Buying Guide

Removing cat hair before it ever falls off and becomes a job for your cordless pet vacuum or fur broom is a good idea to do regularly. Personally, I find it soothing and fun to brush my cats and it’s surprising how much hair ends up collecting in these gloves!

Single or a pair – There are some choices that only provide a single glove option which is something to consider when you are planning kitty’s grooming routine. This preference will depend on how often, your type of cat and how you want to perform the routine. If a pair necessary, then accommodate to that preference by narrowing down your selection.

Nodule size – All of the choices above have a rubber grip with attached nodules. However, the style of glove will vary in the nodule sizes and the amounts of space in between them. Check each design and compare these specifics to see if they adapt to your pet’s coat type. Having space in between avoids catching knots but not enough space in between is harder to catch more of fluffy’s mane.

Cat’s coat type – Each pet is created equal, but each cat has different coat traits which result in more wildly coats than others. You can narrow down whether or not the glove or a mitt style is superior in this section. Longer hair types might need more of a grip when you gently pet them and are more prone to knots. Shorter hair may be fine with a mitt style by adapting well to smaller rubber nodules.

Glove or mitt – This really is preferential to you as the owner, but do consider how much you flexibility in the material you want or how much control you need in the hand grip. The five finger design can provide more control and be easier to reach difficult areas of your cat. Also, there may be a personal quality that the cat feels with this shape.

However, let’s not rule out the mitt because it could emulate these same qualities as well. Maybe it can even provide a gentler touch in some cases. Lastly, the mitt may fit more hand types without having to order a specific size.

Sensitive skin – There are a few on our list that accommodate to your cat’s needs with a hypoallergenic or medical grade rubber option designed for this. If you are not sure if your cat has sensitive skin, either try a brush with an average rubber material or have them tested with your vet.

Hand size – Consider your hand’s size first before choosing an option since buying the item without reviewing the dimensions can result into a return. If you know you have hands that are bigger than average, check the glove’s dimensions on the universal fit first to see if their standard will tailor to you. Also, check if spandex is blended in the fabric or if the material is flexible. You wouldn’t want it to fit tight or loose if you need more control.

So keep these sizing factors in mind so the glove or mitt can fit securely without falling off during your cat’s grooming.

Multi-purpose – This is an added feature that is beneficial if you desire an all-in-one tool for your grooming gloves. You can clean your furniture and clothes with them and save on lint rollers too. And do not hesitate when it comes to bathing because your nifty gloves are durable enough in wet conditions to save the day.

Tips for Grooming Gloves

How-to process – If you already have a brushing routine in play those same methods can definitely apply to your grooming gloves. However, if you have no clue keep reading for a quick guide.

A few routine steps to follow

• Attain your pet when they are in a calm mood — comfortable and relaxed.
• Next, have them smell the gloves before grooming.
• Sit with your pet or position yourself in a relaxed manner on the couch or chair.
• Get ready to pet fluffy’s mane with a motion in the same direction as their hair pattern.

Additional steps for bathing

• Check that your glove/gloves securely fit you by adjusting the Velcro fastener.
• After wetting the gloves, place the shampoo onto the rubber bristles.
• Rinse your pet in warm water and begin petting them in a circular motion.
• Avoid sensitive areas such as their eyes and continue rinsing them with warm water.

Here are some other tips

Start grooming early – Consider their age, but definitely start training them early as possible in their developmental stages to this routine. This will aid your cat while she transitions to adulthood. Since your cat will already be trained, setting a schedule should be smoother. Grooming reduces stress and anxiety and inconsistency might result in your pet becoming fearful by running away or hissing at you.

Cleaning – Many of the gloves are machine washable. Also, you have the option to hand wash them in a tub with soapy water. You can peel away the hair and particles before you throw them in your washer. Also, we advise not placing the gloves in the dryer. You must air dry your gloves only owners. Due to the rubber bristles, they may melt or become damaged. The gloves are great for cleaning other surfaces with its multi-purpose function. Gather fur from your furniture or clothes in the same fashion you would when wiping away dust with a cloth.

Prevent bites or scratches – If you sense your cat is more sensitive than others and might have trouble adjusting to the gloves with a claw or bite, then wear a long-sleeved shirt underneath. Or, wear another pair of gloves underneath the grooming ones to prevent this risk. Of course, you can also clip your cat’s nails before you do it or use nail caps to disarm her peacefully.
