It was difficult finding a muzzle that checked all these boxes because his shape doesn't fit breed standards due to being mixed. Great Dane muzzles looked deep but were way too large, and brachycephalic muzzles were too short. I decided to give this muzzle a try.My first complaint is that the sizing guide is a little deceiving. My dog's muzzle measured 3.5 inches long and 11 inches around. I thought the 4.3in x 14in (medium) would be plenty of room, since it advertises enough room for panting for even a dog of those measurements. However, when we tried it on there was barely any room for him to pant sufficiently or receive treats. The length of the muzzle was already long, so I felt that going up to the large size would be too long. I ended up cutting/grinding the bottom end and bending it wider to allow his mouth to open more. I just wish I could bend it to more of a box shape (less of a slant), but the metal is too sturdy. The muzzle is actually more slanted at the bottom than the product picture makes it seem.The other complaint I have is that the nose pad at the top of the muzzle is stiff and is not flush with the cage or follows the same shape, so it causes the cage of the muzzle to lift up at an odd angle. Not quite sure how to fix this yet except maybe trying to work the leather more. I realize that altering the product nulls any kind of return or warranty, and alters the original design, but it works for us and it does what I need it to do.I also find it strange that the product arrived wrapped in plastic wrap, but it wasn't a big deal to me since the product itself didn't appear used.Despite those negative points, I do feel that the product is good overall and achieves what I need it to do. Even though the shape and size of the muzzle are not what I expected, the product is sturdy, including the leather straps and metal cage.Picture attached is how it fits to my dog before and after altering. I made sure the edges were smooth, and that the bent piece does not go near his neck or pose a danger (it does not go past the muzzle frame).

Wrong size sent! Now I can't exchange! Too big for my dog! My dog is 110 lbs. Large is WAY TOO BIG. Ordered a medium as well, sent a large. Neither dog can wear them!

This muscle has saved my dogs, life and other people hire. I’m more than one occasion. This is a great muzzle for German shepherds. I highly recommend it.

Good product, for my dog little bit big and in my opinion little bit heavy. Have a german sheperd that I rescue on the road.

I have a German shepherd dog who has issues with anxiety and because of that has had issues with aggression. We’re in training and I bought this muzzle to help keep him and others safe while we sort out the aggression and anxiety. I was nervous for a metal “cage” type muzzle but it came recommended by my trainer. It’s wonderful. It’s not too heavy, it doesn’t seem to bother his snoot at all. (Albeit, he doesn’t live with it on. Maybe a couple of hours a day while we do training exercises in and around the general public) he can take treats with it on and can drink water just fine. It’s large enough for him to still use his big boy voice and pant when he’s hot. It’s been a great addition to the training tools helping me help him make better choices. Overall, I’d very much recommend this. It’s super adjustable and sturdy. Careful around walls, if your dog is clumsy, you might find a dent in your wall from the muzzle hitting. Otherwise, it’s awesome.

I rescued a Great Dane who showed some signs of aggression towards my other dog who is more than half her size and weight - she’s also extremely emaciated and only weighs 70 pounds when she’s supposed to weigh 150.. Needless to say, I felt that I needed to get her a muzzle to protect my smaller dog as well as any dog she comes into contact with on walks, at the dog park, etc. I ordered the large since she has a very big head and it was way too big on her. I then ordered the medium which was a perfect fit. She had that thing off in less than thirty seconds and that was me trying to keep her from pulling it off. We had it so tightly secured on her head that we thought that surely there was no way to get it off. We were wrong. Maybe it’ll be good for someone else who doesn’t have these types of issues with a new and scared dog, but this was not it for us.
