People dye their dogs different colors all the time, ask any big show groomer. There are contests all over the states for groomers who have dyed their dogs and cut their coats into all sorts of shapes etc. This is an everyday occurance. It's not going to hurt the dog. Most people use food coloring. We have people brings poodles in all the time with their coats dyed, even cats will come in with mohawks. I can understand if you were using something unsafe, but food coloring isn't going to do anything. I have no problem with a person dying the coat of their pet. IMO, they should go fine people who are really breaking the laws. Like people starving or beating their pets!
