Sweet Paws makes massaging bath gloves for dogs and cats that are made of silicone to protect your hands. They are durable and very easy to sanitize, plus are double sided so they also work for lefties. My dog has been enjoying bathtime a lot more since I've started bathing him with the Sweet Paws gloves. It's a legit massage!
