Trixie Walker Care XXL boots, 2 pcs are protective footwear for dogs from the German brand Trixie. They're designed mainly for caring for injured and sensitive paws: the boot protects a damaged pad or a bandage from dirt and strain and stops the dog licking and chewing the sore paw. They also protect paws from bad weather. Size XXL fits paws 7.5–8.5 cm wide.
What they're made of
The upper is neoprene, which keeps moisture out so the paw stays dry and clean. Mesh inserts provide ventilation so the paw doesn't overheat or sweat. Inside there's a soft lining, and outside a textured rubber sole that grips on different surfaces. The boot fastens with a hook-and-loop strap, so it's easy to put on, take off and adjust. A pair weighs only 132 g, and the boots can be cleaned by hand or in the washing machine.

Cons
- Two boots per pack. To cover all four paws you need two packs.
- Size must be exact. Too big and it falls off; too small and it pinches.
- An adjustment period. Your dog may walk clumsily at first.
- Not for constant wear. Indoors, paws should breathe without boots.
Choosing the size
Stand your dog on a sheet of paper with weight on the paw (lift the opposite one) and trace around it. The width at the widest point is your size: for XXL it's 7.5–8.5 cm. If the paw falls between sizes or has a bandage, allow for the extra bulk — a bandage adds width. Many dogs' front paws are wider than the hind ones, so measure both pairs. How to take measurements for clothes and footwear is explained in how to choose the right clothing size for a dog.
Getting your dog used to boots
Put the boots on at home for a few minutes, distract your dog with play and treats, and praise it. The first steps often look funny — the dog lifts its paws high — that's normal. Gradually increase the time, and only then go outside. Fasten the strap snugly without squeezing the paw. After the walk, take the boots off, check the paws and let the skin dry.
Protecting paws in winter
In winter, paws suffer from de-icing chemicals, salt, ice and frost: cracks and irritation appear, and dogs start limping or licking their paws. Boots are the most reliable protection on treated pavements; if your dog won't wear them, protective paw wax and thorough washing after walks help. More in paw care in autumn and winter. For cracked pads, Zhyvylna ointment comes in handy, and for cold-season clothing see dog clothing for autumn and winter.
Who it suits
Dogs with paw injuries, wounds and bandages, sensitive pads, older dogs that slip on smooth floors, and for protection against de-icing chemicals and wet weather. More products are in the clothing and accessories section.
Verdict
Trixie Walker Care are light protective neoprene boots with breathable mesh and a non-slip sole. They're especially useful when a paw is injured: they keep the bandage clean and stop the dog chewing it. The key is to measure the paw accurately and remember that a pack holds two boots, not four.
