It’s that time of year, when your furry pal may be leaving little tufts of themselves all around the house. Some dogs shed more than others, but regular brushings and baths are important parts of every dog’s grooming routine and overall health. Regular visits to a groomer are great (we’ve got some tips on finding one), but in reality, it’s not always feasible, affordable, or necessary. Dog grooming gloves are one of many tools that effectively address shedding—and come in handy when you can’t get to the professionals.

Since grooming gloves are designed to essentially “pet” the hair away, they may be a good fit for pets that feel anxious about grooming and may work well for dogs who aren’t fond of traditional brushes. Many grooming gloves are also machine-washable, making them easy to clean and reuse.

The Best Dog Grooming Gloves

Think you’ve seen one pair of grooming gloves, so you’ve seen them all? Not so fast. There are quite a few different styles and materials to fit different hands and needs; check out our picks for the best dog grooming gloves.

HandsOn All-In-One Bathing and Grooming Gloves

Use these heavy-duty grooming gloves wet for bathtime scrubs or dry to de-shed your furry friend. Available in five different hand sizes, this pair’s bristles are stainless steel with rubber nodules, so each grooming session feels like a massage for your dog.

PetFusion Multipurpose Pet Grooming Glove

This pair is especially great for loosening dead hairs on your dog in the bath and protects up to the elbow. With little nubs on the palms and fingers, these recyclable synthetic leather, spandex, and silicone dog grooming gloves are durable and water-resistant. They’ll also stand up to teeth and claws, effective for dogs and other types of pets.

Find on Amazon

Pat Your Pet Five Finger Grooming Glove

Buy this grooming glove as a single or a pair. It works two ways: one side has the rubber bristles for brushing out loose hair from your doggo’s fur, and the other side works like a lint brush, gently removing hair from furniture and clothing.

Delomo Pet Glove

These elastic one-size-fits-all dog grooming gloves may not fit all hands well. But they certainly do their job well, gently and effectively removing dead and loose hair with their silicone tips. Simply peel the hair off the gloves in a mat, just like lint from the dryer trap, when you’re done.

Find on Amazon

Petmate FurBuster Dog Grooming Mitt

Crafted in a mitt style, with inner straps to adjust for different hand sizes and a wrist strap to secure it, this design may be easier for some pet parents to use, rather than fingered glove styles. The rubber bristles on this mitt are effective on either dry or wet fur, while the flat side collects loose hair, wherever you might find it.

Dakpets Furblaster Mitt

Another mitt-style dog grooming glove, this rubber and mesh brusher is not as heavy-duty as some of the other options on our list, but is best for regular, light brushings that can also be used during bathtime or on dry fur.

Shop on Chewy

Dog grooming gloves are just one helpful tool for home dog grooming. Read on for more tips, tricks, and tools to keep your dog looking their best below.
