How does this work with flat-nosed dogs, such as pugs? Really appreciate your time and answer...we want to order this asap!

I'm not sure how that would work. Aerodawg has their own website so maybe you could email them from there. There are different size attachments so I'm sure they would have something that fits but I wouldn't know what size you would need. Sorry I'm not much help.

My dog has a mussle, so my answer is not exact. But if you're creative, I think it would be adaptable. Perhaps by taping some soft rubber fabric...?

We have a Lhasa Apso that has a flat snout. We ordered the one for small dogs and it comes with two nose pieces. The smaller of the two worked fine. She wasn't to happy about using it at first, but after a few times she was fine with it.

Anna, unfortunately I'm not sure how it would work with flat-nosed dogs. I purchased it for a poodle and it worked absolutely fantastic! AND, it works great for cats too. I'm not sure how the fit would be for pugs. I'm so sorry I can't answer your question.

I would think that it would work fine as long as you get the nose piece large enough to cover their entire muzzle just dont get too big or it won't seal unless you hold it closed with your hand.

Not sure. I have a fox terrier but my guess would be if u purchased the larger size it would work. The mask has to cover the nose and mouth so the dog will breath in the medicine. Hope this helps!

I returned it. My dog could still get to the spot he wasn't supposed to lick. It is not good for dogs with pointed snouts in my opinion. I found a cloth, padded elizabethan collar that worked much better. Good luck.

The Thundershirt didn't work for our Yorkie at all- it had no effect whatever. We took it back to the pet store and got a refund. Sorry we can't help or answer your question better.

Hi, did you end up trying this? I want to order it for my husky and curious if it works! Thank you!

It is really going to depend on the dog. I have two dogs, a Kelpie/Heeler mix and a Pit/? mix. The Kelpie has developed a barking habit, and this doesn't completely stop her, but it has slowed her down. The Pittie absolutely hates it, and will limit him to one bark unless there's actually a problem (someone in the ditch behind the house, etc). I think that Melissa made a good suggestion about keeping the box and trying it out. That was also my plan, and I decided that I would keep the unit. If it doesn't work, you can always send it back.

We have a pug which does not have much for a snout, so it should work for your kitty. He used to eat so fast he'd throw up his food also. It certainly has slowed him down. It is a large bowl, about 8 inches across and it should work.

My dog, a puggle, has not had a problem with them, but they are hard. He seems to scrape bits off it, that's probably why they last awhile. Other reviewers may have more to say about any issues with teeth. When it gets small enough that I worry he might choke, I put it in the microwave on high for about 30s (I watch it) and it puffs up. It's very hot when it comes out, so it has to cool.

I put mine on a german shepard,it really worked good,it worked to good,it zapped my dog so much she only wore it for 5 minutes.if it doesnt do what you want,when your wonderful dog barks grab him by the scurff of the neck until its almost off its feet and say no,it hurt me to do this but her parents use that method in the wild.it really works. merry christmas.

One of the best ways to get ideas about this is to look it up on utube. When I did I found a lot of good information.. You need to keep the muzzle dry. If it is moist bacteria will grow making your white muzzle look stained. You can use a small makeup brush & put baking soda on the muzzle making sure you don't get any in your dogs eyes. It is amazing how dry it stays. You also can make sure you don't feed your dog food with dyes in it. Don't give your dog hard water it has different metals in it that stains the hair/fur. I started using distilled water and was very pleased at how much that alone helped. There are many video clips on grooming your dog on utube. If your dog has a lot of tearing you can actually use the same solution you would use if you wear contacts and need to moisten your eyes. Your dog can get stuff in its eyes and need it washed out just like us humans do. I got all of this from different people on utube. Give it a shot.

I have pugs, and it works great for the shedding. Not quite sure how long your dogs hair is, but I got the short for the pugs

Not sure. It depends how strong your water pressure is. You can always use a sprayer nozzle and choose a gentle water flow that won't hurt your precious pug. Hope this helps. Thanks for checking.

no it wont... i have a jack russel/pug mix and hes only 13lbs and i had to get a medium for him. it works great and i love them for my dogs.. especially when we are away for a little while i dont have to worry about them marking in the house... after a while they learn to not do it at all and then you mite not have to use it on your dog. i have to every now and then remind them if they do mark in the house that they will have to wear it... mine tend to not like to wear it so after a day or 2 of having to wear it again they stop marking... just a little reminder to them as to what happens if you do mark in the house what happens.. (have to wear the diaper)....

I use mine for a purebred boxer, but he is not flat nosed. My other boxer, also purebred is quite flat nosed and has used the bowl before. I think a French Bulldog could probably use it. It has little rubber feet at the bottom which will help with grip to stay in place. If you have a place where the bowl won't slide around this would help your dog get the food from the bowl. There is also a metal bowl with a single large bump, this would be another option....it's what my other boxer uses all the time (the flatter nosed boxer). No matter which bowl you choose, your dog will master it in time and will eat from it with ease. I use mine for a purebred boxer, but he is not flat nosed.

My dog did this and now she just turns away. My other dog that does not have the gentle lead is still a nut case but he is small and I can handle him. Still, I think I will get him one.We tried one on a dog with a small nose and she got out of it in a minute.

I agree with previous comment: my lab became so focused on rubbing his nose to get it off that he no longer enjoyed walking. Bought it - it does work but I no longer use it as even after several days of using it my lab never got used to it.

my Italian greyhound is pretty petite and it works great on him. I admit tho its a little bulky under his neck. We just use it for car rides etc...not daily around the house as then I think it would be kind of a nuisance to him...but it does the trick...he only got sprayed the first 3-4 times of use and never been sprayed since he knows that if its on he doesn't bark...its calming actually bc I think in general hes a nervous Nellie and I wondered how he'd respond...it calms his over reaction of barks (fast food drive thrus, picking up kids at busstops etc) he doesn't even bark (but he does excitedly go to the window of the car and etc so it doesn't make him sit subdued and shameful at all) my Italian greyhound is pretty petite and it works great on him.
