Ordering

How ordering works.

How do I order?

Fill in the order form with your dog's details, any health concerns and three photos of their face (front, side and from above). We'll check a custom muzzle is right for your dog, then email you our measurement guide.

I had an invitation from the waiting list. Do I need the form?

No. Just reply to your invitation email and we'll take it from there.

Can you make a muzzle for any dog?

Not always. Every muzzle is custom, but some dogs aren't suited to wearing a muzzle at all because of their health or the structure of their face and skull. That's why we check your photos and any health concerns before confirming your order.

Do you only make muzzles for flat-faced dogs?

No. We started with brachycephalic breeds like Albie, but every muzzle is built from scratch, so we're not limited to one face shape. Send us your dog's photos and we'll let you know honestly whether a custom muzzle is right for them.

When do I pay?

Only once your measurements are accepted. We'll send you an invoice, which you pay by bank transfer, and then the design starts.

How long does it take?

It depends on your dog and how the fit checks go, so we don't give a fixed date. We'll keep you updated at every stage.

Price & Postage

What's included.

How much does it cost?

£160 per dog. That covers a complete custom build, two fitting prototypes, your final muzzle, a fit check after each prototype, and UK postage on all three.

Why does it cost £160?

Every muzzle is designed from scratch for one dog, and we make three pieces for each order: two fitting prototypes and your final muzzle, with a fit check at each stage. That takes time and materials, but it's how we get the fit right for dogs who don't suit standard sizes. And there's no factory: every muzzle is made by hand at our home.

What if my dog needs more fine-tuning?

Extra prototypes are £20 each. We'll always check with you before making one.

Is postage included?

Yes. UK postage is included on both prototypes and your final muzzle.

Do I need to live near you?

No. We post prototypes and final muzzles anywhere in the UK. If you're local to us, we can also fit prototypes in person.

Do you post outside the UK?

Not at the moment. If you're outside the UK, email us at [email protected] and we'll let you know if that changes.

Measuring & Fitting

Getting the fit right.

How do I measure my dog?

Once we've checked your photos, we'll email you our measurement guide. It shows you each measurement and the photos we need.

My dog won't let me measure them. What now?

That's very common. Do your best with our guide. Prototype one checks your measurements, and we'll adjust anything that was off.

What are the prototypes?

Test versions of your dog's muzzle, printed in rigid PLA with temporary straps. They let us check the fit on your dog before your final muzzle is made.

Do the prototypes come with straps?

Yes, but they're temporary straps, just for checking the fit. Your final muzzle comes with its full set of straps, fitted by hand.

Why do I need two prototypes?

Through our testing, two rounds gives the most accurate fit: the first checks the measurements, the second confirms every change before your final muzzle is made.

How do fit checks work?

After each prototype, you send us photos, a short video and your answers to our fit checklist. We use them to adjust the design.

Can my dog wear the prototypes on walks?

No. Prototypes are for fitting and practice at home. For walks, please wait for your final strong, flexible TPU muzzle.

Do I keep the prototypes?

Yes. They're yours to keep, and they're handy for muzzle training at home.

Your Muzzle

Your dog's muzzle.

Is it a standard muzzle that's been adjusted?

No. Every muzzle is a complete custom build, designed from scratch around your dog's own measurements. We never alter an off-the-shelf muzzle.

What is TPU?

TPU is a strong, flexible and durable material. It flexes with your dog's movement and returns to shape.

What colours are available?

Final muzzles are black TPU. Straps come in black as standard, or you can choose sky blue, teal, sage green, orange or cerise pink at no extra cost. Just pick your colour on the order form. Colours can look slightly different on screen.

Is a muzzle suitable for my flat-faced dog?

We design for room to breathe and pant, and the prototype stage lets us check the fit on your dog. Every dog is different, so if your dog has breathing difficulties, please speak to your vet first.

How long can my dog wear their muzzle?

Muzzles are for supervised periods, like walks, vet visits or grooming, not all-day wear. Build up time gradually with positive training.

Who checks the fit day to day?

You do. Before each use, check the muzzle sits comfortably and the straps are secure. If anything changes, stop using it and get in touch.

Does wearing a muzzle mean my dog is aggressive?

Not at all. Many dogs wear muzzles for vet visits, grooming, scavenging or legal reasons. Muzzle training is a positive, responsible step for any dog.

About Us

A bit about us.

Where are you based?

We're in the UK. We're a one-person studio, and every muzzle is designed, 3D printed and finished by hand at our home.

Are your muzzles made in a factory?

No. The Muzzle Studio is a one-person studio, not a factory. Every design is thought through for one dog, and every muzzle is made at our home, one at a time.

What was the Founding Dogs Programme?

A carefully selected group of dogs who helped us refine our design before we opened. The programme is now complete. Thank you to every dog who helped us perfect the fit.
