I don’t know many dogs that enjoy going to the vet<\/a>. My canine cuties dread their yearly visits and start shaking as soon as we hit the parking lot. Yet some fearless fur babies take those exams and vaccine updates in their stride.<\/p>\n Poppy the Dalmatian<\/a> puppy was one cool customer during her recent vet appointment and looked like she was just hanging out at her favorite watering hole.<\/p>\n In the TikTok from @poppy.littledalmatian, the pretty pooch strolled around the exam room while she waited for the doctor to come in. Poppy was as cool as a cucumber and didn’t seem distracted or concerned about the sterile white walls, examining table, or medical tools that were in full view. To the darling Dalmatian, it looked like it was just another outing.<\/p>\n Poppy decided to lie down under the exam table and put her arm up in a very relaxed pose. She had the stance of someone at a local bar or concert venue, just chilling and enjoying some zen vibes.<\/p>\n “Acting cool at the vet,” the onscreen text read.<\/p>\n Followers got a kick out of Poppy’s cavalier attitude and guessed at what may have been going through her mind.<\/p>\n “Yeah bro, not my first time here,” one remarked.<\/p>\n “She\u2019s like ‘yeah I get this on the regular’,\u201c another commented.<\/p>\n “Now THAT’S a dog that knows their worth,” a follower pointed out.<\/p>\n “Just here for my shots \u2014 no biggie,” someone joked.<\/p>\n It’s common for dogs to be fearful during a vet visit. Reasons for their anxiety<\/a> include past stressful experiences, having to be around other nervous dogs in the waiting room, and the different smells and sounds of a busy vet’s office.<\/p>\n Related: 8 Golden Retriever Puppies Go to the Vet and the Cutest Chaos Results<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The examination itself can also be scary for some dogs. Having to be poked and prodded by a person they rarely see is understandably uncomfortable.<\/p>\n There are ways to expend that nervous energy before your dog’s appointment, such as taking them for a long walk, bringing a favorite toy, having treats on hand for positive reinforcement, or medication if your canine is extremely distressed.<\/p>\n For Poppy, her vet visit seemed like just another day at the office.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/a><\/strong>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade Pets<\/a> on Apr 24, 2026, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
