Abstract: A kennel muzzle for dogs wherein a flexible headstall overlies the nose and is secured by the combination of a neck strap and a movable throat strap. The headstall includes side lobes which extend downwardly over the ends of the mouth and include receiving sockets for the clips to removably fasten a muzzle basket thereto. The rotation of the dog's head will cause an ensnared basket to break away from the headstall thereby freeing the dog.
