JAFCO Dog Muzzle vs PetSafe Dog Muzzle Small

The JAFCO is the better muzzle for most shoppers. It comes in hard plastic and soft flexible versions, so you can match the material to your dog's temperament, and it is built for real use: reactive dogs, wound licking, and scavenging. The PetSafe Small is a basic basket muzzle for small breeds with padding at pressure points and an adjustable neck strap, but its 2.4-out-of-5 owner rating is weak. JAFCO's 3.9 rating from fewer owners is stronger, and its K9-trainer design and two materials make it the safer first muzzle.

• Choose the JAFCO if you want a muzzle for a reactive dog, wound licking or scavenging, and you want the choice of a rigid or flexible material.
• Choose the PetSafe Small if you have a small breed and need a simple padded muzzle for short, occasional wear.
