Does your dog jump and scratch the door? For some dogs, when they get excited, greeting you at the door and/or alerts you, they jump and have a tendency to scratch the door? Clawguard offers a solution to protect your door from dog scratches.
When Sugar was a young pup, she made lots of markings on our front and back doors. Sugar particularly made lots of paw scratches and nose prints. Nowadays, Sugar just stands by the door but there are times she likes placing her nose by the door. The Clawguard has been helpful especially when we are currently in a temporary place. We only have one main access door. The door is also painted white. The Clawgurad is a pawsome way to protect the door from Sugar’s nose marking.
If you have a dog that scratches your door, Clawguard keeps your door clean and scratch-free. It is made in the USA using recycled plastic, which is thin but sturdy. You can either use the smooth or textured surface. When your dog scratches the smooth side, the sound is minimal. The textured side delivers a sound that is easier to hear.
How does Clawguard Protect Your Door from Dog Scratches?
The Clawguard is easy to install and easy-to-remove without compromising the integrity of a door. It hangs from the doorknob or lever knobs. The coverage area measures 18″W x 43″L which protects both the door and door frame from damage caused by pet claws. Clawguard was designed to fit standard interior and exterior doors and door frames. However, if you need a custom-fit door shield, it can be trimmed with household scissors.
Here’s a video on how the Clawguard works:
The Clawguard does not hinder you when you open or close the door. The bottom part has a tendency to move or lift. Clawguard offers an optional velcro fasteners for added stability. Visit Clawguard’s Gallery page for photos on the different ways to use on your door.
The Clawguard was made for dogs but cat owners can use it too. We know many cats that scratch both doors and door frames.
Do you have a use for Clawguard?
Replacing a door can be costly and touching up door paint can become tiring. If you have a dog scratcher, Clawguard is your inexpensive solution. It will help you protect your door from wear and tear caused by your furry friend. You can purchase Clawguard at Clawguard.com.

Honestly, that would have worked really well for our big brother!! And for our German Shepherd before him…they were always getting in to things!! Shiva Marie actually chewed a whole right through the drywall! Boy, she got in trouble for that!! We can’t reach that high up…so it is not a problem for us. The Clawguard seems like a terrific invention!
My dogs scratch the door when they want to go outside or when they want to come back inside.
I have never had a dog that scratched at the door but it sounds like a good idea for those that do
Mom would rather have a NOSE ART GUARD on the french Door windows…
that’s a super easy way to protect a door, pawesome idea!
OHHHHH SUGAR WISH WE HAD THAT 13 YEARS AGO. WHEN I WAS A WEE KITTEN I DECIDED TO REMODEL A DOOR FRAME…BUT DAD SAID I WAS A LOUSY CARPENTER MOL MOL MOL
HUGS MADI YOUR BFFF
Great idea! So useful… ours gets scratched up just from everyone down there waiting to out.
OMG DO I EVER NEED THIS!!!!! (I especially needed it a few years ago though)….we live in an apt/condo….when dogs lived across the hall Dakota literally destroyed the bottom of our door trying to get to them. (we now have metal on the bottom)
He still will go to scratch (and attack) the door because we now have a toddler living across the hall who teases him.
I am constantly worried about him scratching the wood off of our door again.
My only concern, is this plastic? My cat is obsessed with plastic, can my cat chew through this?
I would LOVE to win this to try it out.
Thanks for the opportunity!
That is such a great idea. Bentley uses the blinds to tell us he wants outside.
Very clever, I need that on the side of the door too, gman wrecked the side of my door with his scratching
Oh yes we sure could do with that on our back door. Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly
We need to get one of those for our friend
Snorts,

Mr. N scratches the door sometimes when he’s anxious when we leave.
Shiloh scratches the door when we’re outside shoveling and he’s stuck inside.
she does this when we go outside without her and she will do it when she wants to go out
My dog Bailey scratches to let us know he has to go outside and my cat Jasmine scratches
because she just loves to scratch
They scratch the door to go out.
My 4 big rescued dogs scratch to go in or out. One of them is smart and figured out that scratching on the door gets everyone up to see what’s going on. Then he steals the prime seat on the couch!
It would be great for my one dog who scratch at my front
door when some one arrives.
We need this in the main living area. The dogs are left in this living area during the day with access to outdoors via a doggy door. I keep them there because it is far away from the street so they don’t spend all day defending our house.
This has meant though that the one door that leads to the house is really scratched up. As far as I know they only do it when they can hear that one of us has come home. They jump up and down and their tootsies scratch up the door and wall nearby. I mentioned to my partner that we might need something like this!
When they get excited, or need to refresh their nails
My youngest collie has scratched when we are outside and he wants to be with us. We’ve nipped it in the bud but just bought a camper and think this would come in handy with the door to the camper.
my dog scratches at the bottom of the door to be let out and the cats use it as a nail sharpener, ughh
I don’t need it but am sure there are many foster families that do so would donate it to one of the rescue organizations – love sharing even when its things we have won 🙂
Scratching to go in and out.
I really need this. I board dogs in my home. My doors are trashed.
What cause my dog and cat to scratch the door is to either go out to the bathroom or to come inside
When they need to go out potty they scratch the back door!
When he smells the food bucket coming…..
It’s usually when they want to come in from outside. This is especially true for a few dogs I sit for.
a leaf dropping, the wind blowing, a bird flying by, the UPS guy, the garbage guy, the mailman, grass growing, you get the idea? Yeahhhhh
my pups go crazy when we come home!
the fact that they want to get where their people are
My large cat scratches the bedroom door when he wants in.
My April scratches at the door when she wants to come in… which is usually right after I sit down and get comfortable.
My pups scratch at the door when they hear us come home.
He does it when I leave, or go outside. He also does it if he hears anyone outside
My dog scratches the door to go out
Mine doggies scratch on the door because they want inside or inside whatever room you are in that they are not! 🙂
Our pup Bowser scratches at the door some days when his separation anxiety is bothering him. 🙁
When she has to go outside, or someone is coming over; she goes crazy scratching the door!
He gets excited when we come home!!!
My dog is just spoiled rotten! She usually scratches the door to go outside or to come back in.
My dog only scratches the door when she wants to go outside or come inside.
My boxer Frankie has separation anxiety. He will destroy the house if left alone. We took the spare bedroom and turned it into his room. We made it a positive place for him with behavior conditioning. He is getting better when left alone in his room. The biggest problem now is he will scratch on the door when he wants out. This would really help us from having to replace another door and combat his last issue.
They scratch when they want to go outside.
Yoshi scratches the door if he hears someone in the hallway or wants to go outside. He will also scratch and jump up if I go out to get the mail, etc. without him.
When we leave the house she scratches!
From wanting to go outside, thanks for the chance
When he wants outside or to come back in. Thank you
She scratches to go outside or come back inside.
When she wants to go out, or when someone is at the door, or when someone leaves. So, pretty much all the time. LOL.
When they either want to go in or out depending on what side of the door they are on.
