I've actually purchased some professional dog dye and absolutely plan to try it out on Thor at some point.
To anyone who thinks it's wrong to dye your dog, I would point out that plenty of other people think it's wrong to dress up dogs... and we know how wrong THEY are, don't we?  |
I'm not sure anyone said it's wrong, just that they didn't like it, or it looks stupid. While I think certain clothing looks adorable on certain dogs, I don't think it looks cute on all dogs; I still don't like to see big dogs in clothing, unless it's a Halloween contest.
Let's not forget that clothing besides being cute is functional, so that's partly why it's popular, smaller breeds have a harder time regulating body temperature and clothing helps with this. Certain dogs look all right with hair coloring, the show,
Groomer Has It, occasionally colored a dog, but it's just not a look I find appealing, and if it's owner wants to do it, fine, but they have to understand that some of us will think it looks stupid. While it may be safe, I see no reason to introduce something that could cause allergies, or skin problems, and yet has no real benefit. If it's something that someone really likes, though, I'd say go for it, just don't expect everyone else to like it too. I dress Joey first for him, then for myself, I don't really care if other like it or not. I'm sure some think he looks stupid.
