Abstract
A glove includes at least one resilient pad attached thereto. The pads each include a plurality of pet brush bristles extending outwardly therefrom. In a first embodiment of the pad and bristles, the bristles each have a flattened head at one end thereof. The pad comprises a first layer through which the bristles extend. A second layer is attached to the first resilient layer, such that the flattened head of the bristle is captured between the first resilient layer and the second resilient layer. In a second embodiment of the pad and bristles, the bristles are integrally formed with the pad. In a third embodiment of the pad and bristles, the pad comprises first and second layers as in the first embodiment. A plurality of mushroom-shaped buttons is attached to the second layer. The buttons removably engage with resilient top and inner layers attached to the glove. In a fourth embodiment of the pad and bristles, the bristles are integrally formed with a resilient outer layer. A plurality of mushroom-shaped buttons is attached to the outer layer. The buttons removably engage with the top and inner layers attached to the glove.
