Do you recommend declawing for my cat?
We do not recommend declawing but understand that it is a service some clients will request. The surgical procedure involves amputating the last piece of bone off of each toe. Nails grow from this part of the bone. Surgical recovery is more painful for older and heavier cats. If you are comfortable with the surgery and plan keep your cat indoors, then the surgery can be performed.
If you really don’t like the idea of the surgery, two other options are:
1. Soft Paws: Vinyl nail caps that are glued over the cat’s own nails. The cat cannot damage materials when it scratches due to the soft, rounded ends. The nail caps usually last 4-6 weeks and fall off as the nail begins to grow
2. Nail trimming once to twice a month
