Cat Nail Caps for Large Cats – (40 Caps, Clear) - Made in USA - 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 recently bought new furniture, and my cat was scratching it. We decided to try these and they work perfectly! She can’t scratch the furniture, but she CAN still climb (she even caught a mouse while wearing them). If I cut her nails before applying and use a lot of glue, they will stay on for 3+ weeks. And she looks super cute with her gold sparkly nails!

It's been close to two months and a few are still on. I removed them by clipping the tips off and carefully clipping the top of the arch off and then working the sides off her claws by clipping a little off the sires at a time. Her claws were so thick and long since they haven't been cut all this time. -- Edit: coming up on the 2-week mark and only 2 have fallen off. Took 2 minutes to replace (don’t forget to keep cat distracted until completely dry). So far so good. She doesn’t even notice them anymore. Guess old cats can learn new tricks! -- I bought a size large for a large breed cat weighing in at a hefty 14.5 pounds. I originally wanted silver glitter, but they did not offer that design in large size. I just got clear color which looks fine. They’re somewhat hard to notice anyway especially because my cat has a very big fluffy paws. The reason I got clear for the size large is because I was worried that if I got a color/size combination that’s probably not ordered by customers very often, I’d likely end up with an old package that’s been sitting in storage on some shelf and receive the hardened, thickened (probably old) glue that some of the reviews here complained about. Onto the actual product: There isn’t much room for improvement with regards to the design. It seems high-quality as even the inside of the caps are ridged (likely to increase the surface area adhesion with the between the claw and the cap). Luckily the glue was nice and watery. The pack comes with: - 40 claw nail caps - 2 tubes of glue - 6 precision applicators to attach to the tip of the glue tube. I recommend wearing a pair of nitrile gloves, if you have, and if you don’t have, do yourself a favor and buy a box of nitrile gloves for your household for general use. You won’t regret it. The instructions are good overall but it leaves out a pretty key detail that wouldn’t have been too hard to depict. While you’re supposed to cut off the tip of the glue tube before attaching the precision applicator, the instructions don’t tell you where exactly on the tip you should cut. And it turns out it’s actually very important for the tip of the glue tube to be cut at the exact right place in order for the precision applicator to “click” into place and attach properly with the glue tube. I added a photo of the tip of the glue tube and if you look closely, you can see a very small bump ringed around the shaft near the end of the glue tube. Once again, the instructions don’t mention this, but you want to cut off as much of the tip as possible *without cutting off this bump*. The reason is because the precision applicators have a small notch inside of them that is meant to click into place with this bump when you attach it to tube of glue. This helps make a secure attachment between the applicator and the glue tube, so that when you squeeze the glue out of the tube, it flows straight through to the pointed end of the precision applicator as opposed to spelling out from the sides and making a giant mess. I would have liked it if the pack contained a few nail caps that were slightly smaller for the smaller claws in the “pinky“ position. My cat is used to having her nails regularly trimmed, but this was relatively new experience for her so this the first time she’s ever tried to bite me. I guess she just didn’t like the sensation of having her nails pressed out while the nail caps are simultaneously somewhat pushing back upon them. The opening of the nail caps are somewhat slim so they don’t exactly “slide” into place over some of her thicker claws. Once we were finished, I put a small dog sweater that I have for her for these seldom occasions in order to distract/subdue her from immediately grooming her paws and pulling off the nails. If you have a medical cone, I think it would also work. Just leave it on for about 10 minutes until the glue sets into place because if your cat is anything like mine, she will immediately want to pull off the nails and you don’t want kitty ingesting freshly-squeezed wet glue. After I took off the dog sweater, she began trying to pull off her nails for the next half hour, rather aggressively I should add. I included a video so you can see. Impressively, none of the nails came off.. So the glue and caps seem effective even 10 or 15 minutes after setting in as you can see in the video. It’s only been day one, but I am hopeful that this will prevent her from tearing up my duvet while she’s got the zoomies. It turns out these are safe for ingestion, but keep in mind it may irritate the stomachs of senior cats or cats with sensitive stomachs. For reference, my cat is 8 years old.

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

j ai acheté ce produit pour éviter les griffures sur mon rideau , j ai pris taille chaton la colle n est pas facile a mettre dedans mais une fois mis hop on n enfile sur l ongle légèrement couper ou pas. dans la boite il y a un change heureusement car dans le debut mon chaton a essaye de les enlever.il faut vraiment l habituer petit a moins que votre chat soi docile depuis plus de soucis.

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!
