Think about it. If you would put it on your head, what's the worst it could to to your dog?
It's possible he could be allergic. Before you do a full dye job, rub some dye on the inside of his thigh, where the fur is thin, and see if he has any reaction after a few days. Of course, make sure you rinse it well so he won't lick up the dye.
If nothing happens, go nuts, but only if your dog doesn't mind being bathed. Rinse thoroughly, and be prepared for him to shake himself and get hair dye all over you and your bathroom ceiling.

I have never done it, but its done all the time to show dogs! Its something that show dog people won't admit to, and something that the judge can't prove because human hair dye doesn't come off on the judge's hand in the ring so the judge can't prove it. So many dogs are dyed for the show ring that in some popular breeds, a dog that isn't dyed seems out of place. Check the pictures of the German Shepherds at the Sieger Show sometime and notice how so many have black on their saddles that drop straight down and then go from front to back in a perfectly straight horizontal line! Some of those dogs look like they were all spray painted with the same pattern! And its interesting when occasionally one of those dogs appears later in a photo as an old dog when it isn't being shown, then the difference between the dogs natural coat and how he was presented in show becomes obvious. In some breeds that require a solid black nose, such as some of the white breeds like the Maltese, ppl tattoo black ink on the noses if the noses aren't solid black. Such tricks are and have been common ever since humans exhibited animals in competition, and such things are done all the time in competition shows, whether it be horse, dog,, rabbit or other creatures.

Yes I did use hair dye on my dog, I got the dye from a local hairdresser and made sure that is was safe for them. I dyed my dogs ears and tail pink, and nothing appeared to have happened on the spot, only a couple of weeks after she developed and enormouse lump on her right shoulder (could have been from the dye and cound have not, I dont remember putting dye on her shoulder, in the first place). However it is stronlgy recommened that you avovid contact with your dogs skin as much as possible!!!!

Do not use regular peoples hair dye !!!! Those are chemicals that could burn and hurt an animal... We used to dye our poodles pink and blue and green ect. with a food coloring... Works, is cute and does not hurt them at all.

Why the hell would you want to dye your dog's hair? Please don't abuse the animal like that. You might want to alter your appearance but that doesn't mean your dog does.
