Finger brushes are not quite as effective in removing plaque from under the gumline as regular toothbrushes are. A triple-headed toothbrush is the same as a single head and a double head except it’s got three heads. This brush allows you to brush the outside, the inside and the top teeth all at the same time.

Finger toothbrushes are the perfect way to to get your dog used to brushing or for pets who prefer a finger in their mouth instead of an alien-looking device. Finger brushes clean well and give you excellent control, so you know if you’re brushing too hard or too soft. Glove Type Toothbrushes: The Enzadent toothbrush has dual heads to reach all surfaces. It also eliminates the need for multiple toothbrushes in multi-pet homes. The 360 Pet Finger Toothbrush from Jasper is made out of BPA-free silicone that's safe, effective, and soft. Similar to a regular brush, double-ended models simply feature a brush head at each end, and are usually slightly longer in overall length. The point of these brushes is usually that the heads come in differing large and small sizes. This means you can effectively use the large end to brush your pup’s larger teeth properly and then use the small end to clean smaller teeth without damaging their gums. 360-Degree HeadsAll dogs can be affected by dental issues, but there some breeds that more predisposed to the condition.

When you adopt a dog, you need some essentials like a good collar, leash, harness, lots and lots of poop bags, and even a toothbrush. Yep—it turns out that just like us humans, pups need regular teeth-brushing to keep plaque, tartar, tooth decay, and other dental diseases, like gingivitis, at bay. In fact, if you don’t brush your dog’s teeth, you put them at risk for bacteria from their mouth, causing infections in other parts of their body, too—like their kidneys and heart. If you’re looking for a dual-ended toothbrush for your pup, look no further than this option from Vetoquinol. Equipped with a large brush head on one end and a smaller head on the other, both are on an angle, making brushing easier. However, they are larger than other options, so even the smaller size can be too big for dogs or cats with particularly small mouths. Ergonomically designed, it also has an extra-long handle that makes it easy to reach even the hardest corners of your dog’s mouth. Available only in a bright green color, you will have to label these if you plan on buying for multiple pets.
