Soft Claws Dog Nail Caps, Medium Clear, 40 Count for Grip and Scratch Protection

Soft Claws Dog Nail Caps are clear, flexible vinyl covers designed to help medium dogs gain grip on slippery floors and reduce damage from scratching, with 40 caps per kit.

• USA-made, veterinarian-invented patented design — created to support dogs’ footing and help protect against unwanted scratches.
• Medium size for dogs weighing 10–15 lb (4.5–6.8 kg) — a size guide for choosing caps that fit your dog.
• 40 caps, 2 tubes of USA-made adhesive, and 6 applicator tips — supplies for applying the caps at home.
• Three-step application, with each application lasting 4–6 weeks — a straightforward routine as claws grow.
• Non-toxic materials designed to be safe if accidentally swallowed — caps pass through the digestive system.

Slippery flooring can make it harder for some dogs to keep their footing, while scratching may damage floors, furniture, or sensitive skin. Soft Claws are made for these everyday concerns, including senior dogs with arthritis or dogs that struggle on slick surfaces. They also help reduce self-injury from scratching and provide a cover for dogs prone to hot spots.

How do Soft Claws help dogs on slippery floors?

Soft Claws add grip support for dogs that have trouble walking on slippery surfaces. The flexible caps cover the claws, helping senior dogs and dogs with mobility challenges regain footing while still allowing natural movement during daily activities.

• Made from vinyl, with USA-made materials.
• Designed to help protect hardwood floors, walls, and furniture from claw scratches.
• May help protect children, seniors, and people with sensitive skin from accidental scratches.

What dog size are these caps for, and what is included?

The Medium size is designed for dogs weighing 10–15 lb (4.5–6.8 kg). The kit contains 40 caps, 2 tubes of adhesive, and 6 applicator tips, with enough caps for up to 6 months of protection.

• Clear caps provide a cover over the dog’s claws.
• The adhesive is made in the USA.
• Detailed application instructions are included.

How do you apply Soft Claws, and how long do they last?

Apply each cap in three steps: trim the dog’s nails, put adhesive into a cap, and slide the cap onto a nail. Each application lasts 4–6 weeks; as claws grow, the lightweight caps shed naturally.

• Veterinarians and groomers can also help with application.
• Regular nail growth and shedding continue while the caps are worn.

Can these nail caps help protect skin from scratching?

Yes. Soft Claws cover the claw tips to help reduce scratching-related injuries and protect sensitive skin. They are intended for dogs that scratch themselves, including dogs needing hot spot protection, and can also help limit accidental scratches to people nearby.

• The caps have a flexible fit intended not to interfere with natural movement.
• The design supports natural nail growth rather than preventing it.
• Soft Claws were invented by a veterinarian and are manufactured in the USA.

Soft Claws suit medium dogs that need grip support on slippery flooring, or a claw covering to help limit scratching and protect sensitive skin. The clear vinyl caps are made for everyday movement and nail growth, not to stop claws from growing or shedding.
