This terrified pet dog started shaking after recognising that he was going to the vets.

Owner Nong Kullanit loaded the one-year-old Thai ridgeback into the front seat of her car in Ayutthaya, central Thailand on Monday (26/08) afternoon.

But midway through the journey the pooch, named Yon, seemed to recognise the route from previous visits and began shaking.

The owner is heard saying in the video ''come on boy, are you afraid? Because you are so stubborn, I didn't tell you before that we were going to the vets''.

Nong Kullanit said that Yon had been to the vets before for a blood test from a previous illness and she believes he remembers the painful experience.

This time he was having a check-up, which also involved a blood test, to monitor his progress.

The dog owner said: ''My dog has been sick before. The vets took his blood with a needle. He didn't like it and when he knew we were going to the vets he was scared.

''He was fine when he started the journey but then he recognised where we were going he started shaking. I felt sorry for him but visiting the vets is for his benefit.''
