Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

We're looking to get a muzzle for our first aid kit - just in case Appa gets hurt and we need to work on him and he doesn't want to let us. I want something that's easily packable and most muzzles I see are big cage things. I'd rather get one of the "soft" muzzles. Anyone have any experience with the soft muzzles?

That's all I have for a muzzle. One of those $10 Petsmart jobs. Has always worked great for me. Another light weight option that may already be in the kit is vet wrap. It's one of those 'million uses' items. Securing around the back of the head is a little tricky. But if you've got a technique down it's just as effective.

The soft muzzle is all they use at my vet office. I have them put it on both Adobo & Biko just for peace of mind when they are there for appointments. Doesn't bother them a bit.

Those wire cage ones make me think of Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs.

Ditto on the vet wrap. Can't tell you how many times I've used that at home and work.

Soft muzzle would be ok for short term use, the dog can't pant properly with one on which is why they're not good for long use. We have both (basket and soft.)

I was just talking about muzzles this morning. I need to get one for when I have to clip their nails!

My soft muzzle worked great until I left it on a table and my two got it and chewed the chip on it into tiny little pieces! (I think they spit all the pieces out thankfully.)

The soft muzzles are the only ones they use at my vet as well. When I used to work there they were a blessing for the temperamental and mouthy dogs! They gave us all peace of mind! They seemed pretty comfy for the dogs and are flexible but tight enough that the dogs can't open their mouths if it's the right fit. They make a large variety of sizes so you can get one that fits just right on Appa.
