Emmi-Pet Ultrasonic Dog Toothbrush

By

First off I have to admit that I am not the best pet parent in the world, my grooming bag did not contain a dog toothbrush.   Luckily Riley and Katie have eaten raw diets most of their lives and we have very little if any plaque build up on their teeth. But for Trixie and Chicky (the Pekingese) it’s a totally different story. Trixie had a complete dental in March, that included extractions, so I knew that it was time for me to step up my game in the dog dental department. Brushing my dogs teeth needed to become a daily part of my habits, just as I brush my teeth.

So I started searching for different dog toothbrushes.  Unfortunately I came to a quick realization that most dog toothbrushes are made for large dogs so the brush heads are really big which is way too big for a little Shih Tzus mouth. So I resorted to little kids brushes.  As fate would have it, one day I received an email telling me all about the Emmi-Pet Ultrasonic Toothbrush and asking if I wanted to try it. I was very skeptical, an ultra-sonic toothbrush that has zero vibration. Hmmm , sounds interesting and if  the hype of it being non-vibrating is true, then we’ll have a winner. So I couldn’t wait to try it out on my dogs!

When the toothbrush arrived I immediately charged it and turned it on to use. Much to my surprise when it was on there was no vibration. But how could I be sure that this was going to work? I did a little experiment that I thought would give me a little more assurance this was going to work. I placed the toothbrush head in a glass of water. I really thought that if this was ultra-sonic I should at least see some movement of the water. But that didn’t happen. At this point I become even more skeptical.
 

How to Use the Emmi-Pet

I don’t know about you, but I normally don’t read manuals on how to use something… I figure turn it on and use it, it’s very simple logic. Luckily Emmi-Pet / Emmi-Dent has a video. I was surprised when watching that you don’t brush like you normally would. You hold the brush in place over the tooth and let the ultra-sonic air waves with the special toothpaste do it’s work.
Emmi-pet Ultrasound Toothbrush: Cleans the teeth of your pet with 100% Ultrasound Technology! Emmi-pet is the “no-brushing” toothbrush innovation which cleans without any motion, vibration or noise. Your pet will feel no sensation when cleaning his teeth.

 Brushing Teeth Gets Real

At this point I am not sure how the Emmi-Pet can work, as I said before, I can be very skeptical. So I decide to try out the Emmi-Pet Ultra-Sonic Toothbrush myself. Yes dog toothbrush and dog toothpaste. OMG!! I just couldn’t believe how my teeth felt after I finished, they felt so clean and polished, almost as if I had just come from the dentist. At this point I knew it would work great on Trixie and Chicky. Yes, it may seem gross, but the special dog toothpaste with nano-bubbles was not that bad. It’s amazing what we will do for our pets sometimes.
 
Did you think you were going to see a pic of me using the brush?
 

Final Verdict

I absolutely am in love with the Emmi-Pet Ultrasonic Dog Toothbrush!!! I have noticed a big difference in my girls teeth since we have been “brushing”.  The best part is that they don’t mind! I also believe this is one of the best long-term investments in your dogs health you can get.

    I brush the dogs’ teeth with a finger brush. I am working on using the reg, toothbrush but I think that they would benefit more from this ultrasonic brush 🙂 I love that there is no vibration and it’s small enough for little dogs’ mouths!

    I do brush the teeth of all my three dogs. One of them is great and the other two are awful. It’s not the easiest. This is the first time I’ve seen this type of brush.

  10. Diana Cote says

    I do not, we are adopting next month so I will live to do it when we do bring him/her home.

    I brush my dogs’ teeth every week. The vet is impressed with my 10 year old dog’s teeth. He is not missing any. and his breath doesn’t stink either. My 5 year old dog’s teeth are in great shape now too. When we first got him they were yellow and had some tarter build-up.

    We do, but we need to more frequently. They don’t mind it, this sounds really neat! Would love to try

    The only time Cody gets his teeth brushed is when he is groomed. Guess i need to work on that.

  17. Elaine says

    Thank you so much for testing this so we don’t have too! Lol!! It sounds like a great toothbrush and maybe Haley would like it more than the one I use now. Sadly, I also am not the best at keeping up with teeth brushing on a daily basis.
