As far as I know, dogs and cats only really need the outer sides of their back teeth brushed regularly, so it doesn't take too long. Our vet tech recommended using a very small kiddie toothbrush instead of those "for pets" brushes, which is easier to slip into the cheek pocket (primed with tasty pet toothpaste, of course!)
