"I've tried multiple different toothbrushes for my cat and dog, this is by far the easiest to use! I highly recommend it for pet owners."

— Sheri

"Unfortunately I did not like this product. It’s a hard plastic, so no flex, and clunks on the teeth."

Bottom Line

Arm & Hammer’s toothbrush excels in design but may struggle with durability and size issues for various dogs, particularly those not in the smaller breed range as advertised. New users should consider the product’s actual fit in their dog’s mouth or consider younger pet or other dog toothbrushes.
