JVM Wire Muzzles
Available in the EU and worldwide using package forwarding these muzzles are very similar to CHOPO but not the same maker. We think they are better than CHOPO with many more sizes fitting dogs better.
- Manufacturer: JVM​
- Location: Europe
- Ships: EU only unless from MTT (Worldwide)
- Options: 100+ sizes
- Sellers: 10+
- Scavenge Proof: Partially can be covered
- Bite proof: Yes
Common names/companies:
- MTT Store 'JVM'
- CHICUNDSCARF 'Safety First'
- Most EU Stores 'JVM'
- Other Names 'Manak'
Most list their sizes by breed by we managed to get all sizes measured and numbered relative to the 'breed name' on the muzzles. Sizing by breed will likely result in a incorrectly fit muzzle.
PRO & CON
PROs:
- Bite proof
- Large range of sizes
- For small to xl large dogs
- Lightweight (considering), normal wire is a smidge lighter.
- Regular wire and rubberised option (for heat/cold)
- Slightly lighter weight than CHOPO
- Nose padding
- Can be modified (noseband/straps etc.)
- Good for long tongues
- Well ventilated
- Can drink, take treats and pant when correctly fit.
CONS:
- Not great for some muzzle punchers
- Sleeping in it is more challenging (sometimes)

- Not as great for determined scavengers (needs easy mods)
- Companies that sell them size wrong and have incomplete measurements.
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
JVM may look very similar to CHOPO, but they are entirely different manufacturers/makers. The muzzles shown in the picture are both JVM sizes and show off each option.
You can see these muzzles' nosebands are primarily under the wire compared to CHOPO which has the extra 'square' to move the noseband back. They are slightly lighter than CHOPO muzzles and are easier to bend. The straps and noseband are both thicker nylon material. The noseband does have padding on it too. The rubberised coating is for the weather (extreme heat/snow), corrosion, protection, etc. It makes it slightly heavier than the standard wire model.​​
WHERE TO PURCHASE
EUROPE Stores
Options are extensive and I highly recommend using google translate and our charts HERE which explain the sizes/numbers.
CHICUNDSCHARF
Chicundscharf is an excellent option for Germany and other EU countries (check with C&S first).
Low cost and fast shipping. They have almost all CHOPO/JVM muzzles available.

Great option for Czech/EU but you will need a friend or find a forwarding place like Tiptrans
