Isn't this bad for the dog? I'm confused. What do you think?

I'm so glad that everyone is agreeing with me. Poor pups.

Answer 1

I think its a bit silly and unnecessary. If you don't like the colour of fur that your dog has, then you should have gotten a stuffed animal instead. Luckily, I have a chinese crested, so fur dying isn't much of an issue :)

Answer 2

If the dye is specifically made for dogs then no it probably wouldn't hurt them. However that is WRONG. Here I was thinking that people were semi-intelligent and then you find those pictures. Blegh. Dying a dog "pretty" colors can cause their fur to stain, dry their skin, damage their eyes and I'm sure chemical burns aren't unheard of. Next time you are in a store read the warnings on human hair dye. Those poor dogs.

Answer 3

Well, it looks pretty silly, but we don't know what they are doing it for or how they are doing it...so I don't think it's right to judge. They could be doing it for a charitable or fun event. It's certainly better than dressing a dog up where the clothing can be restricting. The dogs have no idea they are a different color and they are at least spending time with the owners they love. I personally wouldn't do it, but I don't see what the big deal is.

Answer 4

I'm sure it can't be that good for the dog's skin and coat. I would never do that to a dog anyways. I think it's pretty ridiculous and unnecessary and I think people should just let dogs be dogs, not fashion accessories, but dogs.

Answer 5

Maybe that's why dogs attack their owners? It's bizzard to dye your pet's coat. There are quite a bit of posts here to ask about dying their dogs hair. At least the dogs are easily to be noticed, but personally, I think it's silly and nonsense to do it to your dog.

Answer 6

I think it's absolutely asinine, BUT as long as it is safe and doesn't hurt the dog or irritate the skin, then there are far worse things you could do. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's abusive or anything, but it is quite silly.
Needless to say, I would never do it to my dog. Maybe those dogs are in the witness protection program and need to be in disguise!

Answer 7

lots of the beggars interior the streets have beards. This made human beings to have a ordinary thought that persons with beards could be as grimy as a beggar. yet you are able to coach it incorrect with your behaviors. forget approximately with reference to the persons who think of you're grimy, do not replace your originality for others. A time will come while human beings comprehend that their questioning became incorrect approximately you.

Answer 8

If it's done with safe dye, like food coloring or something like that, what does it hurt? The dog doesn't care that it's green, or pink, or purple, so long as it's beloved master is paying attention to it, seeing to it's needs, and giving it attention. I knew a kid when I was in 4-H that dyed her horse blue for a costume class....she was Paul Bunyan, and her horse was Babe the blue ox. Took him in, showed him, took him out and washed that blue right out of his hair. Didn't hurt him a bit, and he didn't seem the least bit concerned that he looked a little "blue". Personally, I think it's silly, and a waste of $$$, but as far as being harmful.....I really don't think so.

Answer 9

Hi Lucy ♫, I don't think this is confusing. I think it is obviously stupid.

Behaviour by eccentric people who probably love their dogs as much as most of us but who themselves are confused.

In Italy it is illegal for a grooming parlour to turn out a dog like this.

Answer 10

I don't get it. Dogs aren't supposed to be pink, green or blue. It's abnormal.

I also don't think dogs should be fashion accessories.
