Great Product at a Great Price!
Works great and a better price than other brands. My dog has immune mediated polyarthritis and drags his right front paw along the sidewalk when we go for walks. Two of the nails on that paw were scraped to the quick and when I tried shoes they just made him trip. These were really hard to apply at first because the 2 nails were so short but after a month of use (and replacing the nails 3 time) his nails have grown out a lot and they stay on really well.

Super cute caps
Adorable claw caps. They do not bother my dog at all. The glue is great and dries quickly. Sizing is right on point. They last quite a while. Super easy to apply. Perfect for dogs who like to paw you or jump. I do wish they were a little cheaper but they work great.

Protection from sharp nails.
Work well but do not always stay on. Somewhat hard to get on. My dog is now trying to chew them off even though he has worn toenail covers for a long time. His nails are very sharp and hard to keep filed and shortened.

Some fell off, some were difficult to remove, some of that had to remove before trimming nails
After I glued eight over the hind feet nails, two came off eventually by themselves. When it was time for the dogs to get their nails clipped I could only get two more off and that was soaking them in 100% acetame. The vet had to grind the remaining for off and charged me $10, but told me if I brought her in with all eight next time a $22 nail clipping would cost me $80. They worked to some degree but not worth the hassle of not being able to get them off

Would not recommend for long term use without breaks between uses.
We purchased these for our 4 year old border collie, in order to protect our hardwood floors. At first, they seemed like an excellent solution - each set lasted appx 2-3 weeks, depending on how hard he ran on them. For a well behaved dog, putting them on wasn't difficult, and I was careful to check the nails afterwards to make sure that no hair had stuck to the caps & that his pads weren't sticking at all - as careful as I was with the glue, sometimes a little would end up coming out. Occasionally a cap would come off & need replacement & eventually he would start to wear the ends of the caps off, signaling it was time to trim his nails & replace the caps. One thing I did observe when changing the caps out, was that the inside of his nails seemed very soft & spongy - I assumed this was normal, considering he wasn't hardening his nails by running around on them anymore. A couple of months in, I started noticing that he was limping. After eliminating the possibility of injury, I started to question the nail caps. We were able to narrow it down to one of his toes - It took a huge amount of patience & care to remove the nail cap, as it was clearly very painful for him. Once removed, I noticed that the core of his nail was hollow and bloody. I left that cap out so that the nail could air out & heal, but within a few days he was limping on another foot. Same issue - removal was clearly very painful for him, and once again it appeared that the core of his nail was almost rotting out. At that point I removed all the caps from his nails & left them off for good. His limping cleared up very quickly & he has very healthy nails again. We will be looking to other solutions to protect our hardwood, as I would never put him through that again. In conclusion, I would use these again if I planned on taking at least a 2 week break between applications in order to let the nails breathe and harden naturally. I would never go straight from one set to the next again.

Helpful and simple
I really love these little caps! I got them to put on my 10yo standard poodles back feet to give him some extra grip on the hardwood floor after I saw him tweak his hip from slipping while playing. It definitely helped him and they were easy to put on and clip off. His stayed on for weeks, he only lost a few and the remaining ones came off easily on the next nail trim. We have a pet door and he’s in/out all day. They got a bit muddy but no more than his normal nails did, there wasn’t ever any indication moisture or mud caused him discomfort when wearing these caps. I used them on my hounds back feet recently as well and I have been thrilled with the results for her- she has terrible skin allergies and scratches herself raw. She’s very bad for getting her nails trimmed, so I’m unable to file them and they stay sharp after clipping, leading her to carve herself up like a Christmas ham the first opportunity she gets. Even though she is horrible for getting her nails done, she was absolutely marvelous for letting me put on these caps and it made an immediate difference in how much damage she caused when scratching. It’s definitely going to become part of our nail care routine to keep her back feet from being so sharp and to improve her confidence and trust when having her feet handled. Next time we are going for a cute color to make the whole experience more fun for me, so it’s more fun for her! These are nice to have around when you need them! When applying, just take into consideration your pets nail length and comfort. Check the nails every day for a few days after application to make sure everything is good and comfortable. Pictured: my female Ibizan hounds back foot with claw caps and front feet without Update: since my initial review I have been nothing but pleased with these caps! They stay on for weeks at a time when an appropriate amount of glue is used at the nail tip. I ordered sparkly gold for fun so I could doll up my hound- these caps have sincerely helped reduce her skin irritation when itching, and keeps those sharp claws I can’t file at bay so she doesn’t scratch me or the other dogs or blankets, etc. I love these!! I ordered a size too small in the gold, but they are staying on nicely and still cover those sharp tips to keep my baby safe.

Great but a bit tricky to put on.

Fantastiche! Il mio cane ha un problema a deambulare e prima dovevo mettergli la scarpetta, grazie a queste unghie scoperte da me su internet, entrambi abbiamo migliorato la nostra vita! L ho fatta mettere dal veterinario, si stacca circa dopo 15 giorni ma il mio cane vive all aperto. L unghia sotto nel mentre si riforma e poi c’è ne sono molte e si possono rimettere tantissime volte con un solo acquisto. Consiglio!!

They lasted a month the first time around. It seems a little less now that it's cold out, I think they get brittle. Indispensable if you want to save your hardwood floors! Our dog doesn't even know they are on unlike when he wears dog boots!

Came with 3 tubes of glue. All were dried out. Edit: so i bought some crazy glue and gave it a whirl. its not easy to judge how much glue to use, but application was straightforward otherwise. 2 people required: one to handle the glue and nails, one to keep puppy still. The nails looked kinda funny at first but they grew on us. They started falling off the next day however, probably because I didn't use enough glue. The package came with extra nail caps so I may try again before we refinish our floors.

I have to say, doh on this one. My cat is 17 yrs old. We've had a lot of ruined sofas and carpeting. A LOT. Why did I wait so long to try these nail caps out??? Had to take kitty to vet this week and the pretty pink caps got their seal of approval, so much so they took a pic of her toes and posted it on the practice web site / facebook. Once they were placed on kitty's nails, she hardly noticed them. And they go great with her pink collar and grey fur :)
