These are the main reasons why using a tightly fitting muzzle for over a few minutes is not a good idea. There is also the risk of your dog getting stuck on something and choking if left alone. Tight muzzles can lead to problems like suffocation if the dog starts vomiting, or they can cause dehydration as the dog cannot drink while wearing it. The problem is that dogs need to pant to cool down, and that’s impossible with a closed mouth, which can result in overheating even on days that are not particularly hot. Here is a straightforward reason why muzzles aren’t a good choice for stopping barking: to stop your dog from barking with a muzzle, you have to close their mouth tightly. ![]() So why shouldn’t we use muzzles to prevent barking?

The problem is that there aren’t many easy-to-find articles that explain how to use them properly. Most dog owners don’t know much about muzzles until they need one for their pet.
