Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

While on, these did save our floors and stopped our dog from over scratching her neck. My dog is a 50lb hound mix, so we purchased the xxl caps. Caps were easy to cut and put on. However along with other reviewers I can tell you this item requires too much fine tuning along with too many variables. Hair can be pushed out of the way upon application, however its Inevitable that glue will find its way to some hair once cap is fully applied. So if you take thread scissors to trim hair before hand you'll be in the clear. Second, some reviewers state these caps make their dogs nail beds sore, this is due to the owners not measuring then trimming the caps before application (ie user error). Third, some reviewers state that their dogs nails become infected. This is due to poor fitting and lack of glue to fully fill the cap on the inside. Once a bit of water/mud/bacteria get in there it's unhygienic to leave them on. All in all I'd say if you have a purely inside dog these might work, so long as you are meticulous with the application and your dog is obedient enough to let you. Our dog had them on for 2 days. On the second day she got to play outside. After inspection I found moisture and mud inside the caps. We CAREFULLY took a pair of needle nose tweezers and circled the nail until we could pull them off. Luckily our dog is very passive and was very forgiving during this process. To summarize : be sure not to apply too long of caps, trim/remove hair for safe and easy application, and be weary of moisture(even baths). If you can manage that then these are for you. However, we won't be purchasing these again.
