Abstract
An animal muzzling apparatus generally for temporary use during treatment and grooming of an animal to prevent injury to attending personnel due to bites. The apparatus being generally a transparent globular shape in standoff relationship with and fully enclosing an animal's head, the enclosure having sufficient air breathing holes or slots therein and a slotted elastic membrane for allowing the globe to be quickly and easily extended over the head of the animal. The globe is further fitted with a flexible sleeve encircling the slotted, elastic membrane, extending around the animal's neck and secured thereabouts with a quick draw string having a quick lock. The globe may optionally be fitted with a removable front cover or hinged in a manner that allows access to the animal's head for administering medication and treatment to the animal's head.
