No idea, but be careful not to mix it up with yours.

dont know craft but maybe the vibration would scare them.

Aren't you (or the teeth cleaner) scared that the dog might become aggressive and attempt to bite?

My dog never bites (unless you're a postman). I just thought it might be quicker and more effective than a normal toothbrush.

ttfn

Bless him craft. I have seen the ones which are a toothbrush head on a finger stall
so if the owner trusts their dog all is well. Basically I have never had to clean my dogs' teeth. I gave them daily chew sticks which meant they cleaned their own teeth, I also avoided giving them dog food with a high jelly content as I believed this would stick to the enamel and accelerate dental decay. Good luck

ttfn

We took Big Sis' 2yr old lurcher to the vets last week for her annual check up. The vet said he never seen such sparkling teeth! She enjoys 2 or 3 dried tripe sticks every day - they are quite hard and require a good gnawing on all back teeth craft. The dog's teeth look good too ;o)
