As a kid growing up bathing and grooming horses and dogs, I always wondered why we kept buying the same old curry combs that are hard to hold onto and only marginally work on large flat areas of our animals, bathing mitts that fit no one and never stayed on your hand especially when soapy and wet, along with shedding blades and metal bristle brushes that literally rip hair out including the non-dead hair. My idea was to provide a superior product to replace all of those antiquated grooming tools and devices which performed marginally during grooming, bathing and shedding; products that we had all been stuck with for far too long!
As an adult, I owned a production company that produced movies, TV commercials and documentaries. I got fed up with Hollywood and just wanted to get back to animals and animal people. So I focused on the joining the pet industry and set out to finally make these gloves and change the world of grooming… Four-and-a-half years later, I realized why these gloves had never been on the market, they were really hard to make right. But we did it and I can’t tell you how great it feels to hear people on a daily basis say “Why didn’t I think of that?”, “Where have these gloves been all my life?”
I like to respond to the “Why didn’t I think of that” with I saved you a lot of money. Four and half years of development gets costly. This is the first company I have owned that invents and manufactures products. I have financed all and have been lucky to have had great success out of the gates which has allowed me to bootstrap the growth of HandsOn.
HandsOn Gloves will officially be two years old in February of 2018. We have won awards that range from Best Grooming Product at SuperZoo to Pet Business industry recognition award. We work from home and travel all across the country to Equine and Pet Expos where we sell our gloves and meet new retailers and distributors.
Because of our success, we already have several cheap knockoffs that have hit the market. You know this happens all the time but to experience it for yourself is surreal. I made a video with one of the knockoff gloves that are so sharp it literally shreds an apple. These are not animal people making these cheap knockoffs. They are just in it for a quick buck.
Because of these knockoffs we are racing as fast as we can to be first to market across the board. A few of our latest retails; ACE Hardware and Hollywood Feed just picked us up and we are the top-rated pet product on QVC with only two airings. QVC UK just picked us up on this news as well. I will be back on QVC first part of 2018 and will be traveling to QVC UK for those airings as well. I will be logging the miles.
HandsOn Gloves are carefully designed with hypo-allergenic, bio-friendly components which are clinically proven to be safe for use with humans and animals. These same components are medically approved for manufacturing surgical gloves and tools used for human and animal procedures.
With a flexible, fitted glove on each hand, you get a more thorough, efficient and humane bathing/grooming/shedding experience while naturally bonding with your animal. You will throw all of your old, antiquated tools away!
Having the first ever scrubbing nodules on the palms AND fingers provides a far better deep, thorough clean, from head to toe finally and are the best de-shedders on the market. Also, hair does not stick to the HandsOn Gloves like other grooming aids; just a simple flick of the wrist and the hair instantly releases so you can go right back to caring for your animal.
The textured surface and flexibility of our gloves allow you to better massage and improve circulation while distributing natural oils and promoting a healthier skin and coat.
Legs, faces, ears and tight body contours are no problem for HandsOn Gloves! Our design is superior for delicate grooming as well; like ligament and tendon groves on canons and hocks that until now have always been the hardest to clean.
With the close tactile touch of your hands, examining your animals for cuts, scrapes, welts or bruises is a much easier and more thorough process than using a clunky curry comb, brush or any object between you and your animal; all while providing an unprecedented connection between you and your pets.
The flexibility of the gloves also allows you to handle lead ropes, leashes, shampoo bottles, or anything else you need while grooming or bathing without removing your gloves. Try that with the traditional mitt or curry comb. Plus, your hands and fingernails stay clean!
The Gross Factor
Does your dog, horse or show cow ever show up with manure stains or worse all over them? Does your cat even know what they just rolled in? Ours do and they love it! Having your gloves on while cleaning up these fun times is more bearable for the human and leaves you and your animals much cleaner.
The Animal Factor
Dogs and cats have sensitive skin, horses can be even more sensitive. They can all feel gnats and flies land on them, so what do you think shedding blades, hacksaw blades, wire bristle brushes and all other antiquated grooming devices we have been using for far too long feel like? Run one of those down your arm, leg or scalp. These devices literally rip the hair out and you can see how uncomfortable the animals are in their demeanor. Their heads are up, their bodies are tense, they just want to get away but they put up with it because they are so devoted to us.
The HandsOn® Gloves will not rip hair out. Finally having your fingers in the action allows you to reach all the way through their coat or coats, down to the skin and massage the dead hair, dander and grime out all over your animal’s body, not just in the big, flat areas the other devices are only effective in. Immediately you will see your animals gravitate to the gloves, wanting more. Their heads drop, they lick their lips and their entire bodies relax and are open to this petting, massage session.
The Human Factor
From wounded Vets all the way to people with arthritis, MS, Autism and many other disabilities the gloves are giving back the ability to groom their animals again and for some the first ever opportunity to groom in their lives. Not having to maintain a grip on a grooming device allows these people to do what they love and take care of the animals in their lives in a way that has been impossible to date.
The bond we get from our animals when they are happy and want more loving is immeasurable for all of us. Our HandsOn® team is a community who believe that family and animals come first.
We are animal people committed to developing superior products to share with others who ride, train, ranch, work outdoors, compete at all levels and simply love spending time with their pets.
HandsOn® Gloves are a revolutionary concept that reaches far beyond the traditional curry combs, mitts, scrubbers and shedders on the market today. See for yourself why the All-In-One Shedding/Bathing/Grooming Gloves are the rave and are outperforming all other products across the board.
