Does your dog’s breath smell like a public bathroom? It may be time to hunker down and invest in some doggy toothbrushes.
Oral hygiene is just as important for dogs as it is for humans. While dogs don’t eat nearly as much processed sugar and coffee as we do, they can still develop gum disease, plaque buildup, and tooth decay. Your dog’s breath may be more than a gross inconvenience—it could be a sign of a dirty, unhealthy mouth.

Luckily, brushing your dog’s teeth isn’t too difficult. You just need a good dog-friendly toothpaste, a good toothbrush, and a touch of self-confidence. But every dog has different needs (and fears), so you can’t just shove the first toothbrush that you come across into your dog’s stinky mouth. You’ll want to consider your dog’s current oral health (unhealthy gums can become sensitive), and how obedient your dog is when a non-food item ends up in its mouth.
Lucky for you, we’ve taken the time to find the best doggy toothbrushes, for every mutt’s mouth.
