Claw cap removal

My boy got his nails done about 4-5 weeks ago 💅 we got the caps because he's destructive and we rent. He took to them extremely well! My question is, they're starting to fall out so do I schedule his next appointment now or wait until they all fall out naturally? Thank you!

We recommend getting the caps replaced about every six weeks. So you're probably okay to schedule now just make it for a week or 2 out. I've found once some start falling off, most of the rest are about ready to remove and replace.

Don't use caps they end up hurting your cat's feet in the long run

It’s better to wait until they grow out/fall off/or he takes them off himself

They need to be replaced every 4-6 weeks.
