Pat Your Pet Five Finger Grooming Glove

I've used the Furminator for my two shorthair cats for years, and while it is an EXCELLENT product, it hasn't been the easiest for me to use. Look I know it's stupid simple to use, and my cats love when I brush them with it, but the fur it takes off tends to get statically attracted to the brush and my hand when holding it. If I accidentally touch my face at this point, I end up getting strands of fur on my face that are difficult to get off without a full wash. It is irritating. It also requires something like a damp paper towel to ball the brushed fur onto as I go, lest some stray fur blow away or get eaten by the cat I'm brushing. When the gloves arrived I put on the right glove and introduced I've used the Furminator for my two shorthair cats for years, and while it is an EXCELLENT product, it hasn't been the easiest for me to use.

When the gloves arrived I put on the right glove and introduced it to the cats. It took Quincy a little while to get comfortable with it (he's shy and ran away when he saw it, but he enjoyed a brushing the following day), but Charles loved it immediately. I spent 10 minutes giving him a brushing. Charles just thought it was a love session and enjoyed every second, purring like a well-tuned motor and rubbing his face all over the blue mitt. I got a lot of fur off him and into the glove, where it stayed! Overall the construction on these is sturdy and well made. The velcro/elastic wrist band works well to keep the glove on my hand. And I've used water to rinse off any stray hairs once I've gotten the main mass of fur off the glove. As others have said, it is a lot easier to clean when there's a lot of fur in the glove, so if you are having trouble cleaning it, just brush longer! Your cat will love it and you will absolutely be able to get more loose fur into the grip. I'm not sure if this is as EFFICIENT as the Furminator at removing fur, but it does a good enough job removing topcoat AND undercoat fur. Combine the ease of use and cleanup though, and you have what I think is a better choice for some pet owners. Get 'em! … more

These grooming gloves are just what I needed. They did the job grooming my cats, and they made it possible to groom my cats, who hate to be groomed. It was more like I was petting them. I was able to use the gloves on their whole bodies and got lots of hair.

I have two cats. Earl loves a wire brush and Valdez hates being brushed with anything. I was looking for good solution for brushing Valdez. I decided to try this with Earl first. He loved it and it removed a ton of fur, even more than the wire brush. It also removed most of his dandruff, which is a huge bonus. Then I tried it on Valdez. He didn't hate it! In fact, I think he might have liked it a little and it removed way more of his wiry hair that a brush, in the same amount of time. Now, Valdez is petting himself on it! I'm calling it a win.

These gloves are the real deal! The Velcro wrist band is brilliant. Th gloves are sturdy, the nubs to collect the hair do just that and our dog enjoys the rubdown.

From the moment I put these gloves on my car was terrified of them. Even when I corner her to see how they worked, was less than impressed with how they function. I have a brush that she dosent run from and pulls twice the fur. That said I thought these would be a good alternative but couldn’t have been more wrong. The fur will not pull off after brushing, I’d have to waste more time cleaning them than it to brush her. They are also starting to fall apart along the seems. If you wash them to get all the fur off, they end up stinking. Oh and it’s one size, so if you don’t have 12” hands, they won’t fit! Sorry to say but this experience has left me needing to shop a store vs purchasing From the moment I put these gloves on my car was terrified of them.

Wore out the one glove and didn't know you could buy a pair. Best grooming tool I've ever owned in decades. They come running when they see me get them out.

It fits my husband, son and myself well because of the elastic on the wrist. It works great on some of my cats with short hair but not others or my dog. Works great with my long hair cats. With the short hair cats some have super fine fur while others are more corse. The corse hair cats and my dog, when I "pet" them it does pull the loose fur out but it doesn't stick to the glove. It either clumps on the animal or falls to the ground, which is fine because I vacuum every day (12 cats and a dog is a full-time job if you don't want your home to smell like a kennel). The hair that sticks to the glove isn't real easy to remove because it's more of a static thing that holds it there.

I have arthritis and these gloves made it so easy to give my dogs alot of attention. They hate baths so these kept them cleaner than usual and they really enjoyed the feel of the rubber bristles.

Scotty the cat HATED it. As soon as he saw me put it on he ran. So I didn't put it on but used 2 fingers of the glove and slowly ran it down his back. He LOVED it. Bottom line is the idea is purrfect but what's needed is a small handheld version for small dogs and cats

I’m a smallish woman and it’s very big on my hand but it works pretty well. It does real well if you rub it around on furniture or material, it picks the hair right up or rolls it into a ball.
