Put a pause to the claws

Soft Claws nail caps are a creative solution for cat owners whose felines eschew the scratching post in favor of their favorite chair, but who also don’t want to resort to the extreme of declawing. Soft Claws come in resealable packages with 40 caps, two tubes of adhesive and instructions for application. If your cat is used to having its nails clipped, then he’ll probably be fine with nail caps; but if you feel uncomfortable with the process, most veterinarians can do it for you for a small fee. The caps come in all different sizes and in a range of colors: natural, purple, pink, blue and red. Soft Claws are available for purchase at PetCo. To purchase, go to petco.com or visit the store off of Siegen Lane. For more information on the product, visit softclaws.com.
