£145 for a toothbrush?

For your dog? Picked up a leaflet yesterday and thought it might be worth a look. It's electronic and for dogs. That's more than I paid for mine. It's main USP is that it's silent. Anyone got one? I know compared to dental work it's cheap but seems to be pushing it.

I just use an old human electric sonic toothbrush we have lying around.

Ah, but I guess it's makes a noise. Actually I've got 2 so I could have a go with my dog. She's only 1 and has some tartar build up.The vet said he doesn't brush his dogs teeth but I guess he gets a clean for free.

We also use an old Oral B human electric toothbrush for our greyhound, his teeth are pretty good (often a problem for greyhounds) and he tolerates the process despite being a bit of a drama queen generally!

Yes, my dog overthinks everything.

I totally feel your pain—expensive dental brush for dogs and I used to wrestle my dog daily with a toothbrush, and it was a total nightmare for both of us! Half the time, I’d barely manage to touch one molar before he'd wriggle away, and I was ready to give up on his teeth altogether.

Honestly, saved my sanity by swapping the brush for DogSuppy Dental Bright.
Instead of forcing a brush into his mouth, it’s just a natural powder you sprinkle over their food. It works through their saliva to naturally break down plaque, soften tartar, and tackle bad breath from the inside out—even on those back teeth you can never reach with a toothbrush.

It completely took the stress out of our routine, and his breath smelled so much better after a couple of weeks. If toothbrushing is a battleground in your house, I can't recommend making the switch enough!
