How to Measure for your Custom Muzzle
Snout Circumference
This is the full circumference of the snout, ideally when the dog is panting.
In this example, Ollie isn't panting, so I am estimating his pant room by leaving him some extra space.
Snout Length
This is the length of your dog's snout from just below the eyes to the tip of their nose. It's important that this measurment is as close as possible since it will effect how long the muzzle will be.
In this example, Ollie's snout length is just below 2 inches. Most dogs are between 2.5 - 3.5 inches although some breeds, such as German Shepherds, will go up to 4.5 inches.
If you aren't quite sure of this measurement, feel free to send us a similar picture with the tape measure on top of your dog's nose.
Snout Width
This is the width of your dog's nose.
I've added red lines in this picture to indicate where the width would be.
Biothane is flexible so with this measurement you can be close, but don't need to be exact. In this example, I would round Ollie up to 1.5 inches.
Pant Height
This effects how tall the muzzle will be.
It's best if you can get your dog panting for this measurement so that they can fully pant or open their mouth in the muzzle.
Ollie is 2 inches - not panting, but likely to be 3 inches panting. If you cant get your dog to pant, and you feel like you can estimate their size, that is OK just let me know!
