Trixie Muzzle for Short-Nosed Breeds – Adjustable Polyester Muzzle

Standard muzzles are designed around longer-nosed breeds and simply don't fit short-nosed dogs properly – which is exactly the gap this Trixie Muzzle for Short-Nosed Breeds fills. Made from polyester with a shape specifically designed for brachycephalic breeds like Pugs, French Bulldogs, and English Bulldogs, it offers a genuinely better fit than a generic muzzle ever could.

The continuously adjustable forehead and neck straps, secured with a snap-fit joint, allow for a precise, secure fit. And importantly, the design still allows treats to be given while worn, which makes a real difference to how well a dog tolerates wearing it.

Key Features & Benefits

Why We Rate This

Fitting a standard muzzle to a short-nosed breed is genuinely difficult – the proportions are completely different, and a poorly fitted muzzle can be uncomfortable or even restrict breathing in dogs who already have some respiratory limitations due to their skull shape. A purpose-built design like this one matters far more for brachycephalic breeds than it might for a longer-nosed dog.

The ability to give treats while the muzzle is worn is also a genuinely important detail. Muzzle training works best when it's a positive experience rather than something a dog associates with restriction, and being able to reward calm behaviour while it's on makes that training process considerably easier.

Suitable For:

• Short-nosed (brachycephalic) breeds including Pugs, French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
• Owners needing a properly fitted muzzle for vet visits, grooming, or general management
• Muzzle training using positive reinforcement
