   Do dogs need a muzzle?

   • In fact, most of the dogs in muzzles you see out and about are not to be feared as muzzles are a great way to protect our furry friends.

   • Not all dogs that wear muzzles are dangerous. However, we do recommend that you ask the owner first before approaching any dog – regardless of whether they are wearing a muzzle or not. We do understand how muzzles can create the fear of the unknown, especially if you’ve only seen them portrayed on fierce-looking guard dogs in films.
