I brought my 2.5 year old Bengal/Jungle cat, Sheba, in for her 1st soft paws application as we just moved into a new home with wall to wall carpeting which she saw as her own 2000 + square foot scratch post!I did a lot of research in advance on how well soft paws and the like work and though they're not perfect I thought they might work. Based on my previous failed attempts at trimming Sheba's nails, though, I knew I needed professional help! I scoured Yelp for local groomers and vets and finally settled on Family Petcare as they not only offered the best price but the receptionist was super patient, polite and helpful and unlike other places I called, she said I could be in the room with them!I was soooo relieved at how well Charlotte and Meredith handled Sheba. They were very calm, gentle but in control with her, & she is a big, muscular girl who doesn't tolerate having her nails touched, yet alone trimmed!When I brought Sheba home she worked on chewing off the soft paws but so far, after two days of diligent effort, she's only managed to take off three, and all on her back paws, which she's least likely to scratch up the carpet with. I hope the rest stay on for a few weeks. Meredith and Charlotte said they could last as long as 8 weeks. If nothing else, at least I'll bring Sheba back for regular nail trims.Thank you everyone at Family Petcare, especially Charlotte, Meredith and the receptionist who works Friday late afternoons!
