One of my dogs likes her regular toothbrush and the other wants to fight for the right to chew it. I got this one because I found I could spread toothpaste on her teeth with my finger without biting issues. This product works very well, and I can get all angles of her teeth easily as she wiggles around during the process. Although: she might bite through the material sooner or later and I don’t think these bristles are as effective as a regular toothbrush. I would not use this if the dog was fine using a regular toothbrush.

i am adamant about brushing my dogs teeth. these are very good, however, if you have very large fingers, which i don't, they probably wont fit. i put some water or saliva on my finger to get it on, removing is a bit tough too but they work fine and i would order again.

This tooth brush works as you would think and it's very soft on my dog's gums. However if you have thin or small fingers, it slips off easily, especially when it gets wet. It is a little annoying, but definitely something I can look past and still use.

I like it already I ordered 3 times. I tried all different toothbrushes for my small 15 pound dog but this is best for small teeth and comfortable size with any finger. Y I give 4 stars price high.

These are too large to fit into my Yorkshire Terriers' mouths. They are each about 5 lbs. My finger alone is touch to get in and with the added circumference of this cot, it's almost impossible. They are simple enough to use, they roll on and off your finger easily. The concept is great - you just need a larger dog for these to be effective.

This is so much easier than using toothbrushes, although I like the bristles on the toothbrushes better. Hmmmm - maybe there is a finger brush with bristles instead of little bumps. I have one dog that helps me when I brush her teeth and one that allows it "hesitantly" (she wants her treat :P) Nothing I have tried works perfectly, but having a variety allows me to mix it up a bit.

Pros:
It's pink, it's reusable, you can sterilize after every use, it fits snuggly around finger, comes with two carrying cases, allows you to sterilize in boiling water before use and had directions. I was worried it wouldn't hold up, I've used it every night on her for weeks, even while she bites down on your finger it still doesn't rip or tear.
Cons:
#1 it's made in China, It doesn't seem to fit very well on her finger/paw as you can see she's trying to brush her own teeth... I wanted a flexible one and there is nothing out there on the market that I have seen that's made in USA like this. Bodhi dog has one that I wanted, their green, but reviews said poor fit in finger, not flexible, product was rubber, then plastic and then the company is in USA.....but .... Pay attention, company is in USA.. the product is manufactured in China.
Overall I'm happy with this product it just needs to be made in America, but I also use regular tooth brush this just gets inside the back teeth to clean them very well and it's hard to do with a regular toothbrush.

Our dog has a small mouth and my husband had a very hard time brushing his teeth with a dog toothbrush. It was such a fight every day, that my husband hated doing it. He found this fingerbrush toothbrush on Amazon and decided to try it. Have only had it for about a week and already can see the difference in our dog's teeth. Where before you had to hold him down while trying to brush his teeth, he actually seems to enjoy having his teeth brushed with this fingerbrush. Because we can actually clean his teeth with it, his teeth already look whiter and cleaner. Definitely recommend it, especially for dogs with smaller mouths or who hate having their teeth cleaned with a regular dog toothbrush.

I wish I found this 360 finger toothbrush sooner. My dog hates normal toothbrushes and the other plastic finger brushes weren't particularly useful. For a while I used some gauze with toothpaste. But she didn't like that too much either.
This is the first time she's actually enjoyed getting her teethbrushed. She doesn't run away from it and tolerates it well enough that I have been able to brush 3 days in a row with her still not running away when it comes out. She has some tooth issues since she wasn't super cooperative in the past and dental chews do next to nothing for her. Wish I found this sooner.
Will continue using these brushes in the future and for every pet I get in the future. I tried many different brushes before to try to get her to tolerate it. Super soft baby toothbrushes, dog toothbrushes of different varieties, etc. This is definitely a product I would recommend to anyone with a pet that hates other methods.
Btw after the first day using this brush with her Virbac CET toothpaste, her horrible breath became mostly gone. All other methods I tried before never got the smell to go away to that extent which means because she tolerates this brush better, I have been able to do a much better job brushing her teeth.
If you are debating whether your fussy dog will tolerate this, if mine did yours most likely will. She hates plastic-like things in her mouth doesn't even like plastic toys. So for her to tolerate it was honestly surpising to me. I think it's because the silicone is a nice soft quality.

This pet toothbrush is great. I wish I’d had it years ago. All the others are too big and slip off my finger. But the real beauty of this design is not just its size. It is of a softer rubber. I can move my finger inside, flexing the top knuckle to both feel and move around on my dog’s teeth. No guessing what I’m getting or poking her.
Brushing goes faster, is way more thorough and my pup much prefers it. After 2 weeks, her teeth are much cleaner than I had been getting them up til now.
I sure wish I could manage on the cat. I may try, little baby steps, to his front teeth to start and see if we can.

We've got a super happy dog. He doesn't mind having his teeth brushed with this little unit. This is a great way to help your dog maintain his teeth/gum health.
I do recommend, however, that you have your dog's teeth cleaned every once in a while by a professional. In our town there's a traveling doggie dental service that comes around. $140 for a teeth cleaning for your dog and no anesthesia used. It's a bargain and great not to have to worry about drugs or worry that you're not keeping up with our dog's health maintenance.
Check with your local pet store or feed store to see if there's a pro who can perform a proper cleaning of your dog's teeth.

This is the best toothbrush I have ever used for my dog. Others were too hard to remove from my finger. This one is slightly bigger, and forms a seal so it doesn’t feel as though it will slip off and go down my dogs throat. The larger surface area also does a much more thorough job. The silicone is durable but thin enough that I can actually feel each individual tooth so I am sure they are getting much cleaner. A great price and I will buy more.

After years of looking, I think we may have finally found a dog toothbrush that's not a total pain to use. While we always knew it was important to brush our pup's teeth, the need became more evident after we had to go to the vet for some dental work. But given our dog's aversion to the brushes we'd used in the past, as well as her small size and feistiness, the chore often went wayside. We tried it all—traditional brushes, finger brushes, pretty much everything out there... None of them worked. Until now. My friend recommended this brush and I couldn't be happier. Brushing our dog's teeth has become a regular habit, because finally we have a toothbrush that's easy, quick, and effective. And you even get a case for each of the two brushes. Best $30 spent in a long time!

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box! There were 2 little finger brushes in a case! The case is a very thoughtful and useful touch to the product (I haven’t read everything in the description nor have I looked through all the pictures where it clearly shows the cases for the toothbrushes ).
The finger toothbrush is thick but has soft bristles, so now when I stick my finger in Aki’s mouth I won’t have to worry to hurt his gums. The toothbrush is a little big for my finger, but I put two drops of water-one on the tip of the finger and the other on the middle part- and the toothbrush stays in place.
I am recommending this product to everyone!

Cannot recommend this 360 degree finger brush enough. Such a simple, and creative solution to pet teeth cleaning. Our dog usually never lets us go near his mouth. Saved us $100s in going to a vet for a deep teeth cleaning. Super easy usage, easy to clean, can throw it in the dishwasher or just rinse off after use.

This silicon finger brush is incredibly easy to use - and so EFFECTIVE (more on that in the last paragraph this review). At first, it seemed a little hard to get on my finger but I simply got my finger wet first under the faucet and it slipped right on with virtually no effort. And once on, it's easy to take off but doesn't slip off accidentally when in use - so - perfect! Quick & simply to clean - rinses off in the sink in seconds, and ready to use the next time. And, my dog not only lets me clean her teeth - she actually like it (this from a dog who used to hate it when I would try to brush her teeth with a regular doggy toothbrush).
This silicon "brush" is incredibly maneuverable - way more so than standard dog toothbrushes or regular finger brushes. So much so it makes it super easy to not only get those normally impossible to reach back molars - AND - even the back sides of the teeth! With a normal dog tooth brush (or finger brush) my dog's clamping down made that impossible. Now, it's not only possible - it's easy!
Our dog's canine teeth had build-up but it was not until I pulled her gums back and looked at her back molars that I saw how bad things had gotten - and we have a young dog! Her back molars not only had build-up but some appeared to be stained a tea colored brown that did not come off with my fingernail. It was pretty disheartening and I felt terrible. How could this happen so quickly? The vet said it was plaque (and not yet tartar) and that it wasn't bad enough to warrant a professional cleaning - yet - but that I needed to do a better job brushing. He said: "I can see exactly where your brushing stops" (referring to the condition on the back molars which I had not been able to do with a regular brush as my dog just wasn't having it).
Tips: here's what's working for us. Instead of squeezing out a pea sized blog of tooth paste onto this brush, I put a tiny dab - that it's - on the very tip of the brush and focus my efforts on two of our dog's worst teeth on one side - on top and then on the bottom. Then I put another small dab and repeat on the other side of her mouth with 4 teeth on that side. Then, I use another small dab and focus work on another group of teeth. All totaled, I'm using maybe 4 to 6 very small dabs of dog toothpaste, probably half the size of pea collectively, perhaps less. That's it. However much you choose to use is up to you - be sure and use an amount that's safe and effective for your dog.
Effectiveness: this works and it works well! In just 3 days using the same vanilla flavored enzymatic toothpaste by CET I was seeing improvement. By day 7, that improvement was so obvious I was actually surprised by how much better they looked. It's now been a little over two weeks and they are looking considerably better! Conservatively, I'm thinking a 50% improvement. Not bad for just 2 weeks, right? I'm actually think I'm going to be able to completely reverse things - we'll see. I'll try and update this review again in a few weeks and let you know how it's looking but in the meantime, I am absolutely thrilled with this brush. I paid $16 and it came 2 in a pack) and the first (and only one) I've been using still looks brand new after it's rinsed off. All in all - this brush is a game changer! I can now brush our dogs back teeth and even the back sides of her teeth, all in less than a couple minutes a day.

I would love it if my dog stood there with his mouth wide open, patiently sitting still while I brushed his teeth. As it stands, my dog lets me brush his teeth, but it's because he likes the toothpaste. So it's a somewhat cross purposes situation, with me trying to brush as quickly as possible before the toothpaste runs out, and the dog trying to eat as much toothpaste as he can but not really loving having his face pulled about. I originally had the standard, silicone brushes with bristles only in one small section on one side of the brush, but, due to the somewhat hectic situation caused by my dog's and my differing goals, it seemed like most of the time my finger was tilted at an angle that no longer allowed the bristles to come into contact with the teeth. While intellectually I understood how the 360° brush differed from the one I had been using, I didn't quite connect how much EASIER it was going to make things. The actual experience of having bristles contact my dog's teeth no matter how my finger was positioned was FANTASTIC. I now know that his teeth are actually getting brushed. We've been using this brush for two and a half months, and so far it's holding up well. (It's worth noting that my dog is not an insane or relentless chewer, so take that as you will.) I saw the manufacturer's comment that they were going to be coming out with a brush for larger dogs. My dog is a 55 lb standard poodle, and while I will try the larger brush when it comes out, the one that I have now is working so much better than the ones I had previously that I'm very, very happy with my purchase.
