I use a grazing muzzle on Holly and it is on 24/7. I have noticed that her front teeth have worn at a very perculiar angle and asume that this is due to wearing the muzzle. There are no sharp edges on the teeth in question, but am in two minds as to whether or not i should continue to use it. has anyone else noticed such a problem (if it is one?) i use the shires muzzle at present. has anyone used the greenguard?

Ours are muzzled and just get their teeth checked every 6 months.

we rescued 2 from a wildlife park both in their late 20.s. they both wore muzzles 24/7 in summer and they both have worn down all their front teeth. found out they had been grazed on sandy soil and this against the muzzle had worn their teeth away. they had green guard muzzles. i would say you soil must be gritty/sandy as sounds the same. may have to graze them in less lush paddocks. the vet said the damge to the front teeth had caused the back molars to wear differently as grazing through a muzzle they use a different action. and it was irrepairable to their front teeth
