Inflatable Protective Collar Trixie for Dogs, Blue

Inflatable Protective Collar Trixie for Dogs, Blue is a lightweight, inflatable neck guard designed to prevent dogs from licking and biting wounds, surgical sites and areas affected by eczema. Made from soft and flexible polyurethane/polyethylene materials, the collar creates a comfortable barrier around the neck while preserving the pet's field of vision and hearing. The blue collar is easy to inflate, clean and store, and its construction minimises the risk of catching on objects or knocking against walls and stairs.

Advantages

The inflatable design reduces impact and bulk compared with rigid cones while providing effective lick and bite protection for the head, chest and back area. Soft, durable materials make the collar comfortable for extended wear and allow the animal to feed, drink, sniff and play with minimal restriction. A Velcro fastening permits fast and accurate fitting and integrated loops allow the collar to be secured to the dog’s regular collar to prevent slipping off.

Suitable for

• Post-operative care to prevent interference with stitches and wounds
• Recovery from skin conditions such as eczema where licking delays healing
• Protection after minor injuries to the head, neck, chest or back
• Behavioural protection for timid dogs that need a low-impact barrier

Key specifications

• Material: polyurethane/polyethylene blend—soft and flexible
• Design: inflatable ring type that maintains peripheral vision and hearing
• Closure: adjustable Velcro fastening for precise fit
• Attachment: loops for passing through a collar to reduce slipping
• Colour: blue
• Care: wipe clean and deflate for compact storage

How to use

Inflate the collar to a comfortable firmness that still allows slight flexibility; it should be firm enough to prevent the dog reaching wounds but not so rigid as to cause discomfort. Fit the collar around the dog’s neck and secure the Velcro fastening, then thread the dog’s standard collar through the integrated loops to keep the protective collar in place. Check fit and breathing immediately after fitting and periodically during wear, and adjust inflation or fastening as required.

Usage recommendations

Monitor the dog regularly while wearing the collar and inspect the protected area daily. Use this inflatable collar for short- to medium-term protection during recovery; consult a veterinarian if wounds fail to heal, if the dog shows signs of distress, or if prolonged use is anticipated.
