| Little Toothbrushes for Yorkies I have a toothbrush for Muffy, but I have the hardest time brushing her teeth with it cause it's bigger than the inside of her mouth pretty much! For those of you that brush your yorkie's teeth .. what brand do you use? |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Pet stores carry brushes specifically for pets. To be honest...you don't need a brush...your finger will do and it's much simpler

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I started using an electic toothbrush for Joey, it's has a really small head, and I think it does a better job than the manual toothbrushing I was using. Amazon.com: Conair Interplak Rotary Toothbrush -... I got mine at Target, it's comes with 3 heads, and it's only about $16.00

| I just bought the disposable finger toothbrush gloves. plastic gloves and on the thumb and finger they have little rough bristles so you can get a little scrub going. Petsmart had them when I was looking for toothbrush. Seem to work good...more likely it's that Ted loves his toothpaste. |

| I couldn't find a toothbrush small enough for Bailey's mouth, so I wrap a thin cotton cloth around my finger and brush his teeth that way, so much easier!

| I use either a baby's toothbrush or one of those little finger stalls, like a rubber thimble with little bristles on it. I get them from the pet shop. Baby brushes you can buy anywhere that sell adult ones. No good me naming brands or shops as yours are mostly different to ours over here. xx Meggie |

| I have read on here that someone uses those disposable mascara brushes. They are just the right size to get in their little mouths. I haven't tried it though. I have to look when I go to my local drug store.

| When I had braces I had these little brushes to use on them. They were small and work good too. |

| I found a little bitty disposable toothbrush that has a little hard toothpast pearl in the middle of it. They come in like three in a pack for carrying in your purse. I just popped out the pearl and use the brush. It's tiny and it doesn't bother Sadie (too much). |
