Son Reus Animal Shelter Under Fire: Key Question, Analysis and a Plan for the Dogs

Answer

Do dogs in Mallorca shelters need to wear muzzles all the time?

A muzzle can be useful as a temporary safety tool when it is based on an individual assessment and paired with training. Problems arise when it is used broadly, without a transition period or clear documentation, because that can make socialisation and trust harder. In a shelter setting, the key is whether the muzzle policy is tailored to each dog's needs.
