How can I dye my dog pink with food coloring?

I don't want to use human hair dye because it's dangerous to dogs. My dog has these white patches on her and it would look adorable. If they where pink. Plus I'm bored. I want something easy to wash out though. What should I use? Oh and none of the How could you be so mean blah blah blah. Or dogs aren't ornaments. I do CARE for my dog and she is happy and healthy thank you. She doesn't care if her fur is pink!

How can I dye my dog pink with food coloring?

Okay, let me help you with this...

I believe I read something... a link of sorts... on www.petgroomerforums.com regarding this. Actually you can post this same question and they will guide you step by step through the process. That website is generally focused for pet/dog/cat groomers but anyone can go there for info about their pets. I know there's a product called "Blo-pens" where you can do designs on your dog's fur.

Oh, and I don't think you're mean at all !!

Heck, if you went to some of the grooming seminars i've been to you'd see some pretty wacked out looking things !!

They actually have contests on these kinds of things... sculpting and coloring your dog.

I think it's COOL that you want to do this !!

Post pics and/or message me and send me a pic when you figure it all out, okay??

Good luck !!

OK the other day my 2 year old accidently dropped koolaid on our white dog. And it really did make his fur pink!!! I would use koolaid. Don't use food coloring though it's really hard to get off of anything especially hands and tables and stuff. So I can't imagine that it would wash out easy. But the koolaid does.

How can I dye my dog pink with food coloring?

Maybe you could try using kool-aid mix. I've heard of people using it on their own hair. If i remember right, you get the red kind and mix it with conditioner and leave it on somewhere around 20 mins, then rinse it off with warm water.....can get messy so you may want to do it outside.

And it's not going to hurt the dog, and it's not going to make the dog embarrased or anything. I think locking one up in a crate most of it's life is alot worse. Some people are know it alls...just ignore their rude comments. It just makes them feel better about themselves to tell people how to live their lives. I bet alot of these people that say it's torture don't mind painting their dogs nails or making it wear clothes. OR LOCKING IT UP

How can I dye my dog pink with food coloring?

I would recommend using a gel-based food coloring and dissolving it in some water. I would also recommend using a fine-toothed comb or flea comb to apply the coloring...especially if you are only dying a specific area.

I own white german shepherds and while most of the time they are just white dogs (excluding their forays into mud puddles) I have occasionally dyed them for fun. When the local college team went all the way to the final game in March madness my female went orange and blue. For Independence Day one year my female got a blue star over one eye and a red ear and last year my male got a big flag on his right side. I used food coloring for all of my dye jobs and my dogs were not put off by it in the least. Two hours of "petting" and "Mom's" undivided attention...sign me up!

I will warn you however that food coloring comes of VERY easily when it is wet and it takes quite a while to dry. If you aren't careful it will be all over EVERYTHING...the floor, your hands, furniture, etc. The color also fades pretty quickly (of course, with pink this is not as big a deal as with blue and red and orange). And while it does wash out fairly easily, there will probably be tinges of color for days or even weeks (especially with a red-based color like pink).
