I just love John Paul Pet Tooth & Gum wipes — I assume anyone who’s ever tried to brush a dog’s set of teeth would really, really like these. Basically they improve upon the basic design of most dog toothbrushes by embracing the fact that when you’re trying to brush a dog’s teeth the dog will squirm away from you, clench its teeth, and generally make things as difficult as possible. Which is why those stupid dog toothbrushes that fit on your finger or look like a normal human toothbrush are so pointless and ineffective. They ignore the fact that you are going to have to get dog slobber on at least two, if not three of your fingers at some point. Yes, it’s disgusting, but true. If you want to keep your dog’s teeth clean, these basically handkerchief sized wipes are absolutely perfect for it. You are protecting your fingers from dog saliva. I don’t know about you, but I REALLY appreciate that. So I highly recommend these. They are SO MUCH MORE convenient than those usual dog toothbrushes. And they’ll keep your dog’s breath smelling a LOT better than not brushing them at all.
The only reason I’m not giving these 5/5 stars is because they are a little flimsy — they tend to break pretty quickly (or maybe my dog’s teeth are just too sharp for them). I really wish they wouldn’t break quite so quickly. Also they’re not that environmentally friendly — you’re basically just filling up landfills when you throw these away (though it is kind of nice just throwing them away once I’ve brushed my dog’s teeth and they’ve become gross).

Paul Mitchell products are 100%-animal testing free, but they are neither organic nor vegan/vegetarian according to their website, though I’ve read a few blogs that suggest that Paul Mitchell products are vegan/vegetarian — if you have any information on this, could you please drop me a line?)
