HandsOn Grooming Gloves are a pair of gloves covered in raised rubber nubs across the palm and fingers, sized to be worn rather than held. You groom by petting: the nubs catch loose undercoat and it collects on the glove surface as a mat you peel off in one piece. Because they are gloves, they work on the parts of an animal a brush struggles with, like legs, face, and belly, and they can be used wet during a bath to work shampoo down to the skin. They fit dogs, cats, and horses, and the pair includes both hands with a wrist closure. Best fit: double-coated shedders, animals that will not sit still for a slicker brush, and bath-time lathering.
Pros
- The animal experiences it as petting, so anxious dogs and most cats tolerate it far better than a brush
- Works wet in the bath to push shampoo through a thick coat
- Shed fur peels off the glove in one sheet instead of scattering
- Reaches legs, belly, and face where a rigid brush is awkward
Cons
- On a heavy double coat it lifts loose surface fur well but will not strip a packed undercoat the way a dedicated deshedding rake does
Frequently asked questions
Do these work on cats or only dogs?
They work on both. Cats that resist brushes often accept these because the motion reads as petting. They also work on horses.
Can I use them in the bath?
Yes, that is one of the main uses. The nubs work shampoo down through the coat to the skin, and wet fur sticks to the glove for easy removal.
How do you clean the fur off?
The collected fur peels off the glove surface in a sheet. The gloves themselves rinse under a tap and air dry.
Will they handle a heavy shedder like a husky?
They help and most owners use them as a daily maintenance tool, but during a full coat blow you will still want a proper undercoat rake for the deep layer.
