Product listings show nail caps are made from plastic, specifically vinyl.
Listings show nail caps sold in packs of 40 pieces and 50 pieces.
Listings report that nail caps generally shed after about 4–6 weeks, while some list up to 4–8 weeks — so the reported timeframe is roughly 4–8 weeks after application.
Descriptions state the caps do not interfere with normal extension and retraction — nails can extend and retract without disturbance.
At least one package lists contents as 40 caps plus two adhesive tubes and two application tips. Application steps shown include trimming the nail, filling the cap about one-third with adhesive, sliding the cap onto the nail, and observing the pet for a few minutes to ensure proper placement.
Products include options for both dogs and cats; some cat listings note suitability for all ages, including kittens.
Descriptions highlight that nail caps can prevent pet scratching, protect furniture and floors from damage, and reduce the clicking sound of nails on hardwood floors.
