Check the Fit
Make sure the gear stays secure, straps lie flat, and nothing presses sharply against your dog's skin.

A Better Fit.
A Better Walk.
The right fit should feel secure without making your dog uncomfortable.
Whether you're fitting a muzzle, collar, or leash, take a moment to check the fit before heading outside.
Let Your Dog Move
Watch your dog walk, sit, and look around. Check for slipping, rubbing, or excessive movement.
Check Again
After a few minutes of walking, check the fit again and make small adjustments if necessary.
Check the Fit
After putting the product on your dog, check that:
- It stays securely in place when your dog moves.
- Straps are not twisted.
- Nothing is pressing sharply against the skin.
- Your dog can move naturally.
- There is no unnecessary pressure around the neck or face.
A Special Note About Muzzles
Make sure your dog has enough room to breathe and pant comfortably according to the product's design. Never rely on tightness alone to keep a muzzle in place.
Let Your Dog Move
Ask your dog to walk, look around, sit, and move naturally.
Watch for slipping, rubbing, or excessive movement.
A product that looks correctly positioned while your dog is standing still may move differently once your dog starts walking.
Check Again
Dogs move, and gear can shift.
After a few minutes of walking, check the fit again. Make small adjustments if necessary.
The goal isn't simply to make the gear tight. It's to find a secure and comfortable fit that works with your dog's natural movement.
Every Dog Is Different
Breed, age, coat, head shape, and body shape can all affect fit.
Use the measurements and sizing information provided for each product as your starting point, and check the fit on your individual dog.
