TIROTECHSBuild Trust & Protect Your Hands - Bite-Proof Animal Handling Gloves for Safe & Loving Pet Care with Dogs and Cats

I assist with animal rescue transport. Usually we handle cats in carriers, but occasionally a dog needs a ride. In most cases the dogs are easy to deal with, and will willingly hop in and out of the car. I was motivated to buy these gloves after an experience with a frightened and overwhelmed husky-shepherd mix. She did not want to get into the car, But once she did and we reached our destination, she was equally reluctant to come out. As I reached for her leash, she indicated her dissatisfaction with a "warning bite" that I had not expected. The bite did not break the skin, but I definitely felt it and declined to touch her again. The next day, I ordered these gloves. They are genuine suede leather, very thick and sturdy, and they cover the entire arm, well past the elbow. In the unlikely event that a dog is scared enough to communicate with its teeth in the future, I will have the protection I need. Who knows? They might even be helpful dealing with an overwrought cat.

I bought this for my tnr group. It is thick enough to protect

I have very small hands with long skinny fingers. I have to get small in regular exam/dish gloves for my fingers to fit and my hands still don't fit. I have an adult male Hognose who is a very defensive little man so I wanted to have a little protection should his bluff striking turn into an actual bite during feeding time. Dexterity is minimal in these especially for me, I can barely hold the feeding tongues and f/t hopper mouse so sometimes I skip the tongs and just grab the hopper with the glove. Some Hognoses tame, others not so much and I have the latter, it's been 2 years of attempting to socialize him and he's just as defensive and goes what I call 'cobra mode' no matter what. At least with these I'm very confident if he actually did bite me. The most he could do is scratch me should he get lucky through these since he's not a big boy and is rear fang 'venomous'. I can easily slip my hand out of the glove if he were to latch and chew. He's confident enough to never resort to playing dead so he doesn't think I'm a fatal threat at least plus he huffs at me on feeding day until I appease him.

I got these for maintaining fires and also playing with my dog. They are great for bothMy dog has a medium pressure bite. You feel the pressure but it's not uncomfortable when he goes hard. He absolutely loves playing with these and so far they stand up to his tugging.For fires, I use these to shuffle bonfire coals and such. I can reach direct into a fire, pick up and hold coals for a moment to shuffle stuff around. The heat builds but it's slow. I'm surprised how resistant they are to heat.Glad I got them.

I have a Chicken named Dove that bites my husband regularly, but never me. I bought these gloves to protect his arms, and he says they work great. We can't comment on heat resistance, but the glove (he only needs one) allows my husband to gather eggs without bloodshed!

The odor is absolutely crazy. It sticks on your hands, even after washing them and the cat is also afraid of them because of the smell and the thickness is too much. It’s too bulky for a small cat.

I bought these gloves because of a feral neighborhood cat that we Trapped Neutered and Released. We needed to take care of the cat after surgery due to a complication and the cat would bite down hard. Although I could feel the pressure of their bite, these gloves protected me from the cat puncturing my skin. They also protected me from the cat's nails! Dexterity is not great, but they were perfect for what I needed.

The construction seems fine. The materials are good. However, the gloves are difficult to use because the fingers are short in comparison to the overall palm size. The palm is too big and the fingers are too short, so it’s hard to do anything that requires even a little dexterity. Sizing is difficult because of this. Also, no instructions were included for cleaning the gloves. They are ok for handling a difficult small dog but I wouldn’t trust them for use with larger animals.
