Veterinarian has the Humane Solution to Cat Scratching Problems As featured on ABC News, Fresno, California

Many cat owners have tried repellant, placing tape on furniture and some have even considered declawing as a final solution.

But many believe that declawing (the surgical removal of the cat’s claw and joint) is inhumane and it is illegal in most developed countries except the US and Canada.

Veterinarian and cat lover, Dr. Christianne Schelling, says that scratching is normal behavior for cats and it is the number one problem for cat owners.

Dr. Schelling now markets a unique product that provides a safe and humane alternative to declawing and solves the problem of cat scratching for both the cat and the cat’s owner.

The product is Soft Paws®, a patented nail cap that works for both cats and dogs. It’s easy to apply and inexpensive. One package of Soft Paws costs less than $18 and lasts about four to six months.

Do they really work? ABC News, Fresno, California aired a news feature on Soft Paws and had a consumer try them on her cat, Homer. Homer’s owner said “they slip right on, easier than I thought. It fits on perfect! It doesn’t go too far up and it doesn’t look like it hurts him.”

Dr. Schelling doesn’t just market Soft Paws, she is also a Soft Paws customer. “I love Soft Paws and use them on my own cats. That’s when I realized that not many people knew about them and decided to start the Soft Paws website. www.softpaws.com
