| Abstract: |
A mitt grooms and washes a pet such as a dog or cat. The rubber mitt has a built-in reservoir, with discharge ports and massage nibs for efficient pet grooming. Purposeful patterns of densely placed rubber nibs along the longitudinally extending medial area of the palm side engage pet hairs, remove snags and loose hairs, and provide effective massage. The grooming mitt is molded of rubber, and includes a rigid thumb section which provides stability to the mitt, to permit more effective, rapid use and easy discharging of cleaning fluid from the entire surface of the palm side of the mitt.

I claim:
1. A grooming and washing mitt for a pet animal, said mitt comprising:
- a hollow flexible body having a flexible rear side co-extensive with a flexible palm side cleaning surface so that said hollow body is flexible with an open end for insertion of a hand into said body and a separate hollow thumb portion extending therefrom, said thumb being of rigid construction to reduce the tendency of said mitt to collapse and providing stability to the mitt during movement thereof along a fur hide of the pet animal;
- a built-in fluid retaining reservoir for discharging fluid from, said reservoir extending within said mitt from a distal fingertip end to a proximal wrist end adjacent to said open end of said mitt, said reservoir having a plurality of discharge ports openable upon flexing of said mitt;
- said mitt having a predetermined denser pattern of flexible nibs on said palm side to engage pet hairs, to remove loose hairs, and to provide effective massage, said dense pattern of flexible nibs extending axially from said distal fingertip end to said proximal wrist end of said mitt and
- said dense pattern of nibs extending medially along a mid-line of said mitt.
