Shadow with spots

Shadow is almost a year old and maybe the chocolate coat is just a bit too plain. What do you think of a chocolate lab dyed purple with white spots? Do you think he’ll be all the rage on the next trip to the dog park?

Dog Dying

Dog dying has become a growing trend in certain parts of the world. Ex-Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day has recently been in the news with her Maltese, Ginger dyed pink, green, and orange. According to Aubrey, she does the dye job herself with foils and paint.

The Perez Hilton site also gave their opinion on the pup’s new colors.
Here are some great examples of dye jobs from Flickr.

The dogs can come in a wide range of colors.

According to the comment on Flickr, this dog was even died pink with Koolade.

Is it safe?

The process of dying your dog may cause them stress and the dyes can sometimes irritate their skin. It is important that you purchase dies that are made specifically for dogs and not those for humans.

I found these sites online that offer a wide variety of colors.

By the way, I was just kidding about Shadow’s dye job. Its amazing what you can do with a graphics editor these days. The only change in Shadow’s beautiful brown coat will be when he turns gray like me.
