This Ancol mesh muzzle offers gentle, short-term restraint for situations where a little extra safety is needed, such as vet appointments, nail trims, grooming sessions, or other brief handling moments. The lightweight mesh design allows your dog to drink and take treats, helping reduce stress in controlled environments.
Important fit and safety guidance
A mesh muzzle is intended for short periods only, with a maximum recommended use of around ten minutes. It is not suitable for walks, exercise, or any situation where your dog may need to pant freely to cool down. Panting is essential for temperature regulation, so for training, walks, or longer wear, a basket-style muzzle is the correct and safer choice.
If you are looking for a well-fitting basket muzzle, we recommend specialist retailers The Muzzle Movement and The Muzzle Shop, who offer expert sizing support and a wide range of comfortable options.
Choose the right tool for the right job, keep training positive, and always monitor your dog while they are wearing any muzzle.
