Vet Staff Nail Impressions of Different Dog Breeds Getting Claw Trims

For humans, a trip to the nail salon can be a pleasant experience, but the same cannot be said for dogs. One animal hospital has made light of the situation they often have to face when clipping dogs claws.

It’s easy to see how the hilarious video shared by Heritage Animal Hospital in Terre Haute, Indiana, (@heritage.animal.h) has racked up over 46.3 million views on TikTok. The footage shows the staff showcasing their acting skills as they demonstrate how seven breeds act during the grooming procedure.

With more than 6.5 million likes, the video begins with a blonde woman being carried into the practice while kicking and screaming; of course, she is pretending to be a Chihuahua.

The next scene represents a husky, with a woman on her hands and knees while on the examination table, making a high-pitched sound while being held still by another woman.

The same member of staff stays in the same position and reluctantly gives her hand, then snatches it back, like a Yorkshire terrier. This is followed by another woman heavily panting before freaking out and falling onto her side to illustrate a pug’s reaction. Next up is a woman rolling onto her back and excitedly panting while pretending to be a pit bull.

Then, a woman is walked on a leash, looking around while pretending to be a Great Dane. Some users have pointed out she is actually smaller than the breed, which is typically 30 to 32 inches tall. And, last but not least, the final clip shows what a boxer acts like while on the table. During the clip, the woman can be seen shaking all over the place while another staff member desperately tries to keep her still by feeding peanut butter.

Of course, the animal hospital isn’t exclusively for canines, so it was only right for the staff to include an impersonation of cats, too. The clip shows a staff member arching her back while hissing. She later falls on the floor; it is not unclear if that is intentional.

So far, the clip shared on January 23 has received over 108,000 comments.

One comment read: “Girl did the Chihuahua perfectly.”

“Oscars for all,” wrote another, while a third comment read: “Of course the pit just wants belly rubs.”

“The cat was so committed she almost did a faceplant,” posted a fourth user.
