kirst_goldens Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 pet este sell dog dye that is safe to use and also spectrum sell a safe dye as well im in vic so i dont know who would sell it up near you but i would go with one of those beacuse i know they are safe - always spot test though to make sure there is no allergies. hopes that helps a little sorry i couldnt do more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Daisy Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I use the Pet Este dyes and they are great, but they are permanent and will have to grow out and on a lab that will take ages. The pink also fades to a funny orangey pink colour so maybe not a good look after a while. If you don't want it permanent I would just use coloured hair spray from the reject shop. I've used that on my golden before when raising money for the shave or colour for a cure. Now I've given you hints you'll have to post photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoilt lab lives here Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 I dont want it to be permanent so probably going to go with food colouring or spray on dye...Photos will be a must! Practising on my mums dog first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raineth Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Food colouring may actually stain her coat as well. My little boy is blonde and I used green food colouring to dye his hair for an event. Well it didn't really come out :D It lasted for about five months thought I'd mention just in case :D good on you btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoilt lab lives here Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) It should be right, as long as it comes out eventually, I dont mind have an oddly coloured dog for a while With the coloured hair spray..was it safe? Did your dog lick it? Thats the main thing im worried about Ramses is a licker and I dont want him to get sick.

spoilt lab lives here Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 I volunteered mums place to do the dye because they own the house and I rent. She wants my place beacause the shower head is on a hose and I have a shower curtain that can be hosed down. Im not into that plan My shower curtain is white and I only bought it 2 days ago hahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
