Toothbrushes & Fingerbrushes

I transitioned from using silicone finger brushes to this, and it gets their teeth a lot cleaner in a lot less time, especially in the back. You just kind of have to shove it back on their molars and do a few quick brushes, and this design helps you get all the angles in the time that they'll sit still for you to brush their teeth. I would recommend this only for large breeds, (I have a 2-year-old husky) and if you're a first timer it may be easier to start out with a finger brushes. I tried a baby human toothbrush briefly before I got a dog one, and he was not having it, but once he was used to being brushed (and since he loves chicken-flavored toothpaste) it was a lot easier to get him to let me brush his teeth with this thing. Also, if you are worried about keeping this clean, it is dishwasher safe, but also easy to get clean by just washing it in the sink (the brush apparatus is flexible, not stiff like I thought it would be, and I was initially worried toothpaste would build up on it). It would fit in most human travel toothbrush holders/covers to store it. I have only had mine for a few days so I can't comment on how it wears over time, but I do think the design is genius and because it's so much easier than what I've been doing, I feel more motivated to brush every day and hopefully prevent his old dog breath from being too bad for the future!

I was introduced to this toothbrush at my dentist's office many years ago when the company marketed them to humans. I don't know why they quit selling to humans—probably not enough sales. I was so happy to find that they still make them for dogs. I have never used the toothbrush on a dog. My husband and I use this toothbrush, and our hygienist (at a new office) has commented on how good our teeth look. I highly recommend this toothbrush for humans and I assume it works equally as well on dogs teeth.

This has worked really well. I like how it cleans almost all tooth surfaces with minimum turning. I had a different toothbrush, one with a single head shaped like a V and multiple bristles coming out. The head was hard plastic. One dog bit it and broke it the first time. So far, have had great luck with this. The three heads are separate and on individual frames. They seem to move well over the teeth. And any pressure from the dog biting down they move out of the way.

I can see the advantage of this toothbrush, for getting all sides at once and brushing more quickly, but I don't recommend it for just starting out. It's a bit difficult to get it placed over all of the teeth: the brush bristles are smooshed together, so the brush head has to expand a little to cover them, meaning you have to push it down over the teeth; also, the brush head is super big and bulky, due to having three sides in one. So, it's really hard to use in the "getting used to it" phase. I switched to a finger tip toothbrush and hope to progress to this one after my dog is more used to brushing in general. I'll update this review if I get to the point where we can use this brush, if I find that it's worth more stars then. :)

This tooth brush is ingenious! It allows you to brush the outside, inside, and tops of teeth all at the same time. The bristles are on connected stems so they can flex apart for bigger teeth and press back inward for smaller teeth. In the past we've always used chewies to keep our dog's teeth clean and it's worked well but recently my female's chewing muscles had atrophied and she was no longer able to keep her teeth clean herself. She HATES having her teeth brushed so it's a battle but this brush allows me to get in and out so quickly and easily that I think she's getting used to it. A few strokes in each quadrant and you're done!

I have both a Siberian Husky and a Golden Retriever and this brush is the perfect size for their teeth! Teeth brushing isn't their favorite thing in the world, however they do tolerate it. I've found that this brush lasts quite a whole before the bristles start to show wear. I also like the fact that it has real bristles, all the brushes sold at my local per stores have plastic bristles and I'm a little skeptical about how well they work. The handle to this brush is also a large, grippable surface which makes the process a little easier as well! I completely recommend this product for fresh breath and pearly whites in your best friend!

I loved this toothbrush at first! It really worked well getting the inside and outside of our dogs back teeth, and was easy to use. Unfortunately, it only lasted maybe 3 or 4 brushes. Occasionally our dog will bite down on the brush and this one just snapped. We have other toothbrushes that have lasted months, so this was super disappointing. Again, it’s a great concept, it’s just not durable at all.

This three sided dog toothbrush has worked amazing for my husky. This is my second purchase. You have to get a little creative to brush the canines, but it does the job.
