I will be traveling with my 4 month puppy. Is a muzzle mandatory, I am not able to find one that fits him. Also can you please suggest one for a shihtzu.

If using public transport it's best to use a carrier as yoir dog is small. Muzzle can be uncomfortable for long hrs. Do the research of what the transport requires.

I would suggest not using a muzzle at all, specially while you are traveling. Muzzling can cause respiratory distress and also reduces heat dissipation by panting which can make them feel uncomfortably hot and also increase the chances of a heat stroke. You can use an appropriatly size basket instead. Make sure the ventilation inside the basket is proper and provide water regularly.
