Greyhound Muzzles?

    Does anyone know where I can get the racing muzzles for my Greyhound? I'd prefer those to the heavy plastic ones(of which I already have one). I have the opportunity to let her out to socialize, but I would prefer to play it safe since sometimes the other pups are small and furry. She's never hunted or raced.

    Maybe you should just give her a chance, let her play but make sure you supervise, if she's never been trained to eat furries then who says she will, how old is she? There shouldn't be a problem if she's been socialized with them all along?

    Google is your friend: http://www.greyhoundandwhippetshop.co.uk/muzzles.htm

    But mostly animals understand the difference between a prey animal and someone they're not supposed to eat. And most greyhounds are darling old softies.

    I know Greyhounds too well. I'll play this one on the safe side first since one mistake may mean a dead dog. Thanks for the help.
    I live in Ireland(along with most of you), so I would prefer a local Irish place I could purchase these at if possible.

    If you live near any of the tracks, there's usually someone selling stuff from a van at most race meets, coats and muzzles etc, you're not likely to find them in regular pet shops, I would agree, google is your friend here! They usually have them fairly reasonably priced on ebay too.

    In the car park, like? I'll try Shelbourne tonight. I've a smallish grey, so seeing the muzzle in person would be nice for a good fit.
