What are the types of muzzles: a short guide - will help you choose the best material for your dog

Modern pet stores offer a wide range of muzzles, each with its own characteristics that make them suitable for certain dog breeds.
Plastic
Plastic muzzles are generally used to provide protection against bites and to train animals. Plastic muzzles are lightweight and comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and they do not interfere with the dog's breathing or drinking. You can give your pet treats through a plastic muzzle. These muzzles are easy to wash and dry, but they are less durable than products made from other materials.
Leather
Leather muzzles come in a variety of designs, but basket-style models are considered the best. They do not interfere with the dog's ability to drink, breathe, or receive treats. The downside is that some dogs are able to remove leather muzzles.
Made of nylon
Soft fabric "tubes" (usually nylon) are easier to put on than a basket muzzle, although dogs may not be able to breathe as freely in them. These options are worth purchasing if you have chosen an animal with a flattened muzzle as a pet.
Grooming
Grooming muzzles are made of mesh and fabric. Your pet won't be able to drink or have a snack in such a product, but there won't be any problems with breathing. They can't be worn for a long time or used during training - such muzzles are usually needed to cut a dog that is aggressive towards strangers.
Metallic
These muzzles are the strongest of all, but also the heaviest.
