I have asked by several readers about the nail covers shown on Logan, my daughter’s evil, blog-invading, kitty cat.

They are called “Soft Paws” and they were developed by a veterinarian. Soft Paws are vinyl nail caps to which adhesive is applied, the caps are then slipped over your dog or cat’s toenails. They are completely safe, even if you pet manages to chew them off and swallow the pieces. Soft Paws can help protect hardwood floors, screens, doors, furniture, bedding and guests from the damage inflicted by razor sharp toenails.

They also help protect your pet from excessive scratching which can lead to sores, hot spots and so on.
