MTT Info Charts
Muzzle Training and Tips are the only ones who have a full and accurate size, measurement and weight chart for these muzzles. Most companies use a wildly inaccurate or incomplete chart, which is unfair to customers who should know exactly what they are purchasing.
Make & Material
Made from heavy-duty plastic that won't bend or warp under hard use and all-metal buckle and hardware. Resistant to scraping on fences as well as dirt and odours, machine and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning and disinfecting.
You can purchase a 'stool guard' to go with either size of Birdwell Muzzle, it sits inside the large muzzle and outside of the medium muzzle. There is a few types of stool guards you can buy that could fit but we recommend just sticking with the Birdwell guard.
Look-A-Likes
Birdwell muzzles have a few other brands that are really similar, the Brocks (full grip supply) is the closest you can find to Birdwell but there is a Similar style from Aus which are soft material and the 114 from The muzzle Shop is also very similar.

Where/How To Purchase
Member Reviews
Very happy with our large purple Birdwell. Lightweight, colourful and VERY sturdy. Easy to modify. We put it in hot but not boiling water and pulled out the sides to make it wider. Not easily taken off by the dog, thanks to the chin strap it comes with. If I had to come up with something I don't like about it.. it would be that the strap and the basket of the muzzle are two different shades of purple. All the other colours don't seem to have that issue. 😁Edit: Forgot to mention that it had a strong smell of cigarette smoke when it arrived. It went away after dipping it in hot water and letting it sit outside in the sun for a day.
