Trimming nails on your Pug is not always a fun job. Some pugs are reluctant, even terrified of getting their nails trimmed.
Some even starts screaming, yelping, and moving around constantly. You fight tooth and nails (no pun intended) to get their nails cut… the ultimate challenge of grit and persistence.
Have you ever experienced the pleasure of trimming a pug's (or any reluctant dog's / animal's) nails?
Well, this 2nd year veterinary student, Roberta who's studying at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University sure can relate!
Check out her hysterical synopsis of trimming a pug's nails on the next page:

My Pugsley does this. I feel very bad for him and try to make it less dramatic but to no avail. He hates it and it winds him up to hyperventilating.

Too funny! Bella is actually held on to on an exam table while a vet or tech tried to trim her nails. She squirms a lot but her evil twin doesn’t emerge. Styptic powder is usually all over everything by the time the trim is finished.
