Nail Caps for Medium Cats – (40 Caps, Pink) - Veterinarian-Developed | Protects Furniture & Skin - Easy to Apply, Long-Lasting Anti-Scratch Soft Cat Claw Covers

Update!!: it’s 2020 my sweet boy turns 6 this year. I STILL LOVE these. He’s gotten to where some months he won’t even notice they fell off for awhile and won’t even bother scratching at things. However, once he notices. Man, he goes all out. He is now a big (healthy) chunker that weighs 18 pounds. I alternate between large and medium for him and medium for his now girlfriend who weighs about 8-10 pounds. They both try to take them off as soon as I put them on. However, after a few minutes they have forgotten about them again. Original post: I absolutely love these! I started using this product about 4-5 months ago. I wanted to give it enough time before, I wrote a review. So here's my story: My sweet kitten just turned one in June and was getting/ tearing up everything! Trimming his nails didn't help, a big scratching post didn't work. Absolutely nothing helped. My fiancé started to push for us to declaw him just because, the cat was getting very out of hand. However, since I'm not big on declawing I went to the Internet! These are what I've found! I've ordered both a small and a medium of these and have found that medium work best. Id say if the cat is younger than one get small, any older it's best to get medium. The Good: -Basically what these are, are rubber caps that go onto your cats nail. They do not hurt them and for the most part the glue holds strong. It's a special glue that won't hurt the animals nails. Nor will it damage anything. They are still able to use their nails however, they arnt nearly as sharp. The Bad: - I've noticed on some of these reviews they complain the nails don't stay long enough or stay on to long. I have had a situation with both. I have learned it truly varies on two things: how much glue you put into the nail and how fast your cat's nails grow. Be sure to trim the cat's nails before putting the nail caps on that way they get the longest life span possible. Sometimes, My cat will lose a nail cap after a week of me putting them on. This has nothing to do with the product. It just means my cat was to fidgety and I didn't put as much glue as I needed too. Some of the nails are different sizes. So make sure that the bigger ones go on the bigger nails (obviously). The Ugly: - There was one time that I had notice my cat had two nails stuck longer than any of his other nail caps ( about two months). I had already replaced all the other ones at least once. However, those two were stuck like some of the horror stories suggested in previous reviews. To be honest it isn't a huge deal. It just means for some reason they stuck better. I learned that to get those two nails that were “super stuck” off. All you have to do it get a cotton ball with nail polish remover on it and rub the cats stuck nail cap until it pops off. It took only a matter of minutes. Also, it is notable to mention the glue dries very quickly. I've learned not to put the glue cap back on. Otherwise, you will never be able to open the glue again. I just put it in a sandwhich bag away from everything until my next use. Also, it does NOT rip out the nail!!! What you see when the nail falls off is dried glue that came up when it fell off the cats nails. Overall, I highly recommend this product to anyone considering to buy it. I've only had to buy two packages in all the months I've been using this product. Great price for the quantity and quality!

I absolutely LOVE these for my cat. He hates getting his nails clipped and never lets me touch his paws. So while I was waiting for the SoftPaws to come in the mail, I would touch his paws and play with them until he was a bit more comfortable. Then when they finally came in I was excited to put them on. I was very worried that he would shred up my arms and waited a few weeks before finally putting them on him. When he started playing pretty rough with our new puppy, I knew I had to find a way to put them on him before he scratched her good! So while he was sleeping pretty hard one day, I sat next to him, pet him, cliped one nail, and kept petting him. I did this until he finally came to and figured out that I was messing with his nails. I'd wait another 5-10 mins and do the whole thing all over again until I got all of his nails clipped. I put the nail caps on the exact same way. I filled one up with the glue, sat next to him, pet him until he was comfortable, and then slipped a nail cap on his nails. Again, I did this until he figured out what I was doing and would give it a few minutes before trying again. This went on until I put all 10 nail caps on his paws. He didn't notice at all. He licked his paws a bit, but he did not fight to chew them off or throw a fit. This really surprised me. It's like he didn't even notice them! He is such a sweet kitty but so mean whenever you put a collar on him or try and clip his nails. After I got all of his nail caps on, I watched him to see how he'd react. Of course, he got up and went straight to my carpet that he loved to scratch up. He tried doing it and instead of his nails getting caught, they'd just slip and my carpet wouldn't suffer. This was so cool becuase he was doing what he instinctively does without knowing the difference. He also liked to climb up the couches and would get his claws stuck becuase he never let me cut his nails. Trying this was an adjustment for him because instead of being able to climb up, he'd slip down. My cat really liked to scratch and bite also, but this saved my arms. I was able to play with him without having scratches all the way up my arms. It's been about a month and the nail caps are barely starting to fall off. He's figure out that he can latch on to things again so I need to put some more back on. The only thing is that I bought the medium ones that don't fit so well on his nails. I guess when I order them again I will try large, but I am just worried about them being so big they end up glued to his skin. But the good thing about them being too big is that you can cut/file them down to where they fit his nail perfect. Another thing I will do different is order a bright color. I ordered black because he is a male black cat and I didn't want him to have pink or something too girly, but the downside to this is that it's really hard to tell if they are still on there without having to mess with him and if one does fall off, it might be easier to find on the floor before my puppy or cat puts it in their mouth. This is a really long review, but these nail caps were such a great idea for my cat. So much better and humane than declawing him. Not all cats are the same and I really didn't think my cat would take to them and was so surprised and happy that he did. This product is really easy and at least worth a try before taking your cat to get his little fingers cut off!

Tres pratique. Je recommande. Cela m a bcp aidé pour l un de mes chats qui se grattait à sang. Les plaies ont pu se refermer et il n a pas été frustré car il pouvait se gratter sans se faire mal. Elles ont tenues 2 mois en place puis sont tombées avec la pousse des griffes. Une bonne solution pour se genre de problématique

Loved it and easy to put on. Just make sure you spend about five minutes brushing your cat after so the glue can dry properly otherwise they will chew them off in two minutes. If they are hard to put on you probably got a size too small. Dont hesitate to pre load the nails with glue before wrestling your cat

Ich habe die Softclaws gekauft, weil mein Kater sich ausgelöst durch eine Allergie den Hals und Nacken blutig aufgekratzt hat. Aufgrund der Lage der Wunde kam ein Trichter nicht in Frage, die Wunden haben aber gejuckt und so hat mein Kater sich immer wieder von neuem die Haut blutig aufgekratzt. Ich war schon völlig am Verzweifeln als ich dann auf die Softclaws gestoßen bin. Laut Produktbeschreibung sollen sie die Katze davon abhalten, Möbel zu zerkratzen. Aber was am Ende zerkratzt wird, ist ja egal. Einen Versuch war es wert, also bestellt. Geliefert werden einmal die Softclaws selbst, das sind kleine Nagelkappen (in meinem Fall in Größe M für meinen Kater) und außerdem dabei ist ein Sekundenkleber und eine Art Trichter, den man an die Sekundenkleber Tube anbringt, um so die Spitze davon in die Nagelkappen stecken zu können. Dort füllt man dann nach Gefühl den Kleber ein. Anschließend stülpt man die Nagelkappe auf die zuvor mit einer für Tiere geeigneten Nagelschere gestutzen Krallen der Katze. Bei meinem Kater war es hilfreich, das zu zweit zu machen. Während einer die Katze streichelt und ablenkt kann die zweite Person die Nagelkappen anbringen. Das tut der Katze in keinster Weise weh, aber es ist natürlich etwas neues, was da eigentlich nicht hingehört, deshalb kann es sein dass sie am Anfang versucht die Nagelkappen wieder abzumachen. Man muss der Katze einfach Zeit geben,sich daran zu gewöhnen. Meinem Kater macht es inzwischen überhaupt nichts mehr aus. Ich habe die Softclaws lediglich an den Hinterpfoten angebracht, da er sich mit denen ja am Hals kratzt. An den Vorderpfoten habe ich nichts angebracht und würde ich auch nicht tun. Denn die Softclaws funktionieren wirklich! Mein Kater hat sich endlich die Wunden nicht mehr aufgekratzt und sie konnten in Ruhe heilen! Aber ich habe schon gemerkt, dass er sich nicht mehr so gut festhalten kann, wenn er zum Beispiel auf das Sofa springt. Deshalb würde ich das nie an die Vorderpfoten anbringen, es sei denn es wäre medizinisch nötig. Denn mit den die Softclaws haben eben eine sehr glatte Oberfläche und die Katze kann sich dann nirgends mehr festhalten. Wem es also darum geht, dass sie Katze einfach nicht kratzen soll, dem würde ich dazu raten erstmal mehr Kratzmöglichkeiten in der Wohnung zu schaffen mit Kratzbäumen, Kratzbrettern etc. und die Krallen mit einer Krallenschere zurück zu schneiden (bitte dazu ein Tutorial vorher anschauen, man darf nicht zu tief schneiden!). Dann gibt es eigentlich auch keine Probleme. Die Softclaws fallen übrigens nach einer Weile von ganz alleine ab, da die Katze ganz natürlich ihre Krallen verliert und ihr neue nachwachsen.

The soft paws are amazing!! Very easy to apply and my kitten did not try to take them out at all. He is now unable to scratch the furniture. Please notr this is not harmful to the kitten at all and they are still able to use their claws as normal. They just can't actually scratch the furniture anymore! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy scratch free furniture!
