Safety should always be the first question that arises; is it safe to dye a dog’s fur, and how should it be done to ensure safety? With proper products and application, yes it is safe to dye a dog’s fur! As to how to ensure safety, it may seem far less fun, but taking your dog to a professional groomer with experience in coloring pets is highly advisable. Not only will a trained professional do a better job on the whole, they have been taught how to safely apply the product, are familiar with the products, and have the proper equipment to keep your dog safe during the process

However, if you wish to color your pet at home there are a few things you should keep in mind; you run a large risk of dying your towels, carpet, walls, ceiling, clothing, and yourself when your dog shakes off, use no product containing bleach, ammonia, or other harsh chemicals, and you should never allow your pet to ingest any grooming product regardless of how pet friendly it is

There are surprisingly few hair dyes made specifically for dogs, and many of them are available only in Europe or in limited colors Top Performance’s line of fifteen colors is, by far, the easiest to find and has the most color variety. Additionally, its gel formula makes application easy, it is non-toxic, and is typically recommended by both veterinarians and groomers alike. Top Performance also sells a kit of tools specifically for dying your dog, including clips, combs,  and even a mixing bowl! The next most readily available brand is Dyex, which comes in fewer colors but has been known to last up to six months depending upon the dog’s coat type and color. Dyex is a bit more difficult to find, though used by many professionals, and is more costly.

If you are coloring your dog for a holiday like Halloween and don’t want long lasting color, Pet Head  by Bed  Head makes a temporary dye that is perfect for use in simple dye jobs such as coloring only the tail or spiking the dog’s hair into a punk style Mohawk. A good way to select a safe, quality product  is to see if it has met the standards of the Personal Care Products Council, or P.C.P.C. (previously known as the Cosmetic, Toiletry and  Fragrance Association or C.T.F.A), which sets safety standards and recommends select pet products

But he can not be more wrong than this, since this type of behavior has nothing to do with aggressiveness in its positive meaning (that of protecting the owner). This dog owner considers that his pet dog is a tough breed and those signs of growling, hair rising and lip curling are the result of a desired feature in his dog’s state of mind.

The fact is that this dog is only communicating something through the mean of his body language and this story is far from proving aggressiveness. A dog who is supposed to protect should show a lot of confidence and courage while his mind is strong enough to understand that there would be a human to whom he must engage the fight against. But what can this dog’s body language signify?

* Growling – this is a manifestation of a dog that in movies is added more noise for you to hear it as a sign that a dog starts attacking the bad guy. But in real life the growling is nothing but a sign of weakness and the dog won’t engage at all in a fight when manifesting like this. It is a definite sign that the dog is under pressure and very unsure of his whereabouts.

* Hair raised – this is another sign of stressful moment for the dog. His whereabouts make him feel nervous and starts sensing an uncomfortable feeling of fear.

* Curling his lip – this is a manifestation of perceiving something around that is threatening to him. This is because the dog wasn’t used to socializing and in case you want to own a dog for protection is no good to own one who sees everything around in threatening images. He won’t ever be able to offer that desired protection to you.

With these dogs manifesting these signs, you should know that they describe themselves as weak dogs. Due to the fact that they haven’t been used with people around and other dog breeds, they will start seeing the world around in deformed images. But do not get too close to these dogs, thinking they are too weak in their minds to bite.

This is exactly the opposite: once these dogs perceive everything as a threat they would tend to defend themselves and as a result they will start biting. So, our advice would be to avoid these dogs if you happen to come across them. In case you are the owner of such a dog, a good idea would be teach him how to socialize and teach him also that the world around is not such a scary place to be in.

This is a great error and poses a threat to driver safety, passenger vehicle and others. We must take into account that even the most educated individuals sometimes have unexpected reactions. You can see a cat, another dog or just defend a situation that seems strange to them. In any case, they will react by moving inside the vehicle, causing a distraction difficult to control, to such an extent that could lose control of the car the driver with a sinister result for themselves and other drivers and pedestrians.

For this reason we recommend using Prelate and seatbelts for dogs, which can be difficult to obtain in some countries where the issue is still not regulated.

If you do not find this accessory, there are other valid options, such as tying our pet of some kind of hook, thus avoiding having to reach the person driving. This can be placed in some of the fixed areas of the back of the car. Another option a bit more complex a network is to separate the dog from you.  When you take in your dog to the car, it is better safe than sorry before.
