Long Sleeve Thick Leather Animal Handling Glove Anti Scratch Protective Gloves for Training Dog Cat Bird Snake Parrot Lizard Wild Animals Reptiles,Bite Resistant Gloves(Large,23.6in)

My cat is very gentle, but gets tried of his kick toys quickly (the ones they kick with their back legs). I wanted to give these a try for more interactive play unlike his other toys. He knows to be gentle with me and others, but once I take these out, he can kick his back legs to his hearts content. When they first got here, I put them out for him to get used to and added a bit of catnip. Now that he is comfortable with them, he is obsessed. He just drags it over when he wants to play. This hasn’t encouraged bad behavior (he knows any form poor behavior is not tolerated), it just gave him a nice safe outlet for crazy play for both me and my cat. Highly recommend for play oddly enough. Very durable and not a tooth or nail will get through.

Thick but comfortable, will protect against bites and claws.

Got these to handle my semi-feral rescue dog and they've definitely saved me a few painful bites. Great product.

These are perfect for handling wildlife. They are strong and bite resistant. The only thing I would mention is that they are very thick so you wont necessarily have fine motor movements so not recommended to handle fragile animals or injured smaller species where you need to adjust your grip and handle gently.

We used these to catch some feral cats. We could get a good grip on the cats. The gloves are scratch proof and bites didn't puncture through. Definitely recommend these.

Excellent gloves. Easy to recommend

On 9/25/24, I purchased the light gray version of these gloves for $28.99.I live in an area with a very cold winter climate. Because of this, there are a number of months where it is difficult to be outside for long periods in order to properly exercise my 60-pound male Siberian Husky. One of the ways that I tried to overcome this problem was to use these gloves (indoors) and “play wrestle” with my Husky. I would push him away and/or grab onto his paws while he "fought back" trying to capture a hand or arm with his teeth. This first pair of gloves worked very well for this, and my Husky always looked forward to this playtime based on his excited reaction whenever he heard me mention the word, "Wrestle". However, one of the seams on the glove eventually gave way and I ordered a second set of these gloves for use in the "Wrestling" game with my Husky. My first pair were the "Light Green" gloves, so I decided (for my second pair) to order the "Dark Green" just to be able to easily distinguish the 2-pairs of gloves apart. What I didn't notice regarding the "Dark Green" was the fine print just above the glove selections pictures that stated:“Dark Green Single Leather(23.6in)" If I had notice, I am not certain I would have understood that this meant the gloves would be thinner than my first pair.Once I received the gloves, I quickly realized that the "Single Leather" designation translates to the fact that these 23.6” gloves (in the area of the hands) are thinner than the first pair I ordered which are described as:"Light Green +Black Padding 23.6in"This “black padding” really thickens the gloves and protects my hands much more than the "Single Leather" pair when "wrestling" with my Husky.I did not realize that this second pair of gloves were "dangerously thin" compared to the first pair I had ordered until I used them "play wrestling" with my Husky. So, now I cannot return them. The small "fine" print above the pictures for the glove type selection is the ONLY PLACE that it is mentioned that these gloves are "Single Leather" (instead of having the "Black Padding"). Comparing the two glove models, the "Title Text" description and the "About this item" description for both pairs of gloves are exactly the same, with no mention of one pair of gloves having the extra padding while the other does not.The reason I am spending my time writing this review is to alert customers who are considering buying a pair of these gloves to the fact that the "Dark Green" pair of the 23.6" gloves are significantly thinner than the "Light Green" pair of the 23.6" gloves. Just be aware of this fact (only mentioned in the “fine” print) before deciding on the correct pair to buy.

I will use these for handling wildlife, and because that isn't my full-time job, I wanted to keep costs as love as possible for a decent pair of thick leather gloves. I am a woman with fairly small hands, 5' 6" tall and 150 lbs. (to give a sense of the size of my arms--they're pretty average, I'd say), and I'm happy to report that these gloves fit me well! I was worried they'd be too big. They reach right up almost to my armpits, which is great for my uses. They are not SO big around that they'll fall off, even if grabbed by talons, etc. Mostly, I am really glad they are real leather, thick but pliable, and I feel like I have pretty good dexterity while wearing them (within reason, of course). For example, I could confidently open a crate door or hold a raptor's legs with my gloved hand, but not use my cell phone (duh). I only took off a star because of the strong odor when I opened the bag they were packaged in; it smelled like maybe some chemical used in the tanning process--? Not sure, but I aired them out in my yard for a couple of days because I didn't want the fumes to kill any poor critter I was trying to help! I would recommend these gloves, especially for smaller people who are worried about swimming in way-too-large gloves.
