About this product
Thickened cowhide gloves that cover the hand and forearm.
Genuine cowhide split leather with a Kevlar-insulated cotton lining and a snap closure. The listing gives the size as Large, sold in a pack of two, in green and black.
Gloves made of thickened cowhide split leather, with a cotton lining that the listing describes as Kevlar insulated.
They cover the hand and forearm. The listing describes the covered area as wider than a normal glove.
The listing names cats, dogs, parrots, squirrels, chinchillas, hamsters, rabbits, hawks, kittens and puppies. No glove guarantees prevention of bites or scratches.
The listing also names heat work: welding, campfires, grilling, and pulling wood or coal out of a stove.
Size on the listing is Large, in a pack of two, colour green and black.
A snap closure holds the cuff in position.
These gloves cover the hand and forearm. The listing describes the covered area as wider than a normal glove.
The leather is thickened cowhide split. Inside there is a cotton lining that the listing describes as Kevlar insulated.
The listing names veterinarians, animal control staff, kennel and zoo workers, pet shop employees, bird handlers and reptile handlers as intended users, and lists training and playing with large birds, hawks, kittens and puppies as uses.
The listing also names welding, setting up a campfire, grilling, and taking wood or coal out of a stove as uses. It gives no heat rating, so check the limits of the exact glove before use.
No glove is bite-proof. Leather can still be bitten or punctured. Match the glove to the animal you actually handle, and do not rely on gloves alone to restrain an aggressive animal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these really bite proof?
No glove is bite-proof. The listing names cats, dogs, parrots, squirrels, chinchillas, hamsters and rabbits, and states that no glove guarantees prevention of bites or scratches. Leather can still be bitten or punctured, so match the glove to what you handle.
What are they made of?
Genuine cowhide split leather with a cotton lining the listing describes as Kevlar insulated.
How far up the arm do they go?
They cover the hand and forearm. The listing describes the covered area as wider than a normal glove.
What size are they?
The listing gives the size as Large, sold in a pack of two.
Are they suitable for birds of prey?
The listing names hawks and large birds specifically.
Can I use them for reptiles?
The listing names reptile handlers among the intended users.
Are they heat resistant?
The listing gives no heat rating. It says the lining offers extra heat protection and names welding, campfires, grilling and removing hot wood or coal from a stove. Check the limits of the exact glove before use.
Can I use them for welding?
The listing names welding as a use. For sustained welding, purpose-made welding gloves and the welding sleeves on this site give better arm coverage.
Will they keep out water?
No. These are leather. For wet and chemical work, the work gloves on this site are the PVC-coated option.
Are they cut resistant?
The listing does not publish a cut resistance rating, so do not choose them for cut work.
Can I wash them?
Do not machine wash them. Brush off dirt and let them dry naturally away from direct heat.
Will they stiffen after they get wet?
Leather can, especially if you dry it fast. Dry them slowly at room temperature and work them with your hands afterwards.
Do they come as one pair or two?
The listing states a pack of two.
What colour are they?
Green and black, per the listing.
Are they unisex?
The listing gives the department as unisex adult.
Can I still feel what I am doing in them?
They are thickened leather, so fine dexterity is limited.
Do they have a wrist strap?
They use a snap closure to hold the cuff in place.
Are they good for gardening or thorny work?
The listing does not name gardening or thorny work, so we make no claim for it.
Can two people share a pair?
They can, though leather moulds to the wearer over time. Clean them between users.
How long will they last?
That depends entirely on how hard you work them. Retire them when the leather splits or the lining comes through.
Do they protect against snake bites?
The listing makes no such claim, and we will not make one. Snake handling needs equipment specified for that job.
Are they suitable for a vet clinic?
The listing names veterinarians among the intended users.
Is there a warranty?
No separate warranty is sold; the Consumer Rights Act 2015 applies in full; faulty items are put right.
Can I buy a case for a shelter or clinic?
Yes. Use the wholesale quote form and tell us how many you need.
Is tax added at checkout?
No additional sales tax is added at checkout. Prices are in pounds sterling.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is free anywhere in the United Kingdom on orders of £100 or more. Under £100 it is a flat £25. Express delivery is £25 on any order, whatever the total.
How long will my order take?
Orders are dispatched within 2 working days and then delivered in up to 7 working days by tracked courier. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the parcel ships.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
For most online purchases, tell us within 14 days after delivery if you want to cancel, then return the goods within a further 14 days. You pay the return postage on a change-of-mind return. If the item is faulty, not as described, or does not do what it is meant to do, we cover the return and your rights under UK consumer law are not affected.
What if it arrives damaged?
Tell us straight away and send your order number. We cover the return postage on a damaged or lost delivery and process the refund within 24 to 48 hours of getting the item back.
How do I decide whether this product is suitable for my workplace?
