DELOMO Pet Grooming Gloves Cat Brushes – Blue

The fur was literally flying everywhere as I used these massage gloves. German Shepherds are notorious for shedding. Try having a white one. I took her outside and started the massage. She didn’t groan in ecstasy, but she stood quietly while I used the gloves on her. She didn’t try to run away. What I liked was that, unlike the brush, which I’m only comfortable using one directional, I was able to massage in all directions, loosening both the top coat and the undercoat. The fur was coming off like nobody’s business. It was everywhere (I had to wash my clothes afterwards because I was covered in it – so were my shoes). After a thorough massage, I got out the brush and gave her a brushing to remove any more loose hair. I had trouble peeling the hair off the gloves, and I guess they’ll get thrown in the wash, too (on hand wash cycle). The area of the patio where I massaged her was covered with hair. Much more than when I brush her. My husband brought out the shop vac and vacuumed it up. I hope it will cut down on the amount of fur in the house, but time will tell. In the meantime, I’m glad we have a Roomba. I think it’s going to take massaging, brushing and using the Roomba pretty much every day to keep us from being smothered in white fur.

10/28/22 Update: The gloves are still working great. I’ve tried several other deshedding implements, and these are the gentlest and work the best. Our dog may have sensitive skin, because other deshedding “brushes” seemed to bother her, while she enjoys the massaging. Believe me, fur flies everywhere! We have to vacuum the patio afterwards. I give her a quick brush with a regular dog brush afterwards to get all the loose fur still clinging to her. The gloves really loosen up the undercoat without hurting her. I usually have to clean each glove (they get completely matted with fur) at least once before I’m finished and again when I finish. I use a regular dog brush to clean the gloves, and no, it doesn’t get all of the fur off of them, but most of it. I haven’t tried washing them yet.

Update 12/3/22: I’m changing to 5 stars. No brush works as well as these gloves for removing fur from our “fur factory” German Shepherd. I occasionally wash the gloves on a hand wash cycle and air dry them. We need to groom her daily, but if we do, it cuts down on the fur in the house enormously. I feel more comfortable using the gloves because white shepherds have sensitive skin, and I know the rubber nubs on the gloves are gentle. My husband and I still end up covered in white fur after grooming her, as does the patio, but that’s the price we pay for our gentle white giant.

I ordered a pair of these upon my son’s recommendation when I adopted my 4 year old Doberman. These grooming gloves have been nothing short of great. I put one on each hand and “brush,” him which is more like a massage, from head to toe, back to belly, ears and tail. The hair comes off easily and does not fly around getting all over me and everywhere but stays in the little nubby teeth on the glove. When the glove is removed, I use a wooden skewer to get the hair off in order that I can put it out for the birds. This is no trouble at all but I could just as easily wash my hands with the gloves on to get the hair out of them. The little nubby teeth are rubber and very soft but effective. My dog stands as if hypnotized quietly enjoying the massage of the moment; little does he know that he is actually being groomed! The gloves are right and left hand specific; they go on and come off easily with velcro fasteners on the back of the hand. They are sturdy, well made, malleable and easily stored. As an added bonus, they come in a variety of colors as well. As long as I have a dog, I will have a pair of these gloves.

Muy cómodo, a mis mascotas les gusta mucho.

Amazing to see the amount of cat hair they picked up the first time using them. I have two cats that are short haired so really shocked me at how well the gloves worked. PLUS my cats now try to be first to get their grooming. It gently massages them and they are relaxed and enjoy the time. The hair comes off the gloves very easily too. Great product!

I have a Russian blue cat named Purrsephone. She has short hair, but she still sheds. She was not keen on a brush. So, after reading many reviews about how wonderful these are, I pulled the plug and bought them. Cats are like people, and every cat’s personality differs from every other cat. Purrcy hated these gloves. They are very bulky and unwieldy. I am not a large woman, so my hands swam inside the gloves. Even pushing my hands in so far that the webbing between my fingers was squished, I could not “brush” her with these. I managed to get in a few good brush strokes—however, even those produced almost no fur. I had better luck wetting my hand and giving her a good rub. She preferred that!
Maybe the problem was user error or Purrcy did not have long enough hair. Who knows? I returned them.
