Inflatable Protective Collar Trixie TRIXIE Protective Collar, Inflatable — Blue, for Dogs

The Trixie Inflatable Protective Collar for dogs is a soft, lightweight alternative to traditional rigid cones. Inflatable and cushioned, this blue collar restricts a dog’s access to wounds, surgical sites, or irritated skin while still allowing clear vision and hearing. Made from flexible polyurethane/polyethylene, it is designed for comfortable, unobtrusive wear and can be fitted quickly using the adjustable Velcro fastening and collar loops to prevent slipping.

Advantages

This inflatable collar offers a soft barrier that reduces the risk of the animal knocking into objects and feeling confined, compared with hard plastic cones. Its flexible material and low profile support normal movement, feeding and drinking while protecting head, chest and back areas from licking and biting. The collar is durable, portable and suitable for dogs that are anxious or easily stressed, as it permits peripheral vision and auditory awareness without significant impairment.

Suitable for

• Post-operative protection to prevent access to stitches and surgical sites
• Protection of wounds, hot spots or eczemas from licking and biting
• Temporary use during dermatological treatment or medication application
• Use with timid or nervous dogs that do not tolerate rigid cones well

How to use

Inflate the collar to a comfortable firmness — firm enough to maintain shape but soft enough for cushioning. Place the collar around the dog’s neck and secure the Velcro fastening, adjusting for a snug fit that still permits breathing and swallowing. Thread the dog’s regular collar through the integrated loops to reduce the risk of slipping. Check fit and inflation regularly and adjust as the dog moves or during longer wear periods.

Usage recommendations

Use this inflatable collar as directed by a veterinarian for post-operative care or wound protection. Monitor the dog during initial wear to ensure there is no rubbing, chafing or restriction of breathing. Deflate slightly if the dog appears uncomfortable, and replace or repair the collar if punctured or excessively worn.
