Instructions
Step 1
Some people consider a dog's color change to be cruel. Fortunately, this process will not cause your pet any discomfort. Some pet owners follow fashion trends closely and try to groom their dog. Painting for an animal is similar to the usual bathing. Many people are delighted with the unusual color of the dog's coat, and the animals themselves like special attention and demand. For pets, this procedure is a kind of self-affirmation.
Step 2
To paint a dog, you need to purchase special safe dyes that will not harm its coat and skin. There are two types of dyes. The first is designed to strengthen the coat and give it a balanced color and is used in preparation for exhibitions. The second type of dyes is used to give a trendy color.
Step 3
It must be remembered that puppies must be over 12 weeks of age to be safely stained. If you are in doubt about your pet painting skills, then consult a dog groomer. When contacting staining specialists, you should ask them for a license to carry out the corresponding procedures in order to be sure of the final result.
Step 4
It is not worth painting dogs with products intended for humans. This can lead to adverse consequences. Dogs' skin is very sensitive to all hair dyes and using them can cause itching, dandruff, baldness, and blistering in the dog.
Step 5
Many people prefer to dye their pets with food coloring, as it is absolutely safe for the coat. Blue, red and green are best suited for painting a dog because they paint over the natural color more effectively.
Step 6
The painting process should start with bathing the dog. This will allow you to evenly color your pet and fix the color for a long time. Next, dry the dog a little with a towel, but the coat should remain wet. You need to fix the pet in one place and use gloves. Protect the animal from getting paint in the eyes.
Step 7
It is necessary to apply the paint from the roots of the hair to the ends. Longer coat requires more dye. Excess water and excess paint must be removed using a sponge. Then dry the dog's coat thoroughly with a hair dryer. The food coloring retains its color for 1 to 2 weeks.
