I voted it can look pretty cool but I would rather keep it natural. Hillary Duff put a highlight on her dogs tail :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Personally I think it looks silly and I'd never do it. An animal is an animal, not some accessory to change the color of

I agree except it does look silly in a cool kind of way :) I would never do it though :rolleyes:

If it's safe I say go for it! My dog actually loves getting attention from everyone at the park, so I always considered using some sort of non toxic dye on his white fur. :) I used to color him with sidewalk chalk when I was young :p

As long as the animal likes attention, I have no problem with it! As long as its safe, of course.
I've dyed my poor cat before^^, he was a wonderful pink color. It was animal-safe, and he loves baths, so I thought I would give it a try on him. He didn't mind it one bit, but he doesn't go out into public, so he didn't get any special attention from it. Its all gone now, though.
Frisk has been lightly dyed green before. He loves public attention, so I knew he wouldn't mind. On walks, he either got people coming up to him petting him and all (ie being his "fans" ;)) or extremely weird looks. :D
I would NEVER dye Ethan, though. Just being in public makes him scared, getting too much attention from strangers makes him seem so scared that he looks like he's about to wet himself. :o

If it is safe and not harming the animal in any way, shape, or form.. and the animal seems to enjoy it... why not??

i rather keep my pets natural. i've seen colored poodles, bichon, silkie chickens, and geese. i don't see anything wrong with it, but i just wouldn't take the time to do it.

I have no problem with it if your animal doesn't mine and it is safe coloring.But i like my animals the colors there are.

I think it's silly and I would never color one of my dogs. Once when I was walking on a NAMI walk I saw a dog with a flower on it, someone had put it on with paint, I guess, so it looked like she had a bit flower on her back. I thought it was just stupid. An animal has a colour and I would perfer not changing it.

Why bother changing their colours? Animals are already beautiful with the colours they were born with IMO.

I woulden't color my animals. As long as it's safe, though, I don't have a problem with it. At auctions near easter you will see chicks that were dyed different colors. They end up dyeing because of it. :mad: :(

I remember when my sister-in-law was about 14 (before she was my S-I-L) and she loved to color her dogs hair. Her dog was mostly black with a little bit of white here and there. She loved to color the white parts different colors. I remember the white mostly being colored purple.

I don't have a problem with it at all. I might even do just that on special occasions. But I would never make it permanant or anything. Just for a day or two. If it's safe for the animal I wouldn't really care. :D
