    We have an exterior fiberglass door and two dogs that scratch for no less than 15 minutes per dog daily when they want it. There are no signs of claw marks whatsoever. There is however muddy prints on the door. The door was installed 1.5 years ago.
    That would be ~280 minutes of straight scratching. One dog is a Red Bone Coon Hound the other is and American Eskimo. They are have healthy nails. I am looking for something that I can use in the house to mitigate cat damage on trim. Literally one of
    my door jams is nothing but shredded tooth picks. Someone has got to make something for that.

    It isn't very stylish but I clad the door the cat scratches on when he
    wants out with aluminum flashing. It's easily cut to size with tin snips
    and glued on with panel cement.

    A .22 short should solve the cat problem . The dogs can be taught to
    bark instead of scratching . My Mountain Cur does .

    While looking for something else on Amazon, I found a number of products:

    https://www.amazon.com/double-sided-sticky-tape-cats/s?k=double+sided+sticky+tape+for+cats

    They are all basically double sided tape. Apparently cats hate sticky
    paws as much as I do. From most of the reviews it's almost a one shot
    deal.
