Riley & Rex - Pet Grooming Glove

TL;DR: The Riley & Rex Pet Grooming Glove is a hand-worn deshedding brush with soft rubber tips that lifts loose fur while you pet your dog or cat. It's a low-stress option for medium and long-haired pets that resist traditional brushes, available in Green or Purple.

Grooming doesn't have to feel like a wrestling match. This glove slips onto your hand so brushing feels like petting, which makes it easier to work through the coat of anxious or squirmy pets.

What does the grooming glove do?

The soft rubber tips on the palm gently lift loose hair and undercoat as you stroke your pet. Shed fur collects on the glove surface so you can peel it off and discard it — less hair on the couch, less floating through the air.

Compared with rigid deshedding brushes, the glove format lets nervous pets stay relaxed because the motion mimics affectionate petting rather than tool contact.

Key features

Who is it for?

This glove suits dog owners who want a gentler alternative to a standard slicker, and households with pets that dislike traditional grooming tools. It also works well as an introductory tool for puppies being handled for the first time.

It's a practical choice for cat owners too. Among deshedding brushes for cats, a glove often succeeds where a bristle brush fails because it mimics affectionate petting. The soft-tip format is also gentle enough that some owners use similar deshedding brushes for horses, though this glove is sized for dogs and cats.

If your pet has a dense undercoat or mats, pair the glove with a dedicated brush such as the Riley & Rex - Self-Cleaning Pet Slicker Brush or the Riley & Rex - Double Sided Pet Pin & Bristle Brush for deeper work.

How often should you use it?

Once or twice a week is enough for most coats; increase the frequency during spring and fall shedding seasons. Use long, slow strokes in the direction of hair growth, starting at the shoulders and working toward the tail.

Feeding & use

Slip the glove onto your dominant hand and secure the wrist strap. Pet your dog or cat as you normally would, applying light, even pressure — the rubber tips do the work, so there's no need to press hard.

Peel the collected hair off the glove surface when you're finished and rinse the glove clean under warm water. For short-coated pets or smaller sessions, the Riley & Rex - Non-Slip Handle Slicker Brush makes a useful companion tool for building a small kit of complementary deshedding brushes.
