How to Make Sure Your Soft Claws Will Fit

Softer claws will keep your cat from ruining furniture.

Cats scratch objects to keep their nails sharp for hunting. Most indoor cats, however, don't need sharp nails. One option to keep cats from destroying furniture, walls and clothes is to declaw them--but that could be dangerous for their paws. A solution to this problem is Soft Paws, a set of fake claws put on your pet's nails that allow them to claw without harm.

Instructions

Choose the Right Size Soft Paws

1. Weigh the cat and know its age--this will help determine the best size soft paws.

2. Visit softpaws.com to find the appropriate size for your cat. Select the size your cat would need based on its weight and age. You will find the weight to be the most important variable for adult cats. For young cats, their age will be the best indicator.

3. Visit a pet store or veterinarian who carries the Softpaw product to get assistance in choosing the right size. This will help if you're unable to weigh your cat at home, or you still aren't sure about the size or age.

4. Call Softpaws customer service to get expert advice for choosing the appropriate size. They might be able to assist you based on information you have about your cat such as weight, age and other conditions pertaining to your pet's claws.

Tips & Warnings

• Softpaws recommend trying one of the claws on when you receive them--without applying glue. If it doesn't fit, return unused claws and unopened glue in a padded envelope.
