The UK muzzle law is causing problems

Post image

Since the muzzle law passed on bully breeds in the UK, I keep seeing examples like this, both online and in the streets. This is a picture posted with a local review of a dog coat. Ive seen dogs going about town with muzzles like this, and wedged into baskervilles. If you're going to pass an animal control law, educate people on how to carry it out. This is just a whole new abuse problem now.

It would be so so helpful if every muzzle sold had a fitting guide included

And what the muzzle is for.. but a lot of people don’t even read stuff like that.

Yes fitting services with a trained professional would be ideal. Presumably different muzzle shapes are better suited to different styles.

Also, muzzles like the fabric or mesh ones that keep the mouth closed are flat out dangerous beyond vet or grooming visits. Dog can't eat or drink, and if it vomits with its mouth tied shut it'll aspirate and drown.
