Platypus Muzzle for Dogs Inspired by "Phineas and Ferb"

In the animated series "Phineas and Ferb", the animal agent known as the Perry the Platypus appears to be an inept creature on the surface. However, Perry is actually a highly skilled and capable secret agent with impressive combat abilities.

While it is impossible to truly keep a platypus like Perry as a pet, there is a creative product that brings pet owners closer to this charming character: the platypus-shaped muzzle. This muzzle has sparked interest and amusement among netizens online.

The Twitter account "Kuro Shiba Mikan" (@kuroshibamikan) documents the life of a lovable black Shiba Inu, whose adorable photos have won many fans. To prevent the dog from eating or biting things indiscriminately outdoors, the owner purchased this platypus muzzle for it to wear. Unexpectedly, the muzzle made the dog look even cuter!

Although muzzles designed to stop pets from eating unwanted items are not new, and many come in various cute designs, this particular platypus-shaped muzzle irresistibly reminds people of the platypus animal. Since the black Shiba Inu started wearing it, many other pet owners have shared photos of their own pets transformed into "platypus agents" with similar muzzles.

Some netizens expressed concern about whether such muzzles might cause discomfort or suffocation for pets. Owners explained that the muzzle has openings around the "platypus bill" area that allow pets to breathe easily, so it does not cause suffocation. However, since the pets cannot lick freely while wearing it, food-loving dogs might find it frustrating. For safety reasons, owners ask their pets to tolerate wearing it for their own good.

Seeing this platypus-shaped muzzle inevitably reminds many of the cartoon character Perry from "Phineas and Ferb".

Because many people found the black Shiba Inu wearing the platypus muzzle extremely adorable, the owner happily shared the news with the dog. However, the usually lively Shiba seemed to think this was no good, giving the owner a plaintive look.

Comment from an online user: "For some dogs, preventing them from eating random things is definitely necessary!"
