So I've been thinking on using nail caps on my kitten she is not a big scratch but sometimes my sisters dog comes over and they play but she claws him and I don't want him to get hurt. Is it too cruel? And how do they work?
Perfectly said. I don't use them, but don't think they are cruel either. I do not think using the nail caps for this kitten is really necessary. The dog doesn't live with you. Also, the dog can be trained to leave the kitten alone, right? Although, maybe it is the kitten wanting to play :dk:. Also, trimming the tips off of the kittens nails is the way to go here. If you need instruction to do so, I would recommend going to a groomer OR the vet, and have them show you how to trim the kittens claws. This can be done each week!!!Unless the dog has some kind of skin condition, just trimming the kittens' nails should be enough to prevent dog damage. I wouldn't recommend using nail caps for that. But I also don't think using nail caps is cruel . I just don't think they should be used unnecessarily.
