"This thing RULES. The plush side is great for soaping him up, and the scrubby side does a great job getting him nice & sudsy. Really a great tool for bath time, made it so much faster & easier. Love it!"

"Just like other mitts I ordered - way too big. It's like it was made for a huge gorilla with fat huge hands and short fingers. So you can't get a good grip on your dog while trying to stroke hair off. Hair doesn't stick well to it anyway."
