The following are unsolicited comments about the Best Friend Grazing Muzzle:
“The absolutely best way to effect weight loss in a horse that is on pasture is a grazing muzzle. I have two real fat horses in my pasture and with the muzzles they get to be out with the herd-mates while eating much less feed. Works like a charm!”
Dr. Karen Hayes DVM, co-author of “Hands-On Senior Horse Care”
“This muzzle has worked extremely well in all the horses that I have recommended it be used with and getting owner feedback. Many muzzles in the past were too stiff and caused rubbing and wounds on the skin. This muzzle is flexible as well as durable and works well for horses…This certainly is the most economical adjunct to weight management in the horse.”

“The Best Friend (Deluxe Grazing) muzzle is our top choice.”
Horse Journal March 2003
“We rate the (Best Friend Grazing Muzzle) #1 and so did John Lyons’ Perfect Horse publication.” Farriers’ National Research Center
“The breakaway feature really works. I’m ordering another buckle to be ready and I’m ordering another muzzle for my other horse because the one he’s wearing uses Velcro and I believe he would be injured before it breaks away. Also the light weight makes me feel better about using them; plus the chafing the horses got from other muzzles is non-existent with Best Friend Deluxe. Thank you for a superior product.”

“I just wanted to thank you for your grazing muzzle. My 25 year old Welsh/Quarter horse pony who has Cushing’s disease did sustain a mild founder last September. I board my horse with 20 other head of horses including two Percherons. Needless to say, all are in good flesh and I don’t know if it was the Cushing’s or feeding that just pushed her over the edge into laminitis. Anyway, I am so happy to have your product for her because she can be with the herd still and have threat dangerous over-consumption of grasses curtailed. I have a 20 year old Morgan with a fleshy mane and I asked the manager that he too be muzzled—in fear of laminitis. Thank you for your Blessed Product…”

“The (Best Friend) Grazing Muzzle is the best. It’s lightweight and doesn’t rub my horse. And I’m relieved of the worry of him ever biting other horses.”
S.S., Calispell, MT
“The (Best Friend) Grazing Muzzle is GREAT. Dora can be on 24-hour turnout with her friend and doesn’t have to spend her summer in a dry lot. I take it off of her for an hour in the a.m. and two or three hours in the p.m. and she’s pretty much maintaining a good weight.”

“I couldn’t believe my pony adapted so easily. She seems very happy and comfortable with it on.” C.R., Montrose, PA
“The muzzle is a lifesaver for “Lucky” because of the founder. It allows him to be turned out for 6-9 hours.” J.W., Greenfield, MA
“I firmly believe your muzzle saved my horse’s life.” B.B. Culpeper VA
“Although not overweight, I noticed my other horse was bloated on the spring grass. I put the muzzle on him and within 2 days the bloating went away and his energy came back.” S.C., Wilson, WI
“My founder-prone Morgan is doing great with the (Best Friend) Grazing Muzzle. She is now able to roam the pasture for several hours!” J.A., Fowlerville, MI
"My horse, Joy, has suffered badly from colic in the past over the summer months, which has caused me a lot of heartache and also money... I can seriously say that it is the best technique I have tried to get my pony to eat leass and prevent her colic! After a few miserable days in the field, she adapted to the muzzle and now wears it daily without any fuss... I am so grateful; I firmly believe that without the muzzle I would not be able to cope with the stress, and would possibly have had to sell my pony by now."
