Papillon Dog Muzzle Buying Guide
Now that you’ve seen some of the options available to you, I will go further in depth on the various features muzzles can have. Some of the features you may want to do away with, while others may be exactly what you’re looking for. There are muzzles of every type you can think of out there, once you know what you want you’ll be sure to find the perfect one for your Papillon.
Heat Shaping
This is a handy feature because you can bend the muzzle to an almost custom fitting of your Papillon’s jaw. Heat shaping is simple, using hot but not boiling water you dip the muzzle into a bowl of it. Once it has sat for a bit, remove it and use your hands to shape the muzzle into the desired shape. Then you dip the finished product into a bowl of cool water and leave it until it firms again. You can easily do this multiple times to be sure of the perfect fitting muzzle for your dog.
Washable
There are many muzzles out there made of various fabrics and most of them are horrible to clean. The pet industry has seen this and in response has come out with the washable muzzle. This is a nice feature thanks to its time saving ability. When the muzzle is dirty you throw it into the washing machine and you’re done. Beware, always be sure to check that the muzzle is machine washable as some brands are only hand wash. This is still easier to clean than some muzzles but not as time efficient.
Breathability
This is a vital factor for a muzzle, and you should always check that the one you plan to buy has this feature. Muzzles should never restrict the air flow of your Papillon, and the material should be breathable so they do not get over heated on hot summer days.
Able to Drink/Eat
When looking for a muzzle for your Papillon I can not stress enough how much I recommend these types of muzzles. Having the ability to eat and drink with the muzzle on can save your dog’s life if the worst were to happen and they got away while wearing the muzzle. For your dog’s safety more than anyone else’s I advise these muzzles.
Adjustable
Having an adjustable muzzle is always a plus, thanks to the usually loose fitting brands. If the muzzle is too loose your Papillon can easily clip out of it, but if it is too tight then it can cause chaffing and rubbing. Both of which lead to unnecessary pain. The more points of adjustment there are, the better the muzzle will fit your dog.
Light Weight
The reason a light weight muzzle is a nice feature to have is the strain a heavier one puts on your Papillon’s head and neck. Smaller breeds especially have this problem, thanks to the thinner bones in their body. You should always be sure that whatever muzzle you are buying fits all the needs of your dog without causing them pain or injury.
Room To Pant
This is another important thing to have in a muzzle! There are a few brands that do not account for this which, if you live in a hot or humid area, is a very bad thing. The reason dogs pant is because their body heat is naturally higher thanks to their fur, and they need a way of cooling off. The panting is that way for them and if you restrict their ability to pant then they are more likely to have heat sickness problems.
