- Dr. Toby Wexler invented Soft Claws as an alternative to painful declawing surgery.
- Like false fingernails for humans, Soft Claws are glued on to the cat's nails. As the nails grow, the Soft Claws fall off and need to be replaced.
- Soft Claws are available in a variety of colors and sizes, and come with application instructions.
- The nail caps are nontoxic and pass easily through the digestive system if swallowed. They're applied with the same adhesive used in many veterinary procedures.
- Cats wearing Soft Claws can still extend and retract their claws. And they can still stretch and scratch, but since their nails are covered, they won't damage the furniture.
- Declawing is more than a "manicure." In declaw surgery, the veterinarian removes the top digits of the cat's toes. Declawing affects a cat's balance and posture, and can cause many more problems than it solves. The United States is one of the few countries where it is not illegal.
