RAPICCA Animal Handling Gloves, Bite Proof Double Leather, 16 in Grey-Black | For Dog, Cat, Bird, Falconry, Snake & Reptile Handling; Vets, Groomers & Animal Control Teams

I originally bought a pair in 2019 and am buying a second pair now in 2025, due to my husband unfortunately losing the first pair (Its probably around here somewhere). We absolutely love these gloves for yard work. We live in an area in the PNW that has a green belt behind our house that isnt maintained, so we get all of the weeds invading our yard. Especially sticker bushes or blackberry bushes with thick vines, some thicker than a quarter. These gloves are excellent at protecting our hands from getting those nasty thorns in our hands when we're physically yanking these blackberry bushes and other thorny bushes out of the ground. I have large hands for a female and these gloves are a little big on me, but not unusable. I usually wear a mens Large in gloves. I can grip things well with these gloves and they are flexible in the hands enough to get the job done. We have yet to have any punctures from those thick thorns or thorny bushes, hence me ordering a 2nd pair 6 years later. I need them for some yard work right now and my pair from 6 years ago is MIA. They work great and I'd recommend these to anyone who is using them for yard work, totally worth the money and they last - good quality gloves.

Amazing quality, very sturdy. My puppy is teething and he's always biting my hands. Those gloves are amazing! With those gloves, I'm teaching him not to bite but in a right way preventing me and him for being not stressed out. Very happy customer. Thank you very much for those incredible gloves.

Got an unruly cat who likes to bite and scratch? These gloves are the perfect defense. My cat is a real pain, literally, when it comes to meds, grooming, ear cleaning, or getting her out of someplace she doesn't need to be. She's a real fighter. But, she's met her match in these gloves. No matter how much she snarls, scratches, or bites, she can't get to me when I'm wearing these gloves. I purchased the 22 inch gloves which protect up past my elbows. Those extra inches come in handy. She can't get me, no matter how hard she tries. Made of thick leather and Kevlar, these gloves are surprisingly easy to wear. I have as much dexterity as with my yard work gloves, even though the leather is thicker. While these gloves are sold as Animal Handling Gloves, you could also use them with large birds, or reptiles, anything that you don't want to bite, scratch, or puncture your skin. You can also use these gloves in gardening chores dealing with plants with spines or thorns. Some of my plants have thorns that are over two inches long. These gloves will surely come in handy when I'm working on those plants. Veterinarians, Groomers, gardeners and cat owners will find these gloves useful in protecting your arms and hands. I've already had the chance to use them with my cat. She bites hard, not this time though. You will feel the pressure, but not the bite. Sorry kitty. Reasonable cost, excellent results, does what they say the gloves will do, protect your arms and hands. Maybe sometimes a bite will occur, but so far great results. No more fear of her bites or, scratching.

Worked great for a biting dog. Allowed the owners to work with him and not worry about getting bitten.

I bought these 16” animal handling gloves to use in my home dog boarding / daycare business. Thankfully I haven’t had to use them yet, but I like having them ‘just in case’. I think luck favors the prepared. I ordered a few different animal handling gloves and settled on these. I like the thickness of the leather and the placement of the extra layers of leather. For a female 5’5” and 125 lbs, these fit quite big. However they are comfortable and stay on. I feel protected in them. Some other ones I ordered that were smaller for my hands didn’t have as thick of leather or the extra layers of leather at as many places or good places. I would never be able to do fine work with my fingers in these as they are bulky. However I would be able to grab or pick up a small dog or guarded object with them. I think they would protect from a bite from a small dog, medium dog, and warning nips from a large dog. However the bite force of a medium or large dog that means business would still crush your hands, just maybe not be able to rip you open due to the thick leather. I would guarantee that they would hold up to small animals like cats, hamsters, squirrels, birds, etc. Hopefully I NEVER need to test a snake bite on them!!! They appear well made with the stitching with thick but slightly flexible leather. The value is good as I believe they will last many many years used for various tasks like animal handling, grilling, and forging … probably my son will eventually steal them to forge with once he discovers them.

Bought so my husband could rough house (play bite) with our Beagle. Fits well & Works AWESOME!

Outstanding quality and a must have! I can't say enough good things about them. I was getting bit and having these gives me peace of mind with my "forced, 4 dog pack!" Worth every cent for peace of mind and more! Buy them today! :)

These gloves are very thick and definitely helped prevent a much more serious injury. I have an aggressive dachshund and he attacked my hands and arm today. The gloves did their job and likely saved me from a hospital visit. He was able to slightly break the skin on my arm through the glove, but nothing compared to previous bites without them. I would recommend these for anyone dealing with aggressive dogs, but just know that no glove is completely bite proof against a determined dog. Overall I’m very glad I purchased them and feel much safer handling my dog with these on.

Sitter Bra, ej behövt testa hur mycket bett dom står emot

Très bon gants de qualité mais taille petit !

Ottimo prodotto

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

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.
