Ronald Vaughn, DVM, didn’t think much of it when the Dallas-based promoter of Peticure asked him to appear in a commercial for the product, which trims nails on dogs and cats. He didn’t even ask to be paid.
"I told them that if they could show up at the office, I could give them 15 minutes," says Vaughn, who owns Rutherford Animal Clinic across the street from Fair Park. "We had used, and I liked it, so when they asked if I would do it, I said yes."
What Vaughan wasn’t prepared for was the product’s success and the commercials that ran on various cable channels, including BBC America. If they haven’t made him a star, they have brought a lot of attention his way. "Oh my gosh, it has been the freakiest thing in the world," he says, "the number of people who have seen this thing."
