RAPICCA Animal Handling Gloves, Bite Proof Double Leather, 22in Grey-Black | For Dog, Cat, Bird, Falconry, Snake & Reptile Handling; Vets, Groomers & Animal Control Teams

10/10. Without these gloves I would have no skin on my hands, fingers; or arms. Like literally these gloves are amazing. They are without a shadow of doubt the best thing I ever bought. Once upon a time, I tried trimming my cats nails, she hated it. No matter what conditioning I tried to do, treats, calm, one by one, slow and steady, nothing worked. My arms would bleed, my fingers trapped in her claws. Her bunny kicks would deliver the final blow, and I’d have to give up. My hands and arms would look like a mommy. Then I got these gloves, my parents laughed at me for buying falcon gloves, but I knew, they would save my skin (literally). Now, she still kicks, bites, scratches, hisses, growls and looks at me like I killed 9 generations of her kin. But at least I can trim, 3-4 nails on a bad day, and 8-9 on a good day. All while without getting a single scratch on my arms. And she is one happy kitty after getting treats. They are thick, fit big enough but small enough to not fall off, they are so durable and are great quality. Some people use it for wildlife, I use it for a rescued domestic 4kg white short hair cat who hates her nails trimmed.

First stress free capture of my cats for the vets in 6 years! Thanks so much, not so much as a scratch or bite mark on me. They'll come in super handy for claw clipping too, with a good amount of dexterity still available whilst wearing the gloves.

GreT quality live them

They do the job keeping the fingers safe from bite punctures and scratches. But even if our little Yorkie type dog bites, you still feel the pressure of the bite. I’ve retro fitted hard card tubes into the end of the fingers, which helps disperse the pressure. I don’t think they would be suitable for a much larger dog as it’s the crushing pressure of the bite on the hand and fingers which could cause bad bruising.

Didn’t feel a thing when the cat got tired of the grooming and bit my hand

I had to hold the cat to cut out bits of her fur that became tangled. She will not go to a groomer but it had to be done. Although she tried to claw me her sharp claws did not penetrate at all.

Have used these with handling my dog (chihuahua) in stressful situations such as the vets, as he can lash out. Dog is unable to penetrate the thick material and I remain unharmed

Bought for gardening and tackling thorny roses. Great. Hands and arms are protected

Il mio gatto non è riuscito a stellari vivo, quindi li consiglio vivamente.

Très bon gants de qualité mais taille petit !

Funciona muy bien para proteger las manos y los brazos al manipular perros y gatos.

Essa luva é fantástica! Vi várias aqui no Brasil, mas nenhuma me parecida boa o suficiente. Meu marido e eu somos veterinários e manejamos animais que nos trazem risco. Com essa luva temos muito mais segurança para executar nosso trabalho. Recomendamos com certeza!

Hi, I'm known in my area as the fur baby spoiler. I have one client who has a parrot that her mama calls "EVIL". After my first sitting job with her I had nips on every finger and up my arms. I wasn't happy! I got these and went to go do my job with this parrot. She nips at my fingers and arms the whole time I'm holding her, and I don't feel a thing. She's happy I'm not waving her off and I'm happy I'm not getting a bloodletting while doing my job. Now if they only made these for my ears. This bird is evil. I got the longer pair and they come to the bottom of my t-shirt sleeves, and I have pretty long arms. They are roomy for me. For a smaller person (Under 5' 8") I can see them being way to big. They are soft inside which is nice, I was worried about the seams irritating my skin. I can't speak to the durability of these as mine won't get regular daily use, however they are of good quality, and I can see them holding up for a while. I have clients with reptiles and rodents which these will also come in handy for as I am not fond of handling them, but I don't turn down a client. You do not have a lot of dexterity with them. A bigger person might, as they would be tighter. I'm happy with my gloves, my parrot nemesis is happy I'm not screaming at her, and my arms remained scar free from my last job. Good product in my opinion.
