Petsmile Professional Pet Toothpaste Applicator Swabs - Cat & Dog Toothbrush Alternative - Dental Care for Small & Large Pets - Cat & Dog Teeth Cleaning - Dog Toothpaste Not Included (50 Swabs)

good for small dogs with tiny jaws and teeth

My Baby hates having her teeth brushed. I bought a 360 degree bristles brush supposedly for cats, but it's the size of my index finger - not at all appropriate for a small mouthed animal. It made it impossible to get to her back teeth and under her lips. Plus, I do not like restraining her as it can lead to distrust. These swabs are the perfect answer to our dental care dilemma. They are small enough to ease under her lips, apply the toothpaste to her back teeth, and clean her canines. She also wasn't scared of them when I showed them to her. I use the Pet Smile Rotisserie Chicken toothpaste with the swabs. One more thing: the swab can be gently cleaned in warm water for use the next night. They are not a single use and dispose item! My sister in law has been a vet tech for more than 20 years and she performs dentistries on cats and dogs. She told me when I adopted my Baby that the best thing I can do for her (and my wallet) is brush her teeth regularly and use VOHC endorsed products, like Pet Smile.

This toothpaste for dogs is a bit on the expensive side hence the 4 for a rating. I have seen improvement in my 2 Shelties teeth. I brush both of their teeth every night. It does seem to be helping in removing plaque and tarter. I will continue to use and monitor their progress. I wish it was a little more affordable or that coupons were offered for return customers. It works better than other toothpaste I have tried.

I really don't know if it's working.

I have 2 TINY 13y/o chihuahua mixes. Semi-toothless. I’ve tried so many toothbrushes, even the electric ones and the dogs would not let me brush their teeth. Found these and while they may not work as well as a brush, the dogs let me use these on their teeth and gums. They even chew on it a bit - of course while I’m holding it. Recently went on a a prescription diet for kidney disease. I can’t find dental chews safe for SMALL dogs with kidney disease and since their food is now a mix of can and kibble, it’s even more important to practice good oral hygiene. These have been working great !

Very good for getting dog toothpaste in hard to reach areas

I’ve been looking for a way to introduce toothpaste to my cat’s small mouth. This is the first thing that works. They’re pricey but less than a vet dental bill.

easy to use. good buy
