| Tiny yorkie tooth brush Hi All! Would you guys know where I can buy a tiny tooth brush for Maya? I have the finger ones, but they are too big still. Their mouth is so small as you all know, so I am looking for something really tiny. Thanks! |

| I had to buy a cat tooth brush for Tibbe. The length of the body of bristles is only about 1/2 inch in length, way less then 1/2 in width Tand it is the tiniest I have ever found. The handle is red plastic and angled. It came in a package with cat toothpaste which I trashed.

| It says Petrodex in raised letters on the handle. Bought it at Canine Commissary in Dallas, Texas. Can't recall if that was the name of the cat toothpaste or not, sorry. It is the smallest toothbrush I have found. I brush Tibbe's teeth with it almost daily and sometimes 2 times a day - depending upon what he's eaten that might decay his teeth. He has sweet smelling breath as long as he gets regular brushings and yearly dental cleanings by the vet. Make it a lifelong habit to do this for your dog if you never do another thing! It is sooo beneficial for a Yorkie to have excellent dental care.

| I use toddler toothbrushes (Snoopy, Crayola, etc.). They are the right size for Ellie and the cheapest. We switch them out every couple-few months.

| I used a baby toothbrush to get her use to it. Now I'm using the electric toothbrushes they sell at Dollar Tree. They aren't as strong as regular electric toothbrushes since they only run on one battery (which is included.) can't beat that price. She does great on it and loves to give the brush a little chew when I'm done.

| Oh yes, it's not loud at all. I really like it. Now that I've been using it a while and she's use to it, part of me is thinking about getting a stronger one next time. Problem is I bought 2 extras because they aren't always in stock. Lol

| CET Dental makes a tiny toothbrush, not sure if you've seen it. I know it is way too tiny for my dogs who are about 8-10 lbs. Amazon.com: C.E.T. Mini Toothbrush: Kitchen &...

| I use a Sonicare on Sugar with the small head adapter that comes with it. It does a fantastic job
