A TikTok video by @maggiemcclurkin is a great example of the variety dogs can show. Although you might think her Golden Retrievers would behave the same, they are all unique and just like us.
In this instance, she must give medication to both of her animals. They respond in utterly different ways. What do you think about your pet after reading these responses?
@maggiemcclurkinWhat a difference it makes between our two dogs, when they take their medicine. #goldenretriever #goldenretrieverlife #dogsoftiktok #doggo@Abigail Moore ♬ Funny Song – Cavendish Music
LMAO! We hope that our dog will look more like the original but we know it won’t be possible. Most dogs, we’d wager, look like the second dog in this video. When something isn’t genuinely food, they somehow just know. They won’t need to take any medication, so they’ll fight you with all their might. We’d say it kind of sounds like kids!
“As soon as I saw their ears I knew which one was going to be trouble,” commented @jovetancourt91. HA! It’s so true! The owner of the medicine wanted his ears perked up all the time. It didn’t matter what was in the owner’s hands. He would eat it no matter what! It was so delicious that he demanded more. @silverbeauty24 added, “I love how the first dog was about to eat it out of the second dog’s mouth.” SAME!
Perhaps you should try @laurenkosler43’s advice if your dog is like the second one that refused to take the medication. What a brilliant suggestion: “Dip it in peanut butter!!!! Works every time!” That’s brilliant! You best believe we’ll be trying that next time we need to give our fur baby medicine.
