I take my labrodoodle to an Adult Day Care. I worry that his nails will scratch someone even though I keep them trimmed. Would these help?

I suspect it wouldn't be a good idea to leave them on your dog all day every day. But they would defianately protect others from his nails. I would gradually get his nails shorter and shorter. And of course train him not to jump. After 3 Goldens, I found that pretty easy to do.

I think they would. They are thick enough as long as the nails are trimmed. What a great way to share your love of dogs!

If u can get him to wear them, they should help. They are a sturdy rubber and the nails don't poke through.

I'm not sure what the Pawz are made from, but I believe some other reviews mention them tearing, so you might want to look at that. Plus, you need to consider how long your dog's nails are--will they either push through the Pawz, be felt through the Pawz, or will it be uncomfortable for your dog? I really can't answer these questions but you might find some answers in other reviews, or buy a set and experiment. Hope all goes well for you at Day Care!

It might, but long claws will poke through sooner or later. Best to keep them trimmed.

Probably not. My dogs wouldn't tolerate having something on their nails and chewed them off. All dogs are differentIf your dogs dig alot the caps will Most likely come off as they are just a soft rubber held on with cyanoacrylate (super glue) Hope this helps.

Karin, No, the groomer cannot clip the nails. The nail caps cover the entire nail and grow out with time. My dog lost them naturally. Be warned though, the dogs nails will get long as they won't wear down like they normally do from walking on pavement or running in the yard.

The nails are encased in a plastic cover that helps alleviate scratches. The plastic is hard but not as sharp as the real nail would be. I take my dog to the vet where she is groomed and have them put them on her claws after they trim them. This is done every 4-6 weeks and has helped alleviate scratches to our hard wood floors. Wax marks are now left on the sliding glass doors as she jumps up when she sees squirrels, but these are washed off easily. I hope this information helps you. My Irish Setter rarely chews on them after they are on her claws.

I have not had any problems using this product on my dog. I just took a couple of days and let him get used to the noise etc. before trying to trim his nails. I suggest you do the same with a cat. Just let the trimmer slowly be smelled and examined by the pet and then let them hear the noise it makes before ever trying to trim the nails.

Yes, I would say it is. A few tips as I've been doing dog's nails all my life. 1) If the nails are long or you're unfamiliar with their nails, only trim the very tip. Do this every 7-10 days. 2) Bend their paws toward the rear. You can see their cuticle on the underside plus it won't pull their joint out and hurt them. Added benefit is if they try to bite, they can only reach your side. Nothing vital. Good luck!

I use it on my own nails so, I don't see why not. As always with dogs nails, be careful not to cut too deep but, otherwise, I see no problem. I bought them as an experiment on my own nails. Prolonged periods in wet weather without the liberty of letting feet & boots dry out caused me problems and regular trimmers did not work but these worked fine. Hope this helps.

I do not know. I do know that it works well for the uses that it is recommended for. Probably the scratching and biting when playing with you will have to be a behavior modification project.

We have had no problems with scratching. My dog (an old Golden) is quite skittish, so he's not quite sure about it & he's kind of rough going up & down & no scratches. So rest assured.

We have cats and their claws will scratch the leather I know. We cover them with blankets when not using them.

I use them on my two year old sometimes but I like her little ones better for her. Kids have tiny fingernails and I'm paranoid. But yes I have done it before :)

Sorry, I gave this as a "stocking stuffer" to my daughter who trims her dogs' nails. No idea. Isn't there manufacturer's contact info on the label? If not, you could do a computer search for them and get the customer services number or contact info.

I've had this cat for only 10 days or so. cannot advise specifically. clipping can be dangerous if not done properly. amazon has these rubber tips to put on the nails. I provide the scratch lounger to file them down. if you really think clipping is necessary, maybe a visit to vet.

No, if you size the collar correctly, they do NOT hurt the animal. The animal will only feel the discomfort from the nubs when you are making a correction which is what it is designed to do. Now, the harder the correction, the more the animal will feel it and could yelp if you pull to much, to quick (hard).

There is a very strong possibility, especially if the dog has longer nails. I use the product for newborns so there is not a lot of movement.

I've used them on my collies, my cats (tiny nails), and my son's bulldogs (very thick nails) and it was fine on all. It was more about my skill than the nail size.
