Abstract

This application relates generally to animal tooth brushes specifically designed for cleaning the teeth of animals whose teeth and mouth shape is different from human, and whose gums are more sensitive. This will enable pet owners a means of offering oral hygiene which will aid in the prevention of periodontal and related diseases and the reduction of halitosis. The toothbrush comprises an elongated handle securing brush heads which have a plurality of bristle tufts. The heads and the tufts attached thereto taper vertically and horizontally to easily fit and reach the inner reaches of a pet's mouth. Individual bristles make up each tuft which have a diameter of in the range of 0.0025 to 0.005 to accommodate the sensitive nature of pet's gums as compared to those of humans. The tufts are arranged in columns increasing in length toward the handle to form a trapezoidal or tapered bristle surface which aids in preventing slippage from the pet's teeth into the gums, as well as fit the shape of the animal mouth.
