Don't ever de-claw; it is literally amputating the last joint, very painful and damaging. Your vet sounds like one of many who oppose it or try to avoid doing it. If you trim nails routinely and give them s/t they like to scratch, like those cardboard flats, or a rope-log they won't be as destructive. I can't imagine those stick-on's will stay for long, but who knows.
