Our old Oral Bs have new heads and are used by the grandkids when here. Bought hubby a sonic a few years ago,I have a slightly more advanced Oral B. My little dog has such a tiny mouth,never found a toothbrush small enough. My border collie wouldn't let you near here with something buzzy. Have never had any problems tomatoes or anything else being pollinated in the green houses. Doors always open when warm enough,(even in winter) My oldest daughter asked yesterday,"where's my toothbrush"? Told her I used it to clean the dogs ****. He's only ever pood once indoors,a few weeks ago,he wouldn't use the flap,we figured he'd somehow hurt himself. Took a while got that sorted. Yesterday he left a present in our tiny hall outside the bathroom. Unfortunately, sometimes when he goes,it gets stuck on the long hair under his tail. Hubby gave him a shower. THEN discovered someone had let their dog crap right on our drive. Had to go and hose it off.
Oh crikey. Some of the posts on here are beyond compare I love your last one Nanny Beach and the sentence beginning with 'Told her I used it to clean the dogs . . . . .' just had me spitting toast over the table.
We had a poodle cross before they became fashionable. If you forgot to trim her bum, you would find the poor thing sitting upright, looking guilty and embarrassed and refusing to move. A toothbrush wouldn't have been of any use at all. She didn't need to feel guilty, I would have enough guilts for both of us .
Our two dogs won't go near anything buzzy either and, at going on 15 and 13 it's too late to try again. However, they now both have arthritis meds hidden in half a pouch each of cat food every morning and followed by a Dentastix. They get another Dentastix at bedtime. Both have clean, healthy teeth.
I think I'd get that tail hair trimmed @Nanny Beach.

We had poodles when I lived at home. The one downside of a dog which doesn't shed its coat is what you have alluded to. Thankfully my mother used to do the necessary, be that keeping the hair trimmed or dealing with the consequences of doing so. I couldn't stay in the house when the consequences were being dealt with, and the smell still makes me feel sick. It's the main reason I wouldn't have a dog now.
B3,had a buffet lunch yesterday youngest daughters birthday, swapping baby stories,one was where oldest took off nappy,she was in her cot, contents in her hair and up the wall!! We have cut the dogs fur under his tail,and some off the underside of his tail. He's a Phalene,long haired breed,you aren't meant to clip. He also has no undercoat or oil. So it sticks like **** to a blanket. I didn't really use her toothbrush 😃.Leo our toy is 15,in the 10 years we've lived here,everyone he needs ahem,"something"sorted out,he actually jumps in the bath and waits for you. One night just staggering off to bed,such a lousy sleeper,I have lights turn low,I don't put the bathroom light on to clean my teeth. Thought I saw a white flash,then half asleep groaned,yes,he WAS awaiting a shower!!!
