These silicone Trixie Protective Socks have been developed with veterinarians to help keep wounds or bandages on your dog’s or cat’s legs dry and clean. This can help to reduce the risk of infection and support wound healing. The flexible material allows your pet to keep the freedom to move around. The silicone socks can also be cut down to size, meaning they are suitable for both front and back legs and can be individually tailored to fit your pet. The Trixie Protective Socks have two Velcro fasteners that ensure they can be securely fixed to your pet’s legs.

Common questions
How often should I cut my dog’s nails?
It depends on how quickly they grow and how much your dog walks on hard surfaces. Many dogs need a trim every few weeks. If the nails click on the floor or touch the ground when your dog stands, it is time.
Should I shave my double-coated dog in summer?
Generally no. The undercoat helps keep the dog cool as well as warm, and shaved double coats do not always grow back the same. Regular brushing with an undercoat rake to remove loose hair does more to keep your dog comfortable.
