We have been using Soft Claws® for a couple of years on one of our boys. He just refused to use the cat scratchers we have scattered around the house and ruined our couch. Instead of declawing, which was dh's first instinct, we agreed to first give the Soft Claws a try. I cannot say enough go things about them. One of our strays came to us declawed, but our other 5 boys, all indoor cats, all have their claws trimmed about every 2 weeks. On the day that everyone is getting their trim, the guy who wears the Sof Claws also gets his "manicure". If any of the claw caps has fallen off that particular nail is trimmed and a new cap put over the nail. Yes, yes they do fall off, but more often that not they "grow out" and just get replaced at the time of the next "manicure". Really not a problem at all. If we have to trim the cats claws anyway, it is not that much more trouble to put the cap on and by far a better outcome than declawing. |
