🐾 Size Neli Dog Muzzle
Lightweight Basket Muzzle for Medium Dogs with Narrow Faces
Looking for a dog muzzle that properly fits a slim, narrow face - without compromising on comfort, pant space, or safety?
Size Neli is designed specifically for medium dogs with longer or narrower snouts who need a secure, lightweight basket muzzle that allows them to pant, drink, and move comfortably.
Made to order in your chosen colours, Neli combines ethical function with a confident, modern design.
✨ Why Choose the Size Neli Dog Muzzle?
✔ Designed for Narrow Facial Structures
Neli is shaped for slimmer-headed dogs and is not as wide as our Size Tolly, offering a more secure, anatomically supportive fit.
✔ Lightweight for Everyday Wear
At just 95.5g for the basket, Size Neli is easy to wear while remaining strong enough for daily use.
✔ Full Panting & Drinking Space
A properly fitted basket muzzle should allow your dog to pant freely. Neli is designed with generous depth to support safe airflow, stress-free movement, and treat delivery.
✔ Secure & Reliable Fit
Includes an adjustable Biothane neck strap with buckle fastening for a stable, escape-resistant fit. Optional upgrades allow you to customise the fit for your individual dog’s needs.
✔ Made to Order
Choose your custom colours and create a muzzle that feels confident, not clinical.
✔ Ethical Muzzle Design
This is a basket muzzle designed by a team of animal behaviourists. We ensure your dog can pant, drink, and take treats when fitted correctly.
📏 Who Is Neli For?
Neli is ideal for:
Medium dogs with narrow facial structure
Slim-headed breeds
Long-snouted medium dogs
Athletic, active dogs needing lightweight structure
Dogs who are too narrow for Size Tolly
⚠️ We do not recommend sizing by breed alone. Head shape varies hugely within breeds.
To ensure the correct fit, please follow our Measuring Guide before ordering.

Light enough for active dogs. Strong enough for everyday reliability.
🧵 What’s Included
All made-to-order Neli muzzles come as standard with:
Basket
Noseband
Adjustable Biothane neck strap
Secure buckle fastening
Riveted strap attachment
Straps are permanently attached using rivets for strength and safety. They cannot be removed without cutting.
Optional upgrades are available but are not required for full functionality.
🪛 Hardware Note
If you choose:
Black strapping
Nickel hardware
Your muzzle will come fitted with Chicago screws as standard.
🧵 Noseband Options Explained
The only difference between the standard noseband and the * version is the width:
Standard noseband
*Noseband = 38mm Biothane (adds slight extra length when paired with the basket)
The basket itself does not change.
If selecting the foam-padded noseband, Chicago screws are used for attachment. Two shorter screws are included if you later remove the foam.
💬 Not Sure If Neli Is Right?
Choosing a muzzle can feel overwhelming, we understand.
The majority of sizing issues come from estimating rather than measuring. Taking a few minutes to measure now ensures comfort, safe panting space, and avoids rubbing later.
If you’re unsure between sizes, measuring is always better than guessing by breed or reach out to our team at support@themuzzlemovement.com and we’ll guide you.
