Disclosed herein is an animal halter (10) comprising a muzzle (30). The animal halter (10) comprises a nose band (12) having two ends, a muzzle (30) which is attached to or integral with the nose band (12), and a lead attachment loop (26) slidably attached to each of the ends of the nose band (12), wherein in use, tension on the lead attachment loop (26) causes the two ends of the nose band (12) to come together and constrict around the nose of an animal.

The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to a slow feeder grazing muzzle for use with animals, such as horses. Slow feeder grazing muzzles fit over at least a portion of the animal's nose and mouth, affecting the amount of grass or other feed that is accessible to the animal. The disclosed muzzle includes a top flap, bottom flap, and opposing side flaps that are capable of interconnecting with each other to form a central opening. In addition, a series of interchangeable inserts can be positioned within the central opening to adjust the amount of grass or feed the horse can access. In this way, the rate of speed and amount of grass the horse eats can be controlled and/or adjusted as desired by the owner.

An animal guard comprising a sleeve with a guard section, intermediate section, and neck section, the guard section comprising a deformable mesh with a pair of snaps and the neck section comprising preferably cloth material terminating in a hem containing a drawstring to tighten the neck section around an animal's head, with the guard section overlapping the neck section in the intermediate section of the animal guard. The animal guard is designed to prevent bites from the animal while keeping the animal comfortable. The animal is able to be fed and watered while in the animal guard.

A pet headgear comprises two halves operable in “clamshell” fashion to surround the head, nose and mouth of a pet, to facilitate handling of the pet in familiar or especially unfamiliar environments, such as veterinary offices, groomers, kennels or during transporting. The clamshell hinges at one end, preferably a caudal end, so it may be applied from behind the pet and the two halves biased medially to close the shell about the pet's head, prior to latching the halves closed. Openings may be provided for access to the pet's ears, nose, teeth, and/or mouth. A pleasant sensory zone (PSZ) or module may be added to quiet and appease the pet and habituate them to the headgear through positive reinforcement.

A grazing restrictor for attaching to a halter. The restrictor includes a body portion surrounding a central opening. A plurality of elongate segments extend outward from the body portion. The elongate segments have a plurality of openings defined therein. The elongate segments are configured and arranged to be folded upward relative to the body portion to form the shape of a muzzle. The grazing restrictor is formed from an elastic material capable of laying flat in a first configuration and being folded into the shape of a muzzle in a second configuration.
