Side by Side Comparison of: Duke's Pet Products vs Arm & Hammer

I have a Pomeranian. Small dogs have small mouths with small sensitive teeth. I have tried many different types of toothbrushes for my baby's delicate small teeth and these by far are softest bristles that are great quality as well! Some are soft only the first few days and then the bristles start to stiffen, but not these. It's been several days now and the bristles are still soft and has held its shape and soft texture. I just purchased more right before writing this review. If you have small dogs, this toothbrush is a must!

5 Stars because it is exactly what I ordered, however the handle seems long (but honestly probably perfect for my lab / husky mix). It should help from having to get in SUPER close to your pet's pearly whites, but there will probably be a learning curve to using it (will update on how that goes once I get a chance to use them). The total length from brush to brush is 8.5 inches (not just the solid plastic handle. This isn't a problem, just a clarification. Also, the packaging isn't identical, but still the Duke's brand.

This is the perfect size for my chocolate lab! It definitely helped me get all the stuff he had lodged in the back. I love using the wider end to put the toothpaste on and to place the toothpaste on his teeth, I then use the smaller part to actually brush it in well and make sure I get it all nice and clean. I like that it reaches perfectly to all his back teeth.Great price and will definitely buy again!I used the KissAble Dog Toothpaste and my dog liked it a lot.

This is perfect! It is just the right size for my dog. I only use the smaller end, but it works great. My dog generally doesn't sit long enough to let me give her a thorough cleaning with he finger cover brush. I prefer this brush because it gives a ore thorough cleaning in a shorter amount of time. It's also much easier to use.

I initially purchased these toothbrushes from a local pet supply store. Because the store is so far away, I decided to see if I could find it online. Well lo and behold, I found it on Amazon from Zen Direct Inc.. This is the one and only toothbrush that my dogs love. They enjoy brushing their teeth...never gives me a bad time with this brush. It's double ended...there's a regular brush on one end and a smaller brush on the other side. Fast, no hassle shipping. Representative from Zen Direct emailed me to find out how the toothbrushes were working...wonderful customer service.

These are a softer bristle than the one we bought at the vet. Our dog doesn't resist it as much.

Purchased these hoping the bristles would be softer than the previous toothbrush that came with the doggie toothpaste, and they were! The large end is difficult fit in a chihuahua's mouth, so only got to use the smaller end- overall, a good product purchase.Pros: good value, soft bristlesCons- little dogs can only use the smaller end of the toothbrush.

Well you wouldn't start brushing your kids teeth at 5, so it's a good thing I have a dog and not kids. My very sweet corgi had a not so sweet teeth cleaning bill that inspired me to become a doggy dentist. He now is very used to having his fangs brushed and is a big fan of Petrodex Enzymatic Toothpaste Dog Poultry Flavor, 6.2-Ounce which in combination with this brushes keep his teeth clean clean! We use both the large a small ends and feel that we couldn't have found a better toothbrush for our dog. Still, dog teeth are awkard to brush, but you'll get over it if you have to have a teeth cleaning bill because you didn't realize how important it was to brush Fido's chompers!

They were longer than expected but to be honest I didn't read the actual dimensions. They are a great price compared to what you can find in pet stores for 2 brushes. They work as expected and the 2 sizes of brush heads are great. The bristles do seem a little stiff but I just soak the brush head in a cup of warm water before I brush my dog's teeth and don't brush too hard. They do the job and seem to last a long.

These are nice toothbrushes for my pups. The bristles are a good level of softness so they don't irritate their gums. I have all large dogs, but even the small end comes in handy when I'm trying to reach the back of their mouths. The reason I'm giving this item 4 stars is because after continuous wear, the bristles start to fall out...which isn't a huge issue as toothbrushes should be replaced eventually anyway. I think I just hoped to get a little more life out of them.

Bit cheaply made, but I like the sizing and the price. I throw the brushes in the dishwasher after use and these stand up decently to the wear and tear. Would buy again.

The bristles hold up well - better than any other brush I've used, without being too stiff or rough on my dog's gums. But the plastic of the handle is too flexible. I can't use enough pressure to get a good brushing force without the handle flexing so much that it becomes difficult to use. Stiffen the handle and you'll have a good product.

These are great brushes for keeping my two elderly dogs' teeth clean. They are soft enough to clean gently and thoroughly. Nice price for a set of two. Also pleased with the customer service and I'm happy to support a small, family owned business. Thank you!Update: lowering my stars from 5 to 3 because this product is already losing bristles after only a few weeks of use.

These work great, but was a little disappointed at the quality. They're pretty flimsy and I have a nippy dog with a strong jaw when it comes to grooming. Snapped the first one clean in half. Spend the extra two bucks and get the good one from a pet store.

This does the job. I have a very small dog and it isn't too large. I imagine it wouldn't be too small for a large dog. The only reason it's not getting a better rating is because I think the bristles are a little too stiff. I just run hot water over the brush for a few minutes before using and it relaxes the bristles and they are softer for a more comfortable brushing for my dog. For my next purchase I would try to find something that is softer though.

These brushes are perfect for my dog's hard to reach teeth. I pretty much only ever need to use the small brush as the bigger brush is way too big for my chi mix. Some of the bristles were falling out on arrival, but overall I can't complain.

I did not pay attention to the product description - "Super Soft Bristles". It turned out that the brush is TOO SOFT to the point that it does not function well. It is not that hard to brush my Beagle's teeth, but you cannot keep his mouth open all along. It means that you will have to put the toothbrush inside the mouth without actually viewing the movement. Since the brush is too soft, I could feel the brushing is not effective.

Same as the cheap brush I purchased on eBay, only slightly less firm.

I was hoping the bristles would be softer. My dog has receding gums and requires very soft bristles. I don't know that I would describe these as 'extra soft'. For some reason, Amazon won't let me return these, even though they're not as described.

NOT soft. You might as well go buy a kids toothbrush for a buck at the store. The product description made it seem as though these are extra soft, but they are no softer than a normal toothbrush. The extra length is unnecessary, just go buy a normal toothbrush!

too big for my 70 lb hound's mouth and I wanted the bristles softer.

Would not recommend for a large breed puppy. There is a smaller side to the brush, yet it is too small for my 20 something pound lab. Also handle is too big, cuts down on mobility when brushing. Better off with a kids toothbrush from the $ store.

Just got these toothbrushes, have used them to gently brush my dog's teeth exactly twice and they are already falling apart. The bristles are sticking out every which way and some look to be pulling out of the base. Don't know why I can't find the good quality toothbrushes sold with the Petrodex toothpaste to buy by themselves - they seem to always be packaged with the finger brush, which I don't need. The search for a good toothbrush for my dog continues. I doubt these two will last a month.

The seller was ok, but the product is cheap.

Really cheap.. junky.Just buy a toothbrush at the dollar store, it'll be cheaper and better.

These are not sturdy like human toothbrushes, VERY WEAK. My 10 week old golden retriever puppy was able to snap it clean in half. Used only 3 times, then broke!

My dog doesn't like me messing with him mouth. He was very resistant to these toothbrushes and the hard back actually caused some bleeding, so I immediately stopped using. I switched to the little plastic finger ones and those work much better.

I have a 4 pound Yorkie, and this was WAY to big for her little mouth. If you have a larger dog it should work fine.

one of the brushes was missing the bristles
