Name: Baskerville Ultra Muzzle™
Brand: KVP
SKU: MBU01V

Features & Benefits

The Baskerville Ultra Muzzle is a premium veterinary-grade basket muzzle designed to combine safety, comfort, and hygiene for dogs in clinical, boarding, grooming, and transport settings. Crafted from durable yet flexible thermoplastic rubber (TPR), this humane muzzle allows dogs to pant, drink, and receive treats, keeping them calm and stress-free during veterinary procedures, grooming sessions, or trips. Its open basket-style design supports natural canine behaviors while securely preventing biting; making it an ideal choice for veterinary professionals managing reactive or anxious patients. Security is reinforced with a lockable neck strap, optional over-the-head safety strap, and collar attachment loop so the muzzle stays firmly in place during restraint or movement.

Developed by renowned animal behaviorist Dr. Roger Mugford, the Baskerville Ultra Muzzle features heat-moldable sizing for a custom fit; especially useful for broad or short-nosed breeds. Just immerse it in warm (not boiling) water, shape it to the dog’s muzzle, and cool to set; this process ensures both comfort and secure fit over time.

How To

1.Select the Right Size
Measure your dog’s nose length and circumference, then refer to the sizing chart. Size selection should prioritize nose length, using circumference as a secondary check

2. Heat-Shape for Custom Fit
Soak the muzzle in warm tap water (not boiling) for about 2 minutes. Carefully shape it to the dog’s snout, then cool with cold water to lock in the fit.

3. Secure in Place
Slide the muzzle on, thread the collar through the built-in loop, and add the optional over-the-head strap if needed. Fasten and lock all straps to ensure stability.

4. Allow Natural Behavior
Provide water or treats while the muzzle is worn. Regularly panting is encouraged and supported by its design.

5. Supervise & Adjust
Monitor the dog during initial wear. Reheat and reshape if discomfort or looseness occurs. Remove after sessions unless required, ensuring timing is appropriate for patient safety.

FAQ

Yes! Unlike soft muzzles that are restricted to low-time increments of use, this muzzle allows pets to open their mouths enough to pant, bark, and drink water.

Yes, but only some breeds like boxers. It is unlikely to fit breeds like pugs, english bulldogs, and french bulldogs. Be sure to use the straps to secure properly to your pet's head, and check the range of sliding by pushing gently. Refer to the sizing chart and images if unsure.

A soft muzzle is for small increments of time and does not allow the pet to pant, which is one way dogs regulate temperature and breathe naturally. A Baskerville muzzle acts more like a basket cage and allows pets to wear for longer amounts of time and during activities like walks or vet visits.

Like a mouthguard, the Ultra Muzzle can be heat-shaped to fit your dog’s unique size and shape. The best way is to bring water to a boil, remove from heat, and fully submerge muzzle in hot water without touching the sides of the pot. Leave for 10-30 seconds then remove from water. With heat-protectant gloves (like an oven mit) bend the muzzle as desired. This will not move a ton, but it will allow for slight modifications. Do not place it on dog while hot to the touch.
