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:

I’m really lucky mine is so well behaved. He loves going and groomer said he’s the easiest pug she’s ever done

I relate all to well! I worked as a kennel tech at a vet and would hold dogs for nail trims. Pugs are the hardest to get a good hold on because of their roly poly bodies!

It’s all true! We have to give ours a pill to relax him because he works himself up into a full blown anxiety attack …

I think she was talking about my pug! He would throw a fit so bad that he’d be put on oxygen for turning blue.

I didn’t realize this was a pug thing!. I have a 13 year old pug. Sweet as can be, but was asked by 3 didn’t places not to be bring her back for nail trimmings. She behaved exactly like the pug in the video.

Dachshunds are worse. We can’t do it, groomers can’t do it. We have to take them to the vet.
