Correct measurement: BUMAS muzzle

daniel-poinstingl

In 3 steps to the perfect fitting muzzle

You’ll need: one or two tailor’s measuring tapes, paper clips, a piece of paper and a pencil, and of course treats for your patient dog.

1. Circumference of the snout

Place the measuring tape around the dog’s snout and fix it with the paper clip. Do not place the measuring tape too close to the eyes, make the measurement about 1 – 1.50cm in front of the eyes. The measuring tape should run straight down from the bridge of the nose to the lips. Do not pull it towards the throat or tip of the nose. The lips should not be squeezed, nor should there be any slack. As can be seen in the sample pics below.

Note the snout circumference in cm, do NOT add anything extra, the room for panting will be asked later!

Take your measuring photo in the side profile. Please make sure that the complete head of the dog is to be seen, and you can read the numbers on the measuring tape. Upload your measurement photo later during the ordering process!

Flat snout, small
Overbite, “Flat snout”, large
You own a Bull Terrier? Then please measure the snout circumference even further in front of the eyes, as can be seen in the photo.

2. The snout length

Long snout: Place the measuring tape approx. 1 – 1.50cm in front of the corners of the eyes at the bridge of the nose. Measure to the outermost point of the nose tip. ATTENTION: Bitte achte wirklich darauf, dass das Maßband nicht zu knapp vor den Augen, oder gar zwischen den Augen, angelegt wird. Du hast einen Bullterrier? Dann beginne die Längen-Messung bitte ca. in der Mitte des Fangs, wie es am Foto zu sehen ist. Notiere die Schnauzenlänge in cm, addiere bitte NICHTS extra dazu! Dein Messfoto machst du senkrecht und gerade über der Schnauze, so dass man die Zahlen vom Maßband ablesen kann. Lade dein Messfoto später im ordering process hoch!

Flat snout: underbite or overbite: Place the measuring tape SIDELY BEFORE the corner of the eye. Measure to the furthest point of the lips or tip of the nose, whichever is longer on your dog. As can be seen in the sample pics and the graphic below. ATTENTION: Bitte achte wirklich darauf, dass das Maßband nicht zu knapp an das Auge angelegt wird.

Based on you measurements you will find a non-binding suggestion for the inner space size of your BUMAS muzzle. This suggestion needs to be controlled, hence “panting control”. How exactly to do the pant control on your dog, you will also read in this e-mail. Please follow the instructions and reply with your result.
