FAQs

How do I clean the TRIXIE Protective Collar?

Clean the collar with warm water and a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry.

What material is the collar made of?

The collar is made from durable polyurethane/polyethylene.

Can my dog eat and drink with the collar on?

Yes, the collar is designed to allow your dog to eat, drink, sniff, and play with minimal restrictions.

Is the collar suitable for all dog breeds?

The collar is suitable for a wide range of breeds, but proper sizing is critical. Ensure you measure your dog's neck.

How do I inflate the collar?

The collar should be inflated to a firm but comfortable level using a pump or by mouth.

Can I leave the collar on my dog all the time?

No, it is not suitable for continuous use. Remove the collar when your dog is resting to allow a natural sleeping position.

What if the collar gets punctured?

The inner ring can be removed for patching.

Troubleshooting

Collar deflates.

Check for leaks. If a leak is found, locate the area and use a patch kit (if the inner ring is damaged).

Collar is too loose.

Tighten the hook and loop fastener to ensure a snug fit around the dog's neck.

Dog is still able to reach the wound.

Ensure the collar is the correct size and properly inflated. The collar should extend past the nose.
