Dog Grooming Glove

Description

A dog grooming glove for dogs who hate brushes

Some dogs will not sit for a brush but will happily be stroked all day. A dog grooming glove takes advantage of that — you groom with your hand, and to your dog it just feels like attention.

Why it suits short coats

Short single coats do not need pins digging in. The soft rubber tips on this glove lift loose hair and dander from the surface without scratching, which is why it works on Staffies, Beagles, Boxers and puppies who are still learning to be handled.

What you get

• Soft rubber tips that lift hair without scratching
• Adjustable wrist strap so it stays on
• Hair peels off in one sheet — no picking at bristles
• Doubles as an upholstery tool for hair on the sofa

How to use it

Stroke in the direction the coat grows, with a little pressure. Work along the back and sides first, then the legs. Peel the collected hair off the palm and carry on. Five minutes is plenty.

When to use a brush instead

On a thick double coat the glove will only take surface hair. For a Husky or a Retriever in moult you want a deshedding brush that reaches the undercoat — the glove is the finishing tool, not the main one.

⚠ Go gently the first few times.
Most dogs need a couple of short sessions to accept a new grooming tool. Keep it brief, reward often, and stop before your dog gets fed up — a calm two minutes beats a stressful ten.
