1. Great fit

   Posted by Cheryl T on 23rd Apr 2024

   I bought the large size after the mediums were too tight on most of my cat's nails. These fit great, stay on, and my dopey orange tabby does not even notice them! He's ruined most of the current furniture (and several shirts) but I'm happy that our new couches and chairs will be spared.

2. House-saver!

   Posted by Tara M on 22nd Apr 2024

   My cat's are large cats, with extra toes, and big personalities, which means lots of potential damage! Getting these nail covers was a lifesaver in so many ways. For the most part, my cats tolerate getting them put on, and they stay on well. I do wish that they would make an extra large size because my cat's nails are thicker than a normal cat, and so even the large size isn't big enough, but the dog sizes aren't correctly shaped. So I do have to do some altering to the caps so that they go on my cat's extra thick nails (splitting them open on the bottom, reshaping the open edge, etc). But even with that they stay on very well.

3. They're a Lifesaver!

   Posted by Unknown on 16th Nov 2022

   I love these and wouldn't be able to have nice things if these didn't exist and work so well. My boys love to scratch at things for a variety of reasons and the peace of mind knowing they're not destroying anything is priceless.
   
   My cats are Hemmingways, so their nails are larger and thicker than even large-breed cats, almost like a dog nail. I get the large cat nail covers. Sometimes they aren't large enough, but I'm able to work with them by slitting open the back of the tip/cover slightly.
   
   They're easy to put on (even with my slippery, squirrely cat who doesn't cooperate with anything) and last a long time. I like the glitter ones, since it's easier to see how much glue is in the nail and I feel like they're a little softer and easier for me to work with. I buy extra glue tip nozzles since those are single-use, and keep the glue in the fridge once open and that extends how long I can use the same glue bottle.

4. Saves Upholstery & Skin!

   Posted by Cat Gramma on 23rd Sep 2022

   Recently had the "grandcats" move in with us and our two cats for an extended visit. They were not happy to be here and even though we had to have the vet sedate them to put the first set on, it was well worth it. Now we're able to apply the replacements with no problem and everybody's happier!
   
   If you have a kitty who's not thrilled about getting their nail caps on, we've found a two-person method that works well! One holds the kitty mommy-kitty style by the scruff of the neck and the other applies the caps.

5. Back Claws use

   Posted by Geni P Hawkins on 13th Dec 2021

   I'm using these a little differently from most: not to protect anything from the cat, but to protect the cat from herself. I have a chronically itchy girl who has a bad habit of digging at her neck and ears with her back claws. We've had her to the vet numerous times, and she's probably spent more time IN a cone in her 2 years than out of one. The Soft Paws are helping, along with an oral anti-itch medication, much more than even steroids did. I have to check her back claws once or twice a day, because she's a wizard at getting them off, but they allow her to scratch more like a normal cat, instead of self-mutilating. Fingers crossed we can keep her out of a cone!
   
   She's a 17-lb Maine Coon girl, and the large size fits her back claws quite well. Applying them is a piece of cake.

6. Wrong fit

   Posted by Martha on 3rd Mar 2021

   My cat is 14 lbs so I ordered the large soft paws. Today I took him to a groomer who said he needs small. So far he's doing fine with the small, and I'm exchanging the large.
   
   Message from Dr Schelling at Soft Paws:
   Thank you for your comments. Many cats have different bone structure and that can affect sizing, as well as if a cat is overweight. You can always contact us for assistance and we would be happy to help.

7. AMAZING!

   Posted by Bree on 22nd Feb 2021

   I wish i had known about these a lot sooner! They are amazing! It can be a tad difficult to get a rhythm down while putting them on, but once you do it it's easy peasy. I would say that the video that shows the cat being totally cool with having them put on is a little misleading. My cats were not ok at first. My husband had to hold them and love on them before they were cool with it. But they stay on and last for a while. Will for sure be buying again.

8. Best version of this product

   Posted by Emily on 17th Nov 2020

   These are a lifesaver. My cat is an anxious clawer and had destroyed my old couch. Since starting to use these both of our stress levels have gone down SO MUCH - he dislikes having them put on, but doesn't mind them otherwise, and with them he can claw furniture to his heart's content and do no damage. Be careful to check every day or two whether your cat has pulled off a claw, though! Mine does this pretty frequently but the protection is still absolutely worth it. I have noticed that the cleat locks prevent him from removing Soft Paws as quickly as other brands.
   
   Another note: other brands of claw protectors do not offer a size large enough for my Maine Coon's claws, so in that respect as well Soft Paws is the clear favorite. Thank you!

   This is just a great invention since declawing is inhumane for the cat. My cat still likes to scratch but seems to know when she's wearing these the furniture is off limits....only problem is she's defenseless if another cat attacks her.

10. Pleased like peas!
