Abstract: The invention relates to a mitt and to a grooming kit for the coat of an animal. The mitt comprises at least one cleaning surface consisting of microfibres and a second cleaning surface with a brush-type covering. The microfibre side can absorb relatively large amounts of moisture by capillary action, said moisture being in turn easily transferred to the coat of an animal that is to be groomed, if the coat is treated using the microfibre side. The brush-type covering, consisting of individual bundles of bristles, is used to transfer the moisture to the interior of the coat and to simultaneously remove foreign bodies from said coat. The interior of the mitt is provided with a loop, into which individual fingers or optionally the whole hand can be inserted. The loop permits a good grip and ensures that the hand cannot slip inside the mitt.
