A pampered pit bull has warmed hearts online for his obvious love of being groomed, as he contently accepts his fur being brushed, his nails cut and even his paws moisturized.

Pit bull Sebastian has captured the hearts of millions online with over 3.5 million followers, but it's his intense grooming routine that has gone viral this time.

With over 63 million views, Sebastian gets made over head to paw by his owners and he seems to have absolutely no issue with it: something that is praised by, among others, fellow dog owners.

The video, shared to TikTok on August 30, acts as a "reminder, for you to take a little time to take care of yourself," according to the caption. Sebastian's routine begins with ear plugs, which he lets be put in like a "good boy."

Shampoo is then thoroughly rubbed into his fur, garnering no barks or rejection from Sebastian who actually appears to be loving it all, even the water. After this, he gets his teeth cleaned using two different brushes, in a bid to get his teeth squeaky-clean.

He is towel dried with his ears flapping, before being put into a hoodie to dry. Finally, Sebastian gets the ultimate spa treatment: a fur coat blow-dry, followed by a nail trim and ear cleaning.

The pet grooming industry is a booming one with a survey by Joybird finding that 35 percent of pet owners take their pet to the groomers or pet spa once every month. The grooming industry is also valued at $10.9 billion in the U.S.

Seemingly though, Sebastian enjoys his at-home grooming session so much that the intervention of professionals isn't as necessary for him as it is for other pooches.

Sebastian's owners describe him as an "antidepressant for humans" and the comments seem to bear that out.

"Dog cleaning asmr is added to my Spotify playlist," joked one user.

"INCREDIBLE!! My wish is that every dog on the planet could be loved and treated so wonderfully!!," added another.

"My pit won't let me do his nails, won't go in the tub and has to be tied up outside to bathe. He's such a big baby," compared a fellow dog owner.

Sebastian's love for being bathed is rare but he's certainly not the only one to enjoy a bit of self-care. A Labrador named Nutmeg went viral this month too for her apparent love for the bath, with the owner joking that she's unable to run a bath without closing the bathroom door, as the dog simply invites herself into the tub too. The video showed the dog ankle-deep in the water she had hijacked from her owner.
