I originally purchased this muzzle for my 75-pound APBT because he and my in-laws' dog do not get along well. However, because my in-laws chose not to muzzle their dog as well, we keep them completely separated when we visit, so the muzzle has not used in a fight-type situation. However, we decided to keep the muzzle to train our dog if the need to use it ever arose. I would be comfortable allowing him to wear the muzzle in a fight situation, and I also feel that he would be protected if the in-laws' dog used the same muzzle.
I purchased the size 5 for my dog and it fits him perfectly. For reference, my in-laws' dog is a 55- to 60-pound Amstaff, and when we tried the muzzle on him, he would have needed a size smaller. There's enough room so that my dog is comfortable, but it's snug enough so that I don't have to worry about it coming off. My husband and I did quite a few test runs and discovered that as long as everything is tightened properly and the strap that goes over the head is attached, our dog could not get it off (although he tried his best). We also weren't able to get it off of him by moderate tugging.
Training was very easy. For the first handful of times that we put the muzzle on our dog, we spread peanut butter on the nose to coax him into cooperating. After that, he started accepting the muzzle without any resistance. He now seems very comfortable in the muzzle. The muzzle itself is made of a sturdy rubber, but it is soft. It is strong enough to resist being crumpled, but I don't worry about my dog hurting himself like I would with the hard metal type. We haven't seen any telltale signs of rubbing like raw/inflamed skin or missing fur, but I would suggest limiting the amount of time in the muzzle to only what's necessary just to be sure. Our dog has plenty of room to drink, and I can even feed him small treats and peanut butter. That, of course, means that I can put my fingers in the muzzle and he would be able to bite, so this is definitely not the muzzle you want to use if you are trying to protect hands or to go to the vet. It is intended to protect against aggression toward other dogs and humans, and I feel that it would serve that purpose excellently.
On a final note, The Company of Animals is extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. I had lost the top strap for our muzzle, so I emailed customer service to ask if that strap could be purchased independently. I got an email back that evening stating that the strap could not be purchased separately but that the company would send me an entire new muzzle at no cost. I forwarded my address and received a confirmation email from the same customer service agent almost immediately. The new muzzle was in my mailbox five days later.
I would suggest this for anyone who has a pet with aggression issues as not only an inexpensive option but a very effective and safe option as well.

Best for Long-Nosed Breeds
I got my 150 lb mastiff breed the size 6 in tan. I liked the color because I thought it detracted from the Hanible Lector vibe, but mothers still snatched up their children when they saw him wearing it.The head straps are fully adjustable and fit well. The actual muzzle part was a bit small. Maybe I could’ve sized up or even boiled and reshaped that material. It’s molded to best fit German Shepherd type breeds.For a blockier snout, there was enough room to be comfortable during extended wear but not enough room for a full pant nor for drinking.The whole thing was easy to clean, and the straps were pretty secure when he tried to pull it off before he got accustomed to it.
