Yes absolutely! The Kounter Muzzle is made from soft, flexible silicone with plenty of airflow. It’s designed to let your dog pant, drink water, and even take small treats, making it comfortable for longer wear or training sessions.

Dog owners use muzzles for safety, control, and peace of mind, not punishment. When used correctly, a muzzle can actually help dogs feel calmer and keep both the dog and people around them safe.

Here are the most common and responsible reasons owners choose to use one:

1. Safety During Stressful Situations
   Some dogs become anxious or defensive during vet visits, grooming, or crowded walks. A muzzle helps prevent nipping or biting in high-stress moments, protecting everyone involved including the dog.
   
2. Preventing Scavenging or Eating Dangerous Items
   Many dogs pick up food, rubbish, or harmful objects on walks. A muzzle stops them from eating things they shouldn’t, reducing the risk of choking or poisoning.
   
3. Supporting Behaviour Training and Reactivity Management
   Muzzles can be a useful tool for dogs who lunge, or react to other dogs. When paired with proper training and the right leash tools, they create a safe environment for learning calm behaviour.
   
4. Public Comfort and Confidence
   Even friendly dogs may make others uneasy. A muzzle can reassure people in public spaces that you’re a responsible owner taking precautions for the safety of others.
