Should I put a muzzle on my dog at the vet?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

From the vet's point of view: A muzzle eliminates the risk of your vet suffering a physical injury due to a bite that could leave them unable to work for a few days or longer. The vet also has staff that he wants to keep safe and free of injury.


How do I calm my dog down before a vet appointment?

Calming collars, pressure wraps, herbal supplements, pheromone sprays, and other anxiety aids can all help make your dog more comfortable at the vet. Medication is also an option, though it's typically considered a last resort. My own anxious dog takes a mild sedative at home a couple hours before each vet visit.

Do dog muzzles make dogs more aggressive?

To reiterate, using muzzles on aggressive dogs doesn't help their aggression and may disturb them more. Dogs that have behavioral issues require training and proper care. If your dog shows signs of aggression it's counterproductive to lock them in a muzzle.

Do muzzles calm dogs down?

Muzzles are like any other training tool in that they provide opportunities to do fun training with your dog. They can also be considered part of your emergency kit, something that may come in really handy to relax your dog and, possibly, even prevent your dog from biting in stressful situations.

Why dogs should not wear muzzles?

A muzzle is only meant to be used for short periods of time, and only when your dog is supervised. Behavioral problems like barking and chewing are, by their nature, ongoing issues, so a muzzle, a tool meant for temporary and short-term use, is not a solution.
