What are Soft Claws®?

An excellent solution to problem dog scratching. Soft Claws® are vinyl nail caps that glue on to your dog's nails. They look like your dog's nails, only hollow. You fill them with the adhesive provided and glue them on to your dog's nails. The nail covers effectively blunt your dog's nails so no damage occurs when they scratch. They are completely safe and humane and can be used on dogs of all ages. Dogs tolerate the nail caps extremely well. Soft Claws® are easy to apply at home. Dogs and their owners love them. Everything is included in the kit for easy at home application. |
Are Soft Claws® safe, and do they hurt the dog?
| Soft Claws® are completely safe, painless and humane. They do not hurt the dog in any way. Soft Claws® are non-toxic. Even if your dog swallows one, no harm will occur. The nail cap will safely pass through the digestive system. |
Will Soft Claws® protect my hardwood floors?
| Yes! Soft Claws® are great for protecting hardwood floors from scratches incurred by dog's nails. The nail covers are also great for protecting other surfaces such as doors, walls and furniture. They also help prevent scratches to people. |

How many nail caps come in the Soft Claws® take home kit?
|
There are 40 nail caps per package. That is enough for 4 front paw applications or 2 front and rear paw applications. Once the nail caps are applied they remain in place for approximately 4-6 weeks. They will fall off with the natural growth of your dog's nails. We recommend that you check your dog's nails periodically because usually just one or two fall off at a time and these can be easily reapplied. Note: While the vast majority of dogs acclimate to the nail caps within minutes, some dogs may require an adjustment period. Dog's sometimes groom the nail-caps excessively at first. This may result in one or two falling off. No problem. Just check the nails daily at first, and if one is missing, simply replace it with another from the package. Thus, the first package may not last as long as subsequent packages. Again, most dogs do not even notice they are wearing them after the first 30 minutes. |
How do I apply Soft Claws®? Do I apply them to both the front and back paws?
|
Just follow the simple four step application instructions and you can easily apply the nail caps. You can preview the application instructions online. We also have email support or phone support (800) 989-2542.

How do I know what size my dog needs?
|
Visit our size chart. You can use this to determine what size your dog will use. X-Small: Soft Claws® will fit most puppies by the time they reach the age of 16 weeks (4 months). Some puppies can wear them as early as age 12 weeks (3 months). To test, try a nail cap on first without the adhesive. If it looks too big, don't glue it on. The nail cap should fit snugly, like a glove. To accommodate younger puppies, you can trim the base of the Soft Claws® nail cap making it smaller so it will fit your puppy's nail. Puppies and dogs up to about 5 pounds generally fit into the X-Small size. |
What if I select the wrong size?
| No problem. When you receive your package, first take one of the nail caps out and try it on your dog's nails without the glue. It should fit like a glove. If it is the wrong size just send the package back and we will exchange it for another size. Do not open the glue and make sure all components are present for return. Be sure to send it in a padded mailer so it remains in new condition. |
