Sorry, but these brushes are rather big for my index finger. I need to use my thumb to get a decent fit. I'd like them to come in small, medium or large size as one of my dogs is a mini pin and this brush just will not go to the back of her teeth without a hastle. My Westie also gives me a time when I try to put the brush on the back teeth.
I have a 5 month old English Setter pup, and wanted to start her early on teeth brushing. Other than getting her used to my fingers around her teeth and gums, I hadn't done much conditioning or training with tooth brushing, so I was glad to see that she didn't really mind the finger toothbrush. I think it's a little less effective by the time you get to the very back molar, but mostly because her jaw is smaller.
This is a great product for larger dogs, especially those not used to having their teeth brushed, because it's a little more sensitive and gentle of a sensation. But for smaller dogs (mine is 35 pounds) with smaller jaws, I don't know if it would do a good job with the back teeth. It was a good tool to start with, but I'll probably get a really soft bristled kid's toothbrush and use that until she (and her mouth) gets a little bit bigger.
Wow my Peke finally gave me no problems about cleaning his teeth with the finger brush. He actually liked the feeling on his gums too! Great product and what a wonderful idea this is! I would surely recommend this product to all!!
I've used this type of toothbrush effectively for many years. Unfortunately, I lost my last toothbrush & have been unable to replace it. This brush is similar but too large for my finger--it falls off in the dog's mouth, & too large for her mouth (she is only 6 &1/2 pounds). I HOPE YOU BEGIN TO CARRY THE SMALLER SIZE, PLEASE.
I have used a finger toothbrush since Gus was a few months old and he will be 8 in June. I like it best because you have more control and he lets me use it better that the regular toothbruch.
Reading the other responses and their suggestions hear are some OTC suggestions. 1-800-PetMeds Ear Cleansing Solution 16 oz Btl #10660, 4oz Btl #10893 Zymox Otic with 1.0% Hydrocortisone 1.25oz #10622. 4oz # #11057 Eradimite Ear Mite Treatment 1oz Bottle #3311 You may also want to speak with your vet to see if it is mites or an infection

My dog also shook his head. I took him to the vet to find he had wax build up over his ear drums. Ear cleansing drops were recommended 3 times a day for a week, then 2 times a week thereafter to keep his ears clean and free from mites. There is a bottle on sale now on this site for $5.99. Save yourself the $75 vet bill and try this first.

My dog used to do this all the time until I got OTC drops and wipes. I would wipe his ears out (YUCK!!) and then put a couple of drops in and massage...viola!

Hi, I had an Airedale Terrier that rubbed his ears on everything! It turned out to be a yeast infection, after giving the medicine he never did it again. Hope this helps you!
