Kids sonicare toothbrush heads. On clearance! They are even smaller than the regular ones and have soft bristles. They had two sizes 4+ and 7+ kids ages. I got the smallest and have brushed a few times and it has been going okay..i think i have done a lot of brushing of lips but everytime has gotten better.

So if you are or are wanting to start using a sonicare on them and have a target near you i suggest going to get these before they run out! Usually when target has things on clearance they go away or are replaced with something slightly different. But instead of like $25 for 2 heads it was $12 i think.

Also, i have a question to add...do yall use seperate brushes for your dogs? I have been since i figured that spreading bacteria between the two would be just as bad for dogs as people. But just wondering if this is the norm?

thank you ashley!!!!!!!!!!! I am 1/2 way to target as i write thissssssssss........!!!!!!!!

I couldn't believe that last video of the dog laying on his back to get his teeth brushed. I thought I was doing good to get Heidi's done just doing the outside. Amazing. Those big mouths look a lot easier to do than on a little dog.

Sugar lays on my lap and lets me brush for the full 2 minutes. I swear she counts the BEEPs. As soon as the 4th beep sounds she is on her feet

Wow, that's pretty impressive!

This is awesome! The humans in my house use a Sonicare and we couldn't live without it! I never thought about using it for my pups, though! I am definitely going to have to try this!

Would the Phillips one speed be ok...or should I go straight for the better one with variable speeds.

Any suggestions, what are you all using, speed wise?

Thats a great price! I prefer the flexcare design, less chance of water seeping into the handle. But at $40 its hard to go wrong!!

Does this design come with the option to use a compact head?

I'm sure one speed is fine. My Flexcare has(among others,) a "sensitive" setting and a "go clean" setting, both of which I use but probably aren't needed.

I use the SENSITIVE every day and the GO CLEAN after vacations when I need to remove some build up because petsitters were not as diligent as I am.

It is an e series, and they do make e series compact heads...

Amazon.com: Philips Sonicare HX7012/60 e-Series...
In the description it says:
"The E-series compact brush head fits with Advance, Elite and Essence series handles only."

The 39.99 5300 model is an essence model...

All this teeth talk has given me a strange desire to go brush

That really is a great price! Since less water is used with doggie brushing I doubt the water seeping into the handle would even be an issue anyway
