| 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,
- a built-in bendable, unencumbered fluid retaining reservoir for discharging fluid extending continuously within said body from a top of a distal fingertip end to a bottom of a proximal wrist end adjacent to said open end of said body, and transversely from one side to an opposite side of said mitt including extending into said thumb portion, and means comprising discharge ports for discharging fluid from said reservoir upon flexing of said mitt to form a concave configuration of said palm side pressurizing said reservoir causing said discharge ports to open;
- said mitt having means on said palm side of said mitt for removing loose hairs on said pet comprising a predetermined denser pattern of flexible, solid nibs, said nibs also providing an effective massage, said denser pattern of nibs extending along a central median from said distal fingertip of said mitt to sad proximal wrist end of said mitt.
