BASKERVILE Ultra Muzzles

Baskerville muzzles are one of the most well known muzzle out there but unfortunately hugely misadvertised and misused as they are not bite-proof like advertised. However these are great muzzles for training, emergencies, vets etc (provided they are not a bite risk).

MEASUREMENT CHARTS

Muzzle Training and Tips are the only ones who have a full and accurate size, measurement and weight chart for these muzzles. Most companies use a wildly inaccurate or incomplete chart, which is unfair to customers who should know exactly what they are purchasing.

MAKE & MATERIAL

Because of the material and flexibility of Baskerville Ultra, they are NOT bite proof. Many dogs can and will get a bite through these muzzles. Unfortunately, the company continues to advertise them as safe when so many times they have been bitten through. Not only do they have large holes the material will collapse under even the strength of my arthritic hand. Whether or not the muzzle works for your dog is irrelevant, people should know this does happen because one bite can end a life.

The reason they are claimed 'bite-proof' is that they do not believe in appropriate pant room so technically the muzzles they fit would not allow a bite because the muzzle doesn't allow the dog to open their mouth. Which is dangerous and cruel.

Use at own risk if putting on bite risk dogs.

LOOK-A-LIKES

There is hundreds of Baskerville similar muzzles but they are not made by the same company. There is way too many to list and my next goal is collecting more information on the more popular ones. Most will be even more flexible than Baskerville ultra but there is some that are actually much stronger than the ultra and much better choice for bite risks. Really you want to find one with the front covered as much as possible and tough rubber, not flexible like Baskerville ultra.

None of the muzzles below are Baskerville Ultra.
