Have a muzzle on hand ! Recent posts have prompted me to suggest that all owners have a muzzle on hand for times when you might need one. Too often.....the situation may call for immediate restraint...so get a muzzle and keep it where you know it is :o)) The soft, velcro closure muzzles suffice for every day type things that might come up.
Yes..you can BUILD a muzzle out of gauze or other cloth, but an actual muzzle is very quick and easy to apply. Get your pup or dog used to having it put on and taken off...lots of praise and treats, so it won't be a big deal if or when you need to use it.
It's a good idea to take it with you to the vet, just in case it's needed..it will be the right size and adjusted properly and familiar to your dog too.
