Basket Muzzle Trixie 17611 for Dogs and Cats, Size S — Snout Circumference up to 20 cm, Head Strap 20 cm

Trixie 17611 basket muzzle in size S is designed for dogs and cats with a snout circumference up to 20 cm. The molded basket shape keeps the snout restrained while leaving space for breathing, panting and drinking. A 20 cm head strap secures the muzzle around the animal’s head to maintain position during short outings, veterinary visits, grooming sessions or other situations where temporary control of biting or chewing is necessary.

Advantages

The open basket design allows adequate airflow and prevents overheating while limiting biting and chewing. Lightweight construction reduces strain on the animal compared with rigid full-head restraints. The adjustable head strap ensures a snug fit and helps keep the muzzle stable during movement. The size S profile fits small snouts up to 20 cm circumference, providing a balance between safety and animal comfort.

Suitable for

• Short walks in public areas where temporary muzzling is required
• Visits to the veterinarian or groomer
• Controlled behaviour management during training or stressful situations
• Preventing biting, chewing or scavenging on walks

How to use

Select the correct size by measuring the animal’s snout circumference and choose size S for measurements up to 20 cm. Place the basket over the snout, ensuring the animal can pant and breathe freely, then secure the head strap around the head and adjust tension for a snug but not tight fit. Check fit before each use and monitor the animal continuously while muzzled. Use only for short periods and avoid leaving the animal unattended while wearing the muzzle.

Usage recommendations

Use the muzzle for temporary control during specific activities such as vet visits, grooming and short public outings. Combine muzzling with calm handling and positive reinforcement to reduce stress. Regularly inspect the muzzle for wear, ensure straps and closures function correctly, and replace the product if damaged. Do not use the muzzle as a substitute for training, long-term confinement or unsupervised restraint.
