BRONZEDOGPitbull Dog Muzzle Metal Mask Amstaff Wire Basket Pit Bull Adjustable Leather Straps for Large Dogs (Steel)

Arrived fast and fits perfectly on our pit mix. We have had 2 other muzzles before this one but they tore up and never fit quite right. It’s made of very high quality metal which feels pretty resistant to any bending that may be caused from rough play. The padding for the top of the snout allows the muzzle to remain out of the eyes. Nothing appears to be a major rub point. He’s comfortable and we’re happy. I will say while it may not fit all pits the same, I would definitely recommend trying this muzzle first and saving yourself some potential headache.*Edit*After having for some time the muzzle has held up quite well, we did have one of the front bars break off of the muzzle. Nothing to do with the quality of the muzzle, just our pit managed to smack it into a wall repeatedly over time, damaging the welds. After removing the broken bar; the muzzle still remained very sturdy and we’ve been able to continue using it! Another thing was that we had a problem with rubbing below the eyes, this was a simple fix using a little bit of duct tape to cover up any rough parts that would rub. 5/5 stars still.

Looks scary, but when traning a previously abused pit, probably a good thing. Holes are big enough to allow treats, and sits comforatbly on their face. Super breathable, lasts a while. My dogs don't really mess with trying to take it off following muzzle training so I can't speak to that. Easy to put on and remove following the initial sizing of it. Used this mainly when out on walks due to other dogs not having manners or personal space awarness, and when going to get nails trimmed for the first couple times. Made vet staff feel safer knowing my pet had been abused by her previous owners.

So our dog has a biting problem, wants to (try) to eat anything it sees as a threat, and this muzzle is a new daily to help fix that. Works great with our training.We've gone through muzzles of multiple types and this is the first one we've been able to use on him without him either yanking it off (no matter how secure it was) breaking it or chewing it to pieces.It fits great, he can eat treats through it, pant, drink, and interact without much issues at all. We use small treats so it was a learning curve for how to feed him through the top so he gets the treat without it falling through the bottom.He has a tendency to rub his face into things when he rolls, and while the muzzle is on if he rubs a lot it will rub his nose however the leather has done a great job of keeping him from hurting himself bashing it into things. (He's a very clumsy dog and normally wacks his head and tail into things all the time)The straps go AROUND the head as well as each side and his nose so it can be a snug fit that keeps from getting pawed off.Absolutely a great find,

The muzzle is way too small for put bulls, what a waist of money. Good for smaller dogs, but false advertisement for pitts

I confess I didn’t measure our Staffie’s snout prior to purchasing but I did look at the reviews with photos. There was many pictures and good reviews with dogs who looked just like our girl so I bought it.First off, I slowly introduced it to our girl. First day I put a few treats in it and let her sniff it and see it. Next day I used peanut butter on the inside and was able to distract her with the peanut butter long enough to get it on her. After she licked the thing clean she realized she wanted the cage on her face off of her so she leveraged the ground, took one paw and in one slick motion slid the thing right off. Zero struggle on her part.I feel like this muzzle doesn’t fit her. I am going to try again tomorrow with the peanut butter and tighten the straps more. I will update this review if we’re able to get it on her and have this thing do what we bought to do.Which is highly important because as of right now, we’re living with keeping our 15yr old pit completely away from our young girl who we bought this for. We’ve had her just over a year. She was 5mo old when we got her. She grew up with our older girl. But in the last two months, the young one has become fiercely protective of her human family and her food and when she senses that either one are being threatened, she attacks our older dog. Our older one won’t be with us much longer and is unable to defend herself anymore. The last attack scared me so much that I have ptsd from having to pry the young one off my older ones face. It was truly horrible. If myself and my Son hadn’t been right there to get her off the older dog, she would have killed her. At first I wanted to get rid of the younger one. But after talking to some trainers we discovered that this is pretty much par for the course with a female Staffie. They are fiercely loyal to their humans and often dog aggressive. So the plan is to muzzle our young girl and socialize her into being around other dogs without attacking. So it’s imperative that whatever tool we get to assist us with this is something our dog cannot get off.

This is a nice muzzle but had to return it because it did not fit our boxer.

I got this muzzle for my dog Kobe, who is a strong and powerful pup not used to being around people. It worked perfectly for taking him to the vet for his shots. The metal basket design feels sturdy and secure, and the adjustable leather straps made it easy to get a comfortable fit for him.It allowed him to pant and breathe comfortably while still keeping everyone safe, which gave me peace of mind during the vet visit. If you have a large, strong dog like mine who needs a reliable muzzle, I highly recommend this one!
