When measuring the sole of their paws, do we include the claws?

I would say that if the claws are clipped regularly than I would think it is unnecessary to include them in measuring.

Catherine - each cat is unique, some will take all one size on all of their nails, but some may have larger nails on the hind feet.I have both medium and large sizes at hand for my cats. Female cats tend to have smaller claws than the males - so medium may work.

Yes, measure the front and back paws (my dog's are pretty much the same size).My dog fits in both the Blue ones and the Black ones. The Blue are smaller and a little harder to get on her though. So I started ordering the Black (little bit easier to put on).

I think so. I have wood floors and my dig slips on them, but when he wears the boots it gives traction so he won't slip. They have padding inside so they don't hurt his paws.

I measured my dogs paw with a tape measure and there is a size chart to guide when u order the paw booties... by the way there are great to have and last a very long time..... good luck.... hope this tip has helped you

I had a declawed cat who could climb trees. Only the front claws are removed, they still keep their back claws and they can use those to climb.

Easiest way is to measure from the back of the pad to the end of the nails. My 20lb. min. poodle wears a Medium (the blue ones). He has a lot of hair so needs a bit of extra room. They work well for us as his hair works like a sponge when it is wet.

Don't know, sorry. The claws are not marked and the packaging is long-gone.

I don't know. I think it looks that way, but it's not really. My cat's claws look that way for a couple of days. But I really don't know.

You need to measure your shitzu's paws and pick the right size. I wouldn't know.

If the 7 year old cat gets his/her claws clipped regularly, the additional handling of the paws shouldn't be too traumatic. I started my cat on them from a kitten and while she isn't happy with it, it's like taking medicine: it's something we have to go through.

Typically the soft paws are only used on the front feet as this mostly protects furniture from scratching and climbing damage.Although our cats occasionally scratch a bit with their bare back feet, this is nothing like the damage done previously.They can, and do, still scratch furniture when they are startled and take-off on a tear.This method still allows cats to claw with their back feet if fighting as this is the most common defense (clawing with the back feet).Other people may have installed Soft Claws on all four paws but we find it unnecessary.

my Newfie has 4 inch paws. I bought him the xlarge which says it is 4 inches. They fit really snugly and I wish they were about 1/4 - 1/2 inch larger. They work okay as is though. The website has a good description of the sizes. The small says it is 2-1/4 inch, the medium 2-3/4 I think. Measure carefully. You want them reasonably snug so they don't slip. I hope this helps

Measure from the bottom paw pad to the tip of the nail, down the middle. Similar to placing the palm of your hand face down and measuring from the wrist to the middle finger. These are ballons and if they fit properly they work well, dogs cant get them off. They fit like a glove. Hope this helps!

Yes you have to measure your dog from neck to tail and also your dogs height

I couldn't tell you for sure, but I bought them and they are pretty neat. Not one is alike, some short, some long and all of the fur is different. You can feel the toenails. I was happy with them
