Vanessa De Prophetis runs Perfect Pooches from her home in Niagara Falls, Canada, and regularly shares clips of her clients to her YouTube account, @girlwithedogs. She also uploads their antics to her TikTok account (which has the same name), with some of her most popular videos amassing 27 million views.

She’s groomed breeds that include chow chows, pit bulls, Dobermans, bulldogs and Newfoundlands, as well as the ever-popular Pomeranians, goldendoodles and Labradors. She even grooms cats and one dog’s emotional support rat.

After sharing so many videos from her vantage point, she decided to swap places with her four-legged friends and do imitations, after repeated calls from her fans.

She told Newsweek: “Over the years of grooming dogs, I’ve learned that many of the same breeds behave the same way, and I knew a lot of people would find it relatable.

“One of the reasons I started my channel was to make people laugh, and there is no better way to do that than to make fun of yourself. Putting myself in an embarrassing position put a smile on a lot of people’s faces. I got many requests for this type of content which is what gave me the idea to do it,” she said.

Grooming is an important ritual for any dog owner, and the American Kennel Club (AKC) says it’s a good idea to let a professional take charge.

While owners may do this task at home to save time and money, “professional groomers have all the right tools to get your dog looking his best, from different kinds of clippers and rounded scissors to an adjustable grooming table. They’re equipped with nontoxic, gentle shampoos for dogs with skin allergies or irritations, or those with fleas,” the AKC website says.

It continued: “Many groomers also know how to groom for breed show cuts, which requires precise attention to detail and knowledge of the specific breed requirements. Different coats require different brushes—and groomers have them. The more dead hair they remove from your dog, the less you’ll find on your living room rug.”

A dog grooming session usually means the pet will be brushed, bathed and dried, with nails clipped and coats de-matted, the AKC says. Groomers even brush the pet’s teeth and check the ears for signs of infection.

De Prophetis’ latest video features her imitating some of the more notable breeds she’s had the pleasure of grooming, including shih tzus, huskies, golden retrievers, poodles, doodles, cocker spaniels and Yorkshire terriers.

The on-screen caption reads: “Pretending to be dogs at the grooming salon.”

While playing the role, De Prophetis has a leash and a hood worn by the dogs to protect their ears while they are being blow-dried.

First up, she snaps and tries to bite the hair dryer, before letting out a signature shih tzu yap and lunging at another groomer trying to clip her nails.

As a golden retriever, she tries to climb some stairs before falling and lying splayed on the floor. She then needs to be picked up.

She imitates a husky’s shriek as she dodges the shower head while in the bath, then resists getting her paws shaved as a poodle.

With her hair in pigtails, she gets a blow-dry while panting as a cocker spaniel. As a cavalier, she lets out a high-pitched yip while her hair is being brushed.

De Prophetis mimics a doodle dodging a vacuum cleaner’s nozzle and kicks out while her colleague tries to shave her feet. Finally, she shivers in the bathtub with wet hair, embodying a Yorkshire terrier.

“The most embarrassing thing I’ve ever done,” she captioned the clip, which has racked up more than 900,000 views since being posted on Sunday.

Her fans love the performances. GetBaked wrote: “I laughed so hard. Lol Thank you for your service.”

Nickivb said: “The poodle is so accurate.” M raved: “This is Oscar level commitment right here.”

Becca wrote: “The COMMITMENT.” Nova the Poodle added: “Omg every single one of these is so accurate.”
