"Very easy to use - have a 85lb Golden Retriever and 14lb cat - one kit was enough with a bit left over. Definitely a two person job - used a cookie cutter for cat ornament. A bit squishy after it is dry, will leave a mark if you put your nail in it, other than that, pretty sturdy. Would recommend!"

— TAMMY

"Disappointment. Bought for our dog to make a keepsake before he passed. We barely can see his toenails. It looks nothing like the product image here. You have to wet the paw and push it HARD into the clay."

Bottom Line

While the product is easy to use for those who receive a good batch, the high risk of receiving a defective product makes it a gamble. If you're willing to take the chance, it can be a good keepsake for your pet. However, if quality and reliability are important to you, consider other options.
