Dean & Tyler’s classic wire basket muzzle is available in thirty sizes to fit practically every breed, including our smaller friends.*Please note, sizes #0 & #1 are without the eye-line strap. DT Muzzle is acceptable for frequent use as it allows the dog to open their mouths.
A proper-fitting muzzle is extremely important for your dog’s safety, which is why DT Muzzle has four adjustable straps and the nose area is comfortably padded with natural, heavy felt. The basket’s metal is engineered to maintain its integrity for many years and it’s designed for maximum ventilation.
We also carry a Leather Basket Muzzle as well as a more spacious wire basket dog muzzle; both are better suited for long-term wear as their boxier shape allows pups to pant freely and drink water.
Wire basket muzzles are intended to be used under supervision and in a controlled environment, as any dog in a wire muzzle will effectively be able to exert some force behind it when stimulated. While our Production Team takes care to ensure any small points or spikes that might be leftover from the construction process are removed, there may likely still be rough points on the outside of the basket, where the metal wire is fused together due to the nature of the material ends in themselves. If a person comes into close proximity with a pup, this can possibly lead to abrasions or contusions in instances where a person is at the receiving end of the wire basket muzzle on an excitable dog. In instances where the dog may be around glass doors or windows, the glass might possibly be scratched or in some cases broken upon impact. Similarly, a dog wearing a wire basket muzzle might scratch other materials upon contact (cabinets, doors, walls, furniture, etc.). If circumstances require that a softer muzzle be used in order to minimize the potential of harm from physical contact, we would recommend a Leather Basket Muzzle as these offer much of the same security with a softer, but still durable material. Alternatively, we also offer a rubber-coated wire basket muzzle in the DT Freedom design, our DT Freedom All-Weather. While the wire basket is coated with rubber to provide a softer material for contact, we still want to caution that the rigidity of the wire basket will allow for potential damage if the basket were to make contact with enough force in the way of bruising (for human contact) or breakage of glass from impact.
Stated breed classifications are generalizations for reference and NOT the rule. Please see our How to Measure diagram below and cross-reference those measurements to the sizing chart (also below). For the DT Basket Dog Muzzle, you will need Snout Length, Circumference, Height & Width measurements.
PLEASE NOTE: these muzzles are intended to allow your dog to pant freely, NOT fully, as a free pant is sufficient for comfort and safety at both rest and play. Dean & Tyler has seen a trend of customers taking measurements with a ball or toy in their dog’s mouth in order to mimic a full pant and size accordingly. Sizing recommendations given based on these measurements will likely be much too large and may compromise the security of the muzzle by resulting in a fit which might warrant additional straps in order to prevent removal. Our muzzles are designed to remain securely in place, without the need for additional straps or attachment of the included strap(s) to your dog's collar, when sized correctly and properly adjusted. For this reason, we strongly advise against measuring your dog with any object in their mouth as it will result in inaccurate figures and quite possibly a hazardous size recommendation. Dean & Tyler DOES NOT ADVOCATE attempting to size for a full pant, nor will we be able to assist in doing so. Dean & Tyler cannot be held liable for any harm, injury or damage which may result from improper usage of our products. PLEASE DO NOT leave your dog unattended while wearing any muzzle.

What type of material is the handle?
Each kennel door comes with a strong, lockable stainless steel handle. Inside the handle is a stainless steel spring that helps keep the latch closed, so your dog can’t push the door open. It’s safe and secure, but still easy to open with one hand. You can also add a padlock or clasp for extra security if needed.
Are these kennels easy to assemble?
Your kennel ships with easy assembly instructions, covering all essential components:
- Kennel panel setup
- Panel-to-panel coupling
- Handle & quick-lock latch installation
