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

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!

my Newfie has 4 inch paws. I bought him the xlarge which says it is 4 inches. They fit really snugly and I wish they were about 1/4 - 1/2 inch larger. They work okay as is though. The website has a good description of the sizes. The small says it is 2-1/4 inch, the medium 2-3/4 I think. Measure carefully. You want them reasonably snug so they don't slip. I hope this helps

I got a medium for a 35lb Border terrier. He had a big head. Kind of square. but he hated it. So it didnt work for me. Good luck

Hi sherry, we bought the large for our malamute but the trainer had advised going smaller because the large gives too much room and if your dog lunges at something strong enough he could snap the saftey clip. Go with the medium and be sure that it fits snug enough where the collar doesnt fall further than behind his ears. Hope this helps.:)

I purchased a small for my two dogs, one is about 15 lbs, the other 17lbs and they fit just perfectly. I would probably suggest an XS for your pups. :)

Hmmm...I'd have a tendency to go with the large. They're adjustable, but I use the medium (I believe) for my about 22 pound dachshund. There's a button on the top where your leash fastens that will enable you to adjust Took me a while to find that feature!!! And you can always return for a smaller size. It's awesomely effective for my awesomely active dachshund! Good luck and happy walking.

I would definitely purchase the medium if she likes to chew, their is a big difference between the small and the medium, the large is for 26 to 50 lb. dogs I give my smaller beagle the medium and she is 25 lbs. I give my 15 inch beagle either the medium or large. These are very expensive if you buy them through your vet as I did in the beginning. Hope this helps!

I also have a treeing walker coonhound for which I use this muzzle and the size 3 is a good circumference but too short for his snout. I'm sizing up one size.

I would go up in size. I have mini-schnauzers. Works great for them, but a bigger dog, I think, would need bit more space. The length is ok, but the width could be an issue.

My mini doxie is 17 lbs & has a girth of about 17 inches - wears the medium. I'd try the small on your dog, especially since they adjust.

I would check and see what their restrictions are. Your yorkie/westie should certainly be comfortable in the large one. My chihuahua mix is about the same size.

What breed are your puppies and how old are they? If you can tell me that I can help you out a little better. I bought a large because we have a Cane Corso which is related to the mastiff breed and honesty I could of bought an extra large and it would of been better for her.

I think you'll find the Medium is a good size. I have a Yorkshire Terrier about the same length from neck to tail but only about 13 pounds. She is covered across the back but the girth is a little big. The velcro strap gives enough 'shrinkage' to make it work though.

I'd get a small. I got a large for a 50 lb. bulldog (NOT EASY TO FIT) and it's perfect. You can adjust them pretty well and easily. Best harness I ever bought!

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 :)

Don't know - maybe measure the dog and check with pet store's before you order. I'm guess a large because of the short snout. I was pleased with the quality of this muzzle.

I purchased a large for my 75 lb. German Shepherd. That is my only point of reference. The first time I got one, I got the XL and needed to take a prong out. I think a medium would be good for your doodle. Good luck.
