It’s an okay toothbrush
Style: Big Dog, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I thought this design was very unique and a great idea when I bought the toothbrush. The handle is sort of harder to hold on to. I like how the toothbrush bristles are very soft and it is flat on the end to prevent back of the mouth injuries.
