Hi everyone, I am a student studying product design at Academy of Art University in San Francisco. The project for our team is to design pet grooming tools and I am responsible for electric toothbrush for pets. I don’t have a pet and I would like to listen to some of the opinions of the pet owners here. This survey will be used for research purposes and will not take long since it is only 10 questions.

Does this help to get plaque off their teeth. My dog seems to have alot of plaque and a regular tootbrush just wont seem to work.

Sounds very interesting to me
