No, I’m Not Kidding - 15 Photos Of Dogs With Dye Jobs.
I wish I was. Some people feel compelled to dye their dogs. I can’t say that I understand this. Spare me the “I need my dog to match my outfit, couch, car” argument. It’s a DOG - not an accessory. Maybe, just MAYBE if it is Halloween, I might give you a pass, but only then…..
Multicolored Papillon:
There is no rhyme or reason to the color scheme on this Papillon.

The 4th pic down….. (Blue Poodle)… looks like the dog is saying:
“Please kill me. Kill me now. End my suffering.”

LOL at the winking dog.

Meh. The introduction to this post is pretty bad. It makes it sound like this is a political thing. What’s with the self righteous indignation? People don’t dye their dogs to match things, they dye them for events, or for fun.
Do you even own a dog? The dog doesn’t give a crap that its fur is any color. It’s happy to be somewhere with its owner. All those dogs look happy.

Maybe it’s me, but I don’t see the problem in any of this. If the dog loves a bath, it’s going to love a dye job. If it loves attention, then it is going to get lots of it.
I’ll agree that it may not be for every dog but it sure isn’t hurting anything. The dog has no idea that it is dyed (it can’t even see the colors!) so I really don’t see a problem other than it being tacky.

I want that pink dog! He’s so cute! Though I like it i think this could be dangerous to your dog’s health.
When I was a kid I actually hand-painted my dog. I added black spots so he’d look like a Dalmatian…he licked the paint and he died…

All this poodle painting, and no mention of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Poodle?

I really hope those are vegetable dyes… or else that is just inhumane on top of being utterly embarrassing.
May 14th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
That “Pride” dog was in Cleveland 2007. I took a similar pic. Couldn’t believe that poor dog was subjected to that.
May 14th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Hey Vid (#1),
They are *all* saying that.
May 14th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
The 4th one down, the blue one, isn’t a poodle. The tail hair is straight, it’s likely a havanese or a cocka-poo
May 14th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
I sure hope that crap is non-toxic. Dogs lick their hair a hell of a lot more than people do.
May 14th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Well, most people, at least.
May 20th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Dogs are not fashion accesories!!! If you love your dog you will love it the way it is, like this you torture the poor puppy… People are such idiots!!!

How do you even come up with this? I know someone who decided to paint her bathtub back in the 80’s purple. I guess it wasn’t dry. She fills it up with water. Her White cat jumps in. A thus a purple cat for 6 months.

I love the pekingnese lion♥♥♥
Cuteee!
August 19th, 2008 at 9:17 am
they are all adorable….in general (not necessarily with dye)
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:48 pm
oh my gosh I want the dog with the purple and black rocker look that is so awesome I wish I could do that to my dog!
September 29th, 2008 at 4:30 pm

I think that these dogs (well, most of them) look so cute! I can’t wait to dye my little terri-poos!
Julia if you want to dye your dalmation than just get some food dye (it is edible and safe for both of you!) You can mix the dye in a spray bottle and spray him or just put it in the bath tub and put him in!

I buy my dog dye at petedge.com. The dye for some of you that are concerned is made with vegetable dye. It is completely safe and non-toxic. I do pet therapy with my dogs and patients get a good laugh when my pink Chihuahua comes prancing in the room in her dresses. She loves the attention she gets from young and old people when she is dyed pink. Definate thing you should know..WEAR GLOVES when you do it. I didn’t the first time and my hands were pink for a few days lol. Also one small container of dye from that site makes 2 very pink good coverage applications on my 7lb Chihuahua so if your dog is bigger be advised. If your interested you can also look at local pet salons..this is the newest fad so many have gotten into providing the service at a descent price. I’ll be doing that from now on..it saves the clean up and mess.

What the-… Is that dog wearing a thong?! O_o
Weird… lol I put coats and boots on my dog in the winter because she’s wimpy about the cold when it gets below -20C. But a thong? Seriously…
January 12th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
The thong dog took it too far, however the rest of them are actually quite adorable.
His/hers <3
Laine on the road, very cute
80’s hahaa

I don’t understand why people get so upset over what other people do to their pets. Dyeing your dog is totally harmless, and some people just think it’s cute. You admit you became “agitated” over these pictures. Chill out; it isn’t hurting anyone (except people like you, who have nothing to do with it whatsoever). Getting emotionally involved in the benign activities of others is a waste of energy.
Maria, this is in no way “torture”; if anything, an idiot in this case is someone who judges other people based on information they made up themselves (eg, calling a harmless practice torture and then calling people idiots for doing it).

Hahahahah.
We like the dog flashing everyone in the thong.
Prettttty funny.

The dogs probably love the attention they get after wards. My mom’s poodle patiently tried on clothes for us at a store and pranced happily in them. She gets a lot more attention with clothes on and is really cheerful when she wears them. Dyeing, like dog clothes, can be fun for everyone. As long as the dye is not toxic, there is no harm.

Very nice post, I share the same position about this.
April 7th, 2009 at 8:31 am
These dogs look happy, well fed and obviously loved by someone who took the time to fancy them up.
Anyone looking for an injustice to right should go straight to almost any website regarding Haiti and the starving, sick, homeless children there. They are just 600 miles off the coast of Florida. There, now you have a real cause to do something about!

I have a black/Tan Pomeranian and I would like the tan t6o be darker on his tail and pants.
How do I make it darker
April 20th, 2009 at 8:34 am

April 22nd, 2009 at 4:43 am
yes it is a vegetable dye and the dogs we do absolutly love the attention they get when people see them its done for show and fun you can get it done at any good groomer but the best i know is in woollara they are fantastic there start thinking outside the square and have some fun the dogs do !!!!
April 27th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
I gave my dog a pink mohawk for a march of dimes event and he absolutely loved all the attention he got. He had people petting him and taking pictures, he couldn’t have been happier. I see nothing wrong with dying your dog as long as its safe for them. Its just some harmless fun
May 22nd, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Love the punk rock dog. Can’t wait to dye little designs into Kage(my Belgian Shep)
May 28th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
People should really comment on what they know about. Please stop the hating and making negative comments about unique people and individuality. I love my dog to death and yes, he has punk rocker blue hair (just on the top of his head). I used completely safe and dog-edible kool aid to dye his hair. There are also many products out there that are safe for dogs. I did it because he looks cool, not to match my outfit. People give him tons of attention which he enjoys and he loves to be bathed and groomed. So what’s the harm in that? My advice to humans and canines alike… live free and happy!!
