Here you can find guides on wearing and caring for your costume parts!
We recommend getting a brush to keep your fur looking slick and nice. Prevent damage to the suit parts by avoiding rough surfaces like rocks, concrete, trees etc which can pull, tear and damage the fabric/fur. Knowing some basic hand sewing with needle/thread is super handy for small repairs/tears.
To clean faux fur items, we recommend hand washing with diluted detergent and a shower head or bathtub/sink. The handpaws can be machine washed in a mesh delicates bag with COLD WATER. Drip dry in front of a fan and GENTLY brush the fur straight while wet (if the fur dries crimped and rumpled it will stay that way dry, so you have to wet it again). Do not wring and NEVER EVER put in a dryer or use heat! Heat will permanently damage the fur! Hand washing and drip drying is best!
Thick parts with stuffing like tails will take a while to dry! Dry 100% before storage or else the moisture can develop mold. Use fur suit spray (available for purchase at most conventions or online, like on Etsy) to keep the parts fresh and free of odors. Look on YouTube for some great tutorials on how to clean and care for fur suit parts.
SAFETY
Fursuits or fursuit parts are essentially big, hot heavy carpets you wear. Wearing these pieces can limit movement, vision, hearing and ventilation. It is a costume meant to wear for fun in a safe, controlled environment.
- it is recommended you have a handler with you to help you safely navigate and monitor your heat/exhaustion levels.
- monitor breathing and body heat. Do not spend extended time out on hot days in sunlight or warm environments. Take breaks to cool off and hydrate. Remove suit and parts immediately if you feel faint or dizzy.
- Keep yourself, suit and parts away from flames, machinery, moving parts and anything that can cause bodily harm or injury or damage the costume
- Do NOT under any circumstance place yourself in dangerous situations while wearing the suit, including but not limited to: driving, operating machinery, extreme sports, swimming, campfires/fireplaces/cooking flames/lighters. Use of drugs and alcohol will impair your movement/judgement. Do not sleep in a fursuit.
- The maker is not liable for any injury, bodily harm, or damage to the suit. Practice safety and common sense while wearing any suit, part or costume. 
NOTE: FEETPAWS care have the same instructions as tails.

FAQ
Q: What are they made of?
A: they are 3D printed, durable and with a lovely matte finish.
Q: How do they attach?
A: You cut a small hole in the fur, and screw the screw/washer and claw together with a screwdriver.
Q: Can it come undone?
A: The screws are treated with a blue thread locker glue that activates when the screw is tightened, bonding the threads together so it can't be easily unscrewed.
Q: Does it damage the fur?
A: No. Only a tiny, tiny cut hole is necessary to get the screw through. It is then pressed tight between the claw and the washer, protecting the cut edge and preventing any unraveling.
Q: How do I clean them?
A: It is recommended that you hand-wash any paws that use these claws with cool/lukewarm water, rinse well and air dry only. (No heat/dryer) (This is generally good advice for any suit parts as it helps the fur last longer.)
Q: Aren't metal parts in suits dangerous?
A: Metal itself does not mean something is dangerous or harmful. There are metal parts (snaps, buttons, zippers) in clothes we all wear every day. The screws used in these claws are 1. Very small 2. Have no sharp edges. (They are called button head cap screws, designed to be safe to touch. Even the end is flat, not sharp at all) 3. Concealed deep in the claw and fabric when installed. 4. Stainless steel, for those with allergy concerns. This will also keep them from corroding and getting rust on the fur (kitchen sinks and pots and pans are made with stainless steel!) So why are they metal? Because metal is STRONG.
