Measure the dog's snout length. This should be from 1-2cm below the eyes to the tip of the nose This should be taken along the top of the dog's nose as shown below. Step 2: Measure the circumference of the snout. Measure the circumference of the snout as the widest point. This should be done again 1-2cm below the eyes, wrapped all the way around the snout with the mouth closed. Step 3: Allow for pant room. You must allow for an extra 2-3cm on each side of the muzzle (4-6 cm total). This is so your dog can open their mouth to pant breathe and bark as needed. How to Determine Muzzle Size1) measure from the tip of the nose to the eyes (length of muzzle).2) measure around the muzzle at the widest part (girth of muzzle). Some important things to note on selecting the right size. 1) The length of the actual muzzle CANNOT be longer than your dog's muzzle length, or it will ride up into their eyes. If your dog's muzzle length is 6cm for example, you could not fit them with the size 1 or size 2 muzzle. 2) You need to make sure the muzzle size you choose has a circumference measurement approx. 2-4cm bigger than your dog's circumference measurement or they will not be able to open their mouths comfortably to pant.
