  • It would have been good to see him actually inject the dog.

  • What a nice comment, Delivererx. I don't know why some people have to be so rude. This vet and all the people involved took the time to help caring pet owners who are probably very upset about having to give their pet shots, usually twice a day if they have diabetes. I know I still hate having to give my poor dog shots and it's been ten months, but I looked at this video again just to make sure I'm doing it correctly. I can't stand to think the shots might hurt my dog.TRY to be nice, Delivererx.

  • I go 2 vet before for dog injection and none of them shot like that .. so now what ??

  • Awww what a good doggie!

  • Thank you so much for posting this video!!!! I recently found out that my dog is diabetic, and I was scared out of my mind about giving him needles!!!! Now not so much! Thank you again!!!!!

  • wow the vet always gives it in a muscle. no wonder my puppy hates the vet!

  • I've followed this advice for giving shots on my particularly furry breed of dog (lab-husky), but I've seen him tense up a little and even whine ever so slightly when the shot was administered. Could I be doing something wrong?

  • how far in do i put the needle

  • THANK U!!

    I have to give my pitbull an injection today (now).

    He ate my shoe and now hes throwing up!!!

    ioooooo:)

  • Dogs also have bad diets too. greatlif4pets grain and potato free is a very good dog food. I have been feeding him that ,and I haven't even given him that flea, and tick stuff, and I have not had a flea problem a all,and minimal tick problems too. He sleeps with me. He has his testicles too,and he gets satisfied by me like I would like to be satisfied. zoophile net, zoosexuality is just sex, and should be decriminalized. Humans are vain human animals needing salvation to love their neighbor.

  • Don't give a dog or a human a shot. Those warlocks put things in shots a taxidermist would use on a trophy hanging on a wall or in a rug In a living thing is criminal. Threatening dogs with altering for non compliance is more evidence of evil. Mercury is bad, but formaldehyde? The zoo is outraged by abuse of non human animals by callous humans. Sly white coats lie compulsively Proverbs 12:10 KJV righteous [man] regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked [are] cruel.

  • Please post for an IV shot! I need to get ready for vet school!
