Can a dog brush her own teeth? Until now, I would have said no to that, but now I found a way! We get our teeth brushed every night before bed, and we get good things like bully sticks and bones to chew on, but sometimes a girl wants to brush during the day. The product that found us lets us brush whenever we would like.
My GBGV Life received the Bristly in this post to review. My GBGV Life receives no additional benefits for barking about Bristly. The opinions in this review are the honest opinion of My GBGV Life. Bristly is not responsible for the contents of this post.
At our house, my sisters and I all love to chew things. We don’t destroy anything, but we like our bones, antlers, etc. Olivia is coming out of teething and really loves chewing. When Bristly asked us if we would like to test out their DIY toothbrush for dogs, we howled out a big yes! We post about the importance of dental health several times a year, and this is a great tool to keep dog chompers in top shape!
See all the bristle lined grooves? When a pup chews on the Bristly, these bristles work on scrubbing the teeth from all sides! Each side of the Bristly is different, so all your teeth get worked over.
What makes Bristly different from other chews is that you fill it with tasty dog toothpaste through the hole in the top. All you need is an amount about the size of a quarter. As the dog chews, the toothpaste releases slowly into the bristles. I know we love the taste of our toothpaste, which makes chewing this tool even more appealing to dogs. We asked, and you can use your normal dog toothpaste, or they sell their own, special for the Bristly.
The Bristly comes in four different sizes to cover all dogs out there. Olivia is so thrilled with it, she tried to jump up on the sink to grab it. The toothpaste dispenses in small amounts, making it safe to use just about anywhere your dog feels like brushing her teeth.
Bailie prefers the comfort of bed for brushing. At six, teeth brushing is a well ingrained pre-bedtime routine.
I’m happy as a clam to chew on it on the floor. It has the stabilizing paw pads on the bottom to make it easy for us dogs to hold on to. Of course, I prefer to hold it sideways, but it still works just fine for me.
Olivia is really crazy about the Bristly and doesn’t ever want to give it up. She really works it hard, so the paw stabilizers are just right for her!
My sisters and I give the Bristly twelve paws up! If you are asking yourself, “can a dog brush her own teeth”, give one a try and see for yourself. They are available right on the Bristly website! I think we might need two more because fights may break out if we only have one to share!

Well that’s pretty cool. Good for the peoples like me who forget to brush their teeth.
We love it with our tasty toothpaste in it.
Good oral hygiene is a practice for all creatures – human and fur. I’m happy to see that y’all take it seriously. Your mom did a great job with the photo shoot capturing you with a great product for pups. Although, I do not have any pets of any kind. This is good info to know and I gave a tweet out for my peeps to catch. Happy random Tuesday!
Thanks for the tweet 🙂 Dental health is so important for overall health, but many humans don’t seem to know that.
Thank you for the review Madison. I will order the brush for my Alex.
I’m sure he will like it. The toothpaste inside that slowly comes out makes it even more appealing.
That really is quite the cool product and we are very glad you like it!
It is a really good idea, we think.
We need to check this out! It sounds like a winner!
Mom still brushes our teeth before bed, but this is great during the day, or when we are just chilling and feeling like chewing.
OMDs this is just too much fun and you look quite adorable with your Bristly. Your breaths must be daisy fresh.
As for the Barn art quilts.
They are actual block quilting patterns. I think the one on my blog that is circles is called the Wedding quilt.
All of them have names and some are historical like the flying geese pattern which is very old and represents freedom from Slavery.
I just learned one called Churn Dash, consist of rectangles and triangles and squares. I have no idea where that name originated but I do love the way it came out.

It has fascinated us on drives through Iowa for years now. We had no idea what it was or was for, but it makes more sense now. Iowa is a long, boring drive that we seem to have to go through to get anywhere, so we have lots of time to notice things like this.
We may try this to add to our regime. We get our teeth brushed nightly as part of getting ready to go to bed, but this looks like fun. Hope there is a tiny one for little Mia!
Just like our bedtime routine, but some other cleaning of the teeth on our own during the day is also a great idea.
WOW! My mommy thought this would be pawrfect for me. I hate having my muzzle messed with so I fight brushing teeth. The only person allowed to mess with my muzzle is my beautician, Juanita. Mommy ordered one for me and one for Puffin. We hope these are fantastic for us. Puffin and I both LOVE to chew on antlers, nylabones, and bones. Mommy has found some furniture on which Puffin is testing her teeth. XOXO, Sparkle
Remember to put your favorite toothpaste inside because that makes the chewing flavorful. Olivia is really nuts for it, and I love it too. Bailie likes it, but she isn’t quite as wild about things that are rubber like.
Yes they can. We brushed our precious Little Bit’s teeth every single day. She loved the beef flavored toothpaste the best. A fond memory.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. My best to your mom. ♥
Olivia sits and waits for her turn every single night and loves it too.
Ok, We’ll bite! Sounds like just what we have been looking for.

You boys need to keep that breath kissable, you know 🙂
I brush everyone’s teeth at bedtime too! I love this idea – I’m going over to their link to check it out 🙂
It’s a great way to add some extra cleaning without much of any effort from the human.
now there needs to be a brush for kitty’s teeth! Cheers!
My mom said the same thing, but kitties are more difficult to get to chew things.
12 paws? wow than it MUST be good!!! the mama hopes she can cat it here… her pointer looks not good after the try to brush da teeth of da Nelly today…
Oh dear. We love tooth brushing and never have bitten our mom’s fingers. This is a great way to give us extra cleaning power.
Interesting…when Bristly contacted us MONTHS ago we were quite interested……….they never got back to us……..I still think that product looks like a good one.
We think it is a great tool, especially for humans who don’t brush their dog’s teeth at all.
Rosy loves getting her teeth brushed…the boys not so much. This might be a great alternative!

We all love it, but this is just another way to make sure our chompers stay shiny clean.
What a neat product, it needs to be on my gift list for the pups this Christmas.
Great idea! The gift of dental health.
Wow! Mom loves this recommendation! We are going to order this! Hooray for dental health!! your friend Lilly
Healthy chompers are a must for overall health. I bet you guys will love it. Make sure to add doggy toothpaste so it tastes great while you are scrubbing your teeth on your own.
We’ve seen these online and wondered if they worked. Dental health is soooooo impawtant!
Our teeth are super clean already, so we cannot attest to any additional cleaning, but we really work this thing over, and with all the scrubbing bristles, it has to help get any tartar and stuff off our chompers.
I definitely need to do more to help keep Luke’s teeth clean, since he won’t let me brush them. This definitely sounds worth a try!
Get a good flavor of toothpaste and I bet he will love chewing on it.
Great pictures! You look like you are having tons of fun. I gots myself one of these too, but I can never figure out how to hold it correctly in my paws …
