. . . some people think when we muzzle a dog, it’s cruel. It’s not. It’s a matter of safety. We all love animals and love the patients we work with, but that doesn’t mean we’re willing to take a trip to the emergency room instead of muzzling a pet.
INSIGHTS: Muzzling is a good topic for a team meeting. Helping each other establish when a muzzle should be used will develop consistency in patient and client care. Also, share this information with groomers you work with.
