The DogIt Nylon Muzzle is a tough, longwearing, nylon muzzle that keeps dogs from nipping, biting, barking and chewing. Tougher than mesh or adjustable muzzles for your safety. Padded on the inside for comfort for the dog. Still leaves enough room for the dog to pant and drink, however like all closed-mouth type muzzles it is recommended to only keep on for the minimum required time and only when supervised - such as for washing, drying, clipping or scissoring a problem dog, or for nail clipping or trimming paws or delicate areas on touch-sensitive dogs.
