What are Nail Caps?

They are vinyl nail caps that are glued on to your cat's existing nails. They are completely safe and humane and can be used on animals of all ages. They may look like a bit of a fashion statement, but are actually used for practical purposes. In fact, they were invented by a veterinarian who wanted to create a humane and effective solution to cat and dog scratching and walking problems.

Why get them? How do they help?

Cat's nails contain an immense amount of bacteria which can be very harmful if they scratch other animals, humans, or even themselves. Nail Caps stops this from happening, while also saving your furniture from being torn apart, and the cat's nails from getting caught in things like carpet.

Nail caps can also help disabled or elderly pets grip when walking.

Are they uncomfortable?

Most often, animals don't even notice they are wearing them and are designed so that they won't interfere with the normal extension and retraction of their claws. They tolerate them extremely well.

When some animals first wear them, they may try to bite them off because they feel a bit "weird." However, Nail Caps are safe and non-toxic, and even if they manage to get them off, the caps are only they size of a small pill and cause no harm if ingested (the adhesive is the same type of adhesive used in many veterinary procedures.)

How long do they last?

For cats, they fall off naturally as the nail sheds. They usually last between four and eight weeks. However, the first time they use them they may fall off a little earlier.

How many in a pack?

There are 20 nails in a pack - 18 for all the cat's nails (10 on the front, 8 on the back) and two spare just incase there are some ruined or lost in the process.

Sizing

XS: 0.5-2.5kgs

S: 2.5-4kg

M: 4-6kg

L: >6kg

This is a general guide. Just like humans, the size of the animal does not always determine the size of the nail, however, this is generally a good estimate.

*Please note that Nail Caps can not be exchanged after purchase due to health and hygiene reasons
