Basket Muzzle Trixie TRIXIE 17591 for Dogs and Cats, Size XS

The Basket Muzzle Trixie TRIXIE 17591 for Dogs and Cats, Size XS is a compact, basket-style muzzle made from polyester and designed to secure the snout of small dogs and cats while maintaining airflow. It is intended for short-term use such as grooming, veterinary visits, handling, and transport. The design permits panting, sniffing and limited drinking, and includes lateral openings for offering treats without removing the muzzle.

Advantages

This muzzle prevents the animal from picking up baits or foreign objects during walks while allowing normal respiratory function. An elastic insert ensures a comfortable, snug fit and reduces movement of the muzzle during activity. Continuous adjustability lets you tailor the fit to the animal’s snout shape and size. The breathable basket construction supports ventilation and helps maintain comfort during short-term restraint.

Suitable for

• Grooming and nail trimming of small dogs and cats
• Veterinary examinations and short transport
• Handling during training or behavior assessment
• Situations where temporary prevention of food intake or object picking is needed

How to use

Place the muzzle over the animal’s snout and fasten the straps behind the head, adjusting until the fit is snug but not tight.

Monitor the animal continuously while the muzzle is worn and remove it if signs of distress occur.

Usage recommendations

Use this muzzle for short-term handling only and always supervise the animal while it is fitted. Do not leave the muzzle on for extended periods or during unsupervised activity. Regularly inspect the polyester material and straps for wear and replace the muzzle if damage is found. Measure the animal’s snout before purchase to confirm that size XS provides an appropriate fit.
