    Quick Release Clip Upgrade

    🐾 Quick Clip - Fast, Adjustable, and Easy to Use

    Quick clips can be really useful if your dog wears a muzzle for certain areas on walks, or the muzzle is regularly removed and put back on. It can be helpful for dogs who have handling issues around their head and ears who may find the process of a buckle being done up too stressful, or for guardians/handlers who are unable to do up a more fiddly buckle.

     

    All muzzles come as standard with a buckle fastening, with the option to upgrade to a quick release clip.

    • Both fastening options are adjustable to ensure the perfect fit for your dog.
    • To make quick clip upgrades adjustable, they include a Chicago screw, allowing you to secure the strap at different lengths easily. (This listing is for the quick clip only. You can add additional strapping or Chicago screws at the top of listing)
    • For a step-by-step guide, head to our “How to adjust your muzzle” section here.

    This listing is for the quick clip only, with no strapping attached or Chicago screws.

    If you'd like additional strapping if you are upgrading your muzzle, you can find the quick release strap here or a muzzle strap complete set here.

    🪛 Extra Chicago Screws
    You can order a spare set of Chicago screws here in case you misplace any or want to add extra colour options to further personalise your muzzle.

    💡 Chicago Screw Maintenance Tip:

    Our muzzles and accessories use durable Chicago screws. These can slowly loosen over time with regular use.

    🛠️ We recommend checking screw tightness regularly.
    🧴 For a permanent hold, apply a dab of Loctite after achieving your ideal fit and colour combo.

    Foam Padded Nose Band - Customisable

    🐾 Foam Padded Nose Band – For Extra Comfort & Nose Protection

    Enhance your dog's comfort with our Foam Padded Nose Band. Designed for sensitive noses, it offers gentle cushioning and can be easily added to any of our dog muzzles. Shop Here


    Dog Muzzle comfort nose band

    🔒 Why Add a Foam Padded Nose Band?

    Dogs with sensitive snouts or those who wear a muzzle for extended periods can benefit from added cushioning and protection. The foam layer helps reduce pressure and friction on the bridge of the nose, creating a more comfortable wearing experience - especially for dogs with minimal fur, prominent nasal bones, or previous irritation.

    ✨ Key Features:

    ✅ Perfect for sensitive noses
    ✅ Extra comfort for extended wear
    ✅ Compatible with any of our muzzles
    ✅ Effortless installation with included hardware

    🔄 How to Install

    To upgrade your muzzle with our Foam Padded Nose Band, simply remove your current nose bandand use the Chicago screws supplied to attach the new one.

    🧷 If your existing nose band is attached with rivets, it will need to be cut off before installation.

    Head Strap

    🐾 Optional Head Strap – For Added Stability & Comfort

    Our dog muzzles are fully functional without any additional straps, but we understand that some dogs (and their guardians!) prefer a little extra stability.

    🔒 Why Add a Head Strap?

    Our breathable dog muzzles are designed to allow natural panting, which can cause subtle movement during activity. If your pup is particularly energetic or you're looking for maximum muzzle security, our optional head strap is a great addition.

    A head strap helps:

    • ✅ Provide extra stability during walks, training, or play
    • ✅ Make the muzzle feel more secure
    • ✅ Reduce shifting and rotation
    • ✅ Offer peace of mind for owners of strong or highly active breeds

    ⚠️ Note: A head strap may not offer added security for dogs with cropped ears, as there’s less surface area for the strap to anchor effectively.

    ✨ Key Features:

    • 🔄 Removable and adjustable for a custom fit
    • 🔐 Can be made non-removable upon request
    • 🎨 Colour-matching options available to coordinate with your dog’s muzzle
    • 💪 Enhances muzzle safety for working dogs, reactive dogs, and outdoor adventurers


    Head strap

     

    It can also be helpful for shorter-nose breeds as it supports the muzzle where the dog's snout perhaps can't.

     

    The head strap can also be attached to the collar rather than the strap of the muzzle, which would act as extra security to hold the muzzle on should the muzzle strap fail.

     

     

    Chin Loop

    🐾 Optional Chin Loop – Under-Chin Stability & Bounce Control

    Our dog muzzles are fully functional without any additional straps, but we understand that some dogs (and their guardians!) prefer a little extra stability.

    🔒 Why Add a Chin Loop?

    Our muzzles are designed to allow your dog to pant comfortably, which may cause a small amount of natural movement. A chin loop offers extra stability by providing support from underneath. It attaches to the bottom band of the muzzle and loops through your dog’s collar, helping to secure the muzzle under the chin and prevent it from shifting or bouncing during wear.

    📏 Measuring Tip:
    When measuring for a chin loop, make sure to measure the widest point of your dog’s collar this includes the buckle if it's needed to pass through the loop.

    Small (for up to a 2.5CM collar width)

    Standard (for up to a 5CM collar width)

    Large (for up to a 7CM collar width)

    ✨ Key Features:

    ✅ Can help prevent the muzzle from bouncing around on the face
    ✅ Fits over a standard collar
    ✅ Lightweight
    ✅ Can match the Biothane colour
    ✅ Chin loops can be attached to any brand of muzzle, not just our own


     

    Muzzle Stop

    🐾 Optional Muzzle Stop – For Added Stability & Comfort

    Our dog muzzles are fully functional without any additional straps, but we understand that some dogs (and their guardians!) prefer a little extra stability.


    🔒 Why Add a Muzzle Stop?

    A muzzle stop can greatly enhance the stability and security of the muzzle when extra support is needed from the back. This is an especially good option for dogs who can flick the muzzle off from behind their ears. This Biothane piece features a figure 8 design, allowing you to loop your muzzle and collar through for added protection.

    📏 Measuring Tip:
    When measuring for a muzzle stop, make sure to measure the widest point of your dog’s collar this includes the buckle if it's needed to pass through the loop.

    • Small (for up to a 2.5CM collar width)
    • Standard (for up to a 5CM collar width)
    • Large (for up to a 7CM collar width)

    ✨ Key Features:

    ✅ Loop over your muzzle, and collar through so that the straps cannot be slid over the head
    ✅ Standard Fits over a standard collar
    ✅ Lightweight
    ✅ Can match the Biothane colour
    ✅ Muzzle stops can be attached to any brand of muzzle, not just our own

     

    Chin Strap

    🐾 Optional Chin Strap – For Added Stability & Comfort

    Our dog muzzles are fully functional without any additional straps, but we understand that some dogs (and their guardians!) prefer a little extra stability.

    🔒 Why Add a Chin Strap?

    Our breathable dog muzzles are designed to allow natural panting, which can cause subtle movement during activity. Some dogs may find ways to nudge the muzzle with their paws, especially from underneath.If a head strap isn’t suitable, our optional chin strap is a great alternative.

    A chin strap helps:

    • ✅ Prevent pawing from underneath to remove the muzzle
    • ✅ Increase overall stability during walks, training, or rest
    • ✅ Provide a more secure and comfortable fit
    • ✅ Offer peace of mind for dogs who cannot use a head strap effectively

    ✨ Key Features:

    • 🔄 Removable and adjustable for a custom fit
    • 🔐 Can be made non-removable upon request
    • 🎨 Colour-matching options available to coordinate with your dog’s muzzle
    • 💪 Enhances muzzle security for escape artists, active dogs and paw-hookers

     

    Scavenger Guards

    🛡️ Scavenger Guard – For Safer Walks & Flexible Training

    Protect your dog from eating harmful or unwanted items on walks - without compromising training. The Scavenger Guard is a simple and effective dog muzzle add-on for guardians who want peace of mind.

    🔒 Why Add a Scavenger Guard?

    Our patent-pending Scavenger Guard (2404638.5) is a clip-on accessory that attaches to the front of your muzzle, covering the treat hole and central front panel. It's designed to help prevent dogs from ingesting harmful items on walks while still allowing you to feed treats when it’s safe to do so.

    Adding a Scavenger Guard can:

    • Block access to dangerous items during walks
    • Help reduce the risk of ingesting inappropriate materials
    • Help prevent any accidental ingestion before surgery and post-surgery interference.
    • Improve peace of mind in high-risk environments

    ✨ Key Features:

    ✅ Clips on and off easily for flexible use
    🔇 Noise-free when attached to the muzzle
    🎨 Available in sleek black or colour-matched to your basket

    📘 Need Help?

    Check out our “How to Adjust Your Muzzle” guide [here] for fitting tips and more accessory info.

    Don't worry about removing the muzzle - the guard clips on and off for convenient use. Allowing you to peace of mind when walking in areas where your dog is at risk, but still allowing you to train and deliver treats in safe contexts where the scavenge risk is low.


    Extra-secure scavenger guard

    Designed for determined scavengers, the Extra Secure Scavenger Guard offers our highest level of protection. This patent-pending accessory (2404638.5) provides added safety from both the outside and inside of the muzzle, giving you unbeatable peace of mind on walks.

    🔒 Why Choose the Extra Secure Scavenger Guard for Your Dog?

    Some dogs are especially persistent when it comes to scavenging - picking up food, rubbish, or dangerous items off the ground. While our standard Scavenger Guard is highly secure, the Extra Secure version takes it one step further by anchoring from inside the muzzle.

    This unique internal fastening system means the guard cannot be removed unless the entire muzzle is taken off. 

    Adding an Extra Secure Scavenger Guard can:

    • Block access to dangerous items during walks
    • Help reduce the risk of ingesting inappropriate materials
    • Help prevent any accidental ingestion before surgery and post-surgery interference.
    • Improve peace of mind in high-risk environments
    • Support behaviour training while keeping your dog safe
    • Offer an internal locking layer for extra stability and control
    • Reassure guardians of especially persistent scavengers

    ✨ Key Features:

    ✅ Internal locking system – cannot be removed without removing the muzzle
    🔇 Noise-free when attached to the muzzle
    🎨 Available in sleek black or a colour-matched option to your muzzle basket

    The Extra Secure Scavenger Guard is available in Rex, Neli, Tolly, Taz, Sunny sizes and in all 8 colour ways.
