Leather Animal Handling Gloves 60cm Long Cuff Tight Strips Anti Bite Gloves Scratch Resistant Thickened Gloves for Feeding Grooming Training Cat Dog

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these gloves actually bite-proof for dogs and cats?

These gloves offer strong bite and scratch resistance thanks to their double-layer leather construction with reinforced stitching. The full-palm padding and thickened finger padding provide increased protection during handling. However, they're not completely bite-proof – they're designed to significantly reduce injury risk from pets like cats, dogs, birds, and reptiles. The 60cm length gives extra arm coverage, which is crucial for protecting against bites from larger or more aggressive animals.

How long will it take to get these animal handling gloves delivered in Australia?

Yarra Supply offers Australia-wide free shipping on this product. Standard delivery typically takes 5-10 business days to most Australian addresses. If you need them urgently, contact Yarra Supply directly at checkout to discuss faster shipping options. All gloves are dispatched quickly from our Australian warehouse to ensure you get your protective gear as soon as possible.

What's the actual size, and will they fit my hands?

The gloves are sized at L60 x W20 x D3 cm, with the 60cm length referring to how far up your arm they extend. The "L" designation indicates a standard large size that suits most adult hands. The cuff straps are adjustable, so you can tighten them to fit your wrist and arm securely. If you're concerned about fit, measure your hand length and compare it to the 20cm width specification – that's your palm coverage.

Can I return these if they don't work for my needs?

Yes, Yarra Supply offers a 30-day returns policy on all products, including these animal handling gloves. If they don't meet your expectations for your specific task – whether that's grooming, training, or handling reptiles – you can return them within 30 days for a refund or exchange. Make sure to keep your receipt and return the gloves in their original condition for a hassle-free return.

Are these gloves suitable for Australian native animals and reptiles?

Absolutely. These gloves are specifically designed for handling reptiles, birds, and a wide variety of animals. Australian handlers often use similar protective gear for managing snakes, lizards, and other native wildlife. The double-layer leather, reinforced stitching, and extended 60cm cuff provide excellent protection against bites and scratches from Australian native species. They're also thermal-lined, which is helpful during cooler months across Tasmania and southern Australia.

What makes these better than cheaper animal handling gloves?

The key difference is in the construction and protection level. These gloves feature double-layer leather with reinforced stitching throughout – not single-layer material. The 60cm length is longer than standard work gloves, offering significantly more arm coverage. Full-palm padding combined with extra finger padding provides distributed protection rather than basic leather. The adjustable cuff straps prevent accidental slipping during handling, which is critical for safety. At AUD $27.99, they're competitively priced for the quality and protection you're getting – especially if you're handling multiple animals regularly or working with larger, more aggressive pets.

Will these gloves keep my hands warm as well as protected?

Yes, these gloves feature a cosy and comfortable thermal lining that keeps your hands warm while you work. This makes them ideal for Australian winter conditions, particularly in Victoria, Tasmania, and the cooler regions. You'll maintain good dexterity and hand warmth even during extended periods of animal handling, grooming, or outdoor work in chilly conditions. The leather also naturally insulates, so you get both warmth and protection in one pair.
