Abstract
A pet toe nail cover is provided with a predetermined quantity of liquid adhesive that is stored at the tip end of the cover. The liquid adhesive is covered by a frangible seal which can be penetrated by the animal toe nail when the cover is fitted on the toe nail. The adhesive is released and cures in place, firmly attaching the cover to the toe nail. In alternative embodiments, the cover can be provided with a reservoir end covered by an airtight seal or the adhesive can be provided in a capsule or globule that is stored in the cover and penetrated when the cover is applied to a toe nail.
