About BUMAS

How it all started

I had the idea to develop a comfortable muzzle for my own dogs. It shouldn't sit as badly as the 08/15 plastic muzzle. It always pinches somewhere and the rigid plastic constricts. In addition, it should not become rock hard as quickly as the leather muzzle types. My big one, drools a lot every now and then. I fiddled around with what material would be suitable. Then overnight I suddenly had the enlightening idea - why hadn't I figured it out earlier? I already knew the BioThane® material from other dog products - it's perfect! The same properties as leather but without the drawbacks. So let's go: I made test muzzles for my two wuffies. They were riveted with a punch and hammer ... This is how my BUMAS came about - BUnte MaSs muzzles.

The BUMAS Facebook page starts

I tell my idea around, including to a friend. She has a dog boutique and was instantly hooked. She asks me to offer the muzzles in her shop. After a few races and battles against the windmills of the bureaucracy, as far as the appropriate trade was concerned, the time had come. At the same time as I "move" into the world of sales, the BUMAS Facebook page also starts.

Help!

After a long search, I finally found a suitable company in Burgenland for the production of BUMAS muzzles! Since I really wanted to keep the production in Germany, the price-performance structure was difficult at first. But now I've found the most suitable partner in Pet-Care.

BUMAS GmbH

In February of next year we founded BUMAS GmbH. The goal: to develop dog accessories that meet the highest requirements of humans AND dogs.

BUMAS is online with www.bumas-muzzle.com first time

We design our first website with all information about our BUMAS muzzles. In the specially created "BUMAS Configurator", our customers design their own BUMAS muzzle.

BUMAS Leinen

Many of our customers are asking more and more often whether there are also suitable lines for the BUMAS muzzle. Asked, done! We develop our first line types. Of course, these are also available as custom-made products.

The first animal welfare-certified muzzle: BUMAS!

The department for species-appropriate animal husbandry and animal welfare is subordinate to the Federal Ministry of Health and was set up at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna. This specialist body evaluates and marks, among other things, pet accessories with a corresponding test mark. The BUMAS muzzle is the first dog muzzle to be awarded the animal protection certificate by this independent specialist body.

The BUMAS muzzle continues to develop

Our demands and those of our customers are increasing. That is why we are constantly developing the BUMAS. In the "BUMAS configurator" you can now choose from numerous options and colors.

We ship worldwide

Kick Starter USA

In order to make the whole world of muzzles even friendlier and more colourful, we are starting our "Kick Starter USA" project at the beginning of 2017. With the claim "Help us to change the image of the muzzle", we reached the financing goal for market entry in the USA on March 8th, 2017.

After the development of the BUMAS muzzles and the BUMAS lines, another product line is added. The BUMAS collars are available in four different types and in different widths. Like all BUMAS products, they are of course custom-made. Nothing stands in the way of a trendy BUMAS set.
