Will this toothbrush be suitable for a 5 lb chihuahua, or is it too big?

Congratulations on wanting what's best for your dog. The small end might work. I have a German Shepherd and so the large end works great. I also make my own toothpaste as dogs will lick all the paste off the brush before you even get brushing. Home made toothpaste is baking soda, food grade glycerin and a flavoring. My dog like the extracts and just a tiny dot of it is powerful - vanilla to almond. How I trained my dog originally to let me brush his teeth was to throw his tennis ball repeatedly - pant - pant - open mouth. Good luck.

One of the ends will probably be way too big for your chihuahuas little mouth, but the other end will be the perfect size. So it will work :)

I think it would be wide enough. I have a standard chihuahua 9 lbs, teacup chihuahua 3.5 pounds and a yorkie 5.5 pounds and they all fit fine and have room to lay down.

I have a 5lb yorkie and it's prob bigger than he needs. It's a good size for him; however a larger dog can use it but prob won't be able to go on the same pad as many times as my dog does. Hope this helps.

Maybe. My 5lb Chihuahua is comfortable and seems to fill it fairly well. If your dog is not tall it would probably work well.

I think it might be a bit large for a Pomeranian weighing 4 pounds....may be a bit too wide. I have a Great Pyrenees that I use it on and do have a friend with a rough-haired Collie who is much smaller than my dog but the Collie loves being brushed with this.

I don't think it is too big/heavy. Although it depends on the breed I suppose. Although my dog is full grown, I would have used this on him when he was a pup. My dog is an Olde English Bulldogge.

Probably the large to give him or her some lead way, I have a Chihuahua who is less the 5lbs, that's why I got a small, cus that is as big as she'll get..

My Chihuahua is about 10 lbs and fits comfortably. I think it might be a bit small for a 35lb Schnauzer.

Not really sure, I have a teacup chihuahua and he is only 6lbs. I'm sure any dog up to 15 lbs or so would be fine but couldn't be sure. Good luck. I love my stroller!!

It would probably be kind of big for a 5 lb dog. We have it on our bichon who weighs approx 12 lbs and it fits fine and works great. We've had no issue with the battery and still on the first one after approx 2 mos of use, we do turn it off at night.

I used an X-small with our 5 lb chihuahua. She is short haired and it was a little big for her.

It's definitely big enough for a chihuahua. I have a 10lbs papillon mix and he has plenty of room to stretch out in it.

I think it is a bit too big - unless you are really careful. Plus, for Pomeranian fur, I wouldn't think you need this type of brush, anyway...

I would say no it would be too big. my chihuahua was about five lbs and was bit big but the straps with velcro helped tighten it.

I think the small 7.5" 20mm would work well for you. I have the big one but I have Newfies! Great brush, especially if they don't like to be brushed, they will let you with this one because it doesn't pull.

I got the extra small for my Chihuahuas. They range in size from 5-8 pounds.

I think the bites would be a bit too large for a chihuahua. I don't know if they make a smaller bite size in this variety, they may. Perhaps you could get a small bag of this somewhere and give it a try that way?. It's such a great food. Hope this helps. Of course, you could always smash it to bits that suit your furry family member.
