Deciding on sizes for our two chewers (30# doxie/terrier & 50# GSD/collie). Should I get the sizes slightly larger than their muzzles?

I got the medium for my 65# pit bull who is a big chewer. The size is just fine for him.

My boxer is a pretty big boy. Large head, 80#s. In the store the large just looked to small for his big mouth. The XL works well for him. It might be too big for your large dog. I would be careful getting one too small for your Doxie. I have family members that have Doxie's & they were able to tear up the Kong. Their jaws are something else!

Large, or maybe extra large, as the medium I have is now too small for my sixty pound Border Collie. Good luck.

I would think the large would give them too much room. My dogs are 30LBS and sometimes it gives them too much 'play room' would be too large

Yes, they run smaller than I thought. Measure the diameter of your dogs snout. The medium large should be ok for your dog. They are nice

I have 4 Golden Retrievers now. The two babies are 33lbs each and almost 4 months old. They are chewing the 'large' size, same as the 2 adult dogs. If it were me, I'd go for medium or large. I would not want them to have the ability to get the whole antler in their mouth. All 4 of my dogs LOVE them and they are virtually indestructible. I do not buy the 'split antlers' as I find they don't last as long and they splinter. Just my experience. Hope they work out for you. Good luck and Happy Holidays!

My dog is a boxer mix with a boxer snout and the size that I bought for her fits great. Measure the dogs snout carefully to get the proper fit. That's very important. Giving treats is no problem but carrying toys-no.

This is what I would recommend.Size 0 is recommended for the following breeds: miniature dachshund, papillon, toy poodle, yorkie, and similarly sized dogs.Size 1 is recommended for the following breeds: border terrier, jack russell, cairn terrier, welsh corgi, standard dachshund, sheltie, westie, whippet, and similarly sized dogs.Tim

We had a similar experience. My dog was exactly between a small and a medium. We went with the medium and it worked out. I figured it was easer to tighten the pack rather then try and make it bigger.Also we love with pack! Best thing we got for our dog.

I agree with the other responder. The part that made the most difference to me was the length because I wanted the dogs covered. I have 2 12-14 pound yorkies and I ordered the Medium. The hoods are so big they cover the dogs eyes but I've folded them back so that's better (that could be glued or sewn - I just haven't done it). The girth is really too big but I wouldn't have been happy with them any shorter in length. I wish the girth straps with shorter and had elastic in them. Maybe someday I'll make that alteration on them too. On my dogs, the front hangs almost to the ground but they stay pretty dry and that was the primary goal. Plus they look adorable in the coats!

I would think a medium or M/L would work. The one thing bad about this muzzle is that it doesn't have a strap on the top of the head, so it's pretty easy for a dog to just rub it off their head. It's worth a try, but I've ended up using the rubber muzzle that a big box pet store keeps on the shelf. I had to buy two sizes of that and return one. Better would be to bring the dog with you to try it on. That one is labeled Baskerville but is actually made by Kong. It is the one that my vet recommends. I would not buy any of the other hard muzzles from Amazon. I bought two, thinking that the Baskerville one was so heavy it would be uncomfortable, but one was flimsy and the other had very hard spots that would be very uncomfortable. I've used the Baskerville one several times, and haven't had any trouble with it. (Scarey visits to the vet, toenail clipping before she finally got the idea that treats are worth it!) Good luck with it!

I would actually go with a smaller size for a mini-dachshund. They are really for a medium size dog. You might look to see if they have a 2-cup size. Hope this helps.

Our dog is a English Springer which I believe is a taller than a Welsh Terrier I would think the shorter sizew would be appropriate.

I would choose the small if you want it to fit snug, the medium if you want a little more room. We chose the large for our Lab puppy because she has a long snout and wanted her to have room to open her mouth a little but couldn't eat or drink water through it.

We have the small for our 20 lb rat terrier, so you might need the xtra small, you might want to check in the doggles website the size charts just to be safe :)

I would try it and different sizes in a pet store that can sell what doesn't fit to someone else, or I would type custom made muzzles in google. I love the Baskerville muzzle and use it with clicker training, we fix almost all types of aggression this way! Be a use they can eat and drink through it, some don't fit well but it's a small price to pay instead of a bite :)

I bought 2 small ....they fit my 15.5 lb doxie and a 19 lb doxie perfectly...they work great!

My dog is ~ 30+ lbs and smallish to medium. She is a mixed bread, but we guess a mountain cur. you can look those up for size. She fits just fine. I would guess if your collie likes to curl up, there would be enough room, but if he/she stretches out maybe a bit tight. Even so - the arms are soft so they can easily stretch their head over the side and be comfy.
