| We looked at one of those but Tibbe's mouth couldn't accomodate it. I couldn't get it in far enough to get his back molars. I use a very tiny 1/2" brush with the base of the bristles measuring only about 1/2" in length and maybe 3/8" in width. The bristles themselves are only about 3/8" long. Haha - don't tell Tibbe but the brush is actually for cat teeth. He's got the tiniest little mouth and tongue. He doesn't have a very long muzzle so I had to shop and shop to find something small enough for him.

| Gee, I had a feeling it was going to be too big. When I ordered it online, it said it was for small breed mouths. But when I opened it today, I was thinking it looks a little big to me. Maybe I can use it on Shelby lol

| I saw it in a store and it looked so good until I held it up to Tibbe and it was so big for his tiny mouth. I couldn't have gotten it in to brush molars or anything without hurting his tongue and roof of his mouth. These Yorkie are so dang tiny it's hard to find ANYTHING to help them. I looked and looked until Canine Commissary in Dallas showed me that cat toothbrush. It's very small and soft. Just have to change it when it get stiff from use, like a human toothbrush.

| The more I hunt, the more I'm liking the idea of popping the middle out of those little Wisp toothbrushes like Kat posted that time. Those seem like the perfect size. Heck, just pup that bead in the middle out and fill the whole up with toothpaste lol

| Even the small ones are too big for my guys & my biggest is Mimi @ exactly 7 #'s. I was thinking that one of the bristles alone would be perfect size, so I disassembled it & they were 3 little tiny toothpick handles that they stuck together, ended up throwing it away loll.

| lol Well, I just got home from work and tried it out and that ain't happening in my little girl's mouth. Darn it! It looked like such a great idea, too. My bigger dog looked at me when I was coming towards him like "Umm, no."
