Cuteness overload warning!

It’s no secret that even a routine visit to the vet can be a pretty scary thing for a pup — especially when there are shots involved.

But this particular doctor, named André Santos, has found an adorable way of making the whole experience something they actually enjoy.




Santos runs a veterinary clinic in Portugal, where he's gained quite a reputation for his fun-loving approach to keeping pets both healthy and happy at the same time.

When a furry patient comes into his clinic to receive a vaccine, Santos doesn't just approach them carrying that dreaded needle. Instead, he makes a little game of things, using positive reinforcement in the form of playtime and treats, leaving pets totally unaware that they've been given a shot at all.

And often, there's even dancing involved.




Rather than leaving dogs feeling a little traumatized, getting a shot from Santos might actually be the highlight of their day.




"Whenever we do a procedure, we should give a positive treat," Santos said.

This approach might seem a little unconventional, but Santos's patients certainly love him for it.




In the end, the way Santos treats his patients with gentleness and care not only takes the stress and anxiety out of one "scary" trip to the vet, but it makes all future visits something they might actually look forward to.

And as someone who truly cares about pets' health, that's what matters most.

"Best. Job. Ever," Santos said.

Reminds me of the lady who put jam on her forehead as a way to distract her dog while trimming their claws.

Dogs still don’t like vets lol even with cool dancing vets.

You’re grounded, and no more stuffed animals... you have too many, with holes in all of them. What’s that about, baby bear?

Even as someone who works with pussy, you know he's getting so much of it out of work as well. That combination of animal lover, personality, body and smile; hell he's nearly won me over.

My dog has to be the only dog in existence that is happy to go visit the doctor andhe just doesn't give a fuck, he continue to lick the doctor's face while being vaccinated.

 

[Mohonky]

Actually my dog doesn't care about needles; which is good, because he's diabetic, so he gets a needle every morning and night. He gets excited when the needle comes out because it means food time to him.

 

[MudoSkills]

Does he also do this with euthanasia?

LOL, dogs. Most corruptible species on the planet, just flash some food and you’re free to do them anything you like.
