BJean Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 To those that dye their dogs coat or know of someone that does what products do you recommend/use? I need the colour to last about 24 hours and not to rub off on your hand if you touch the coat. No, it's not for showing purposes Thankyou PS: I have looked at chalk sticks but they are claggy and I'm not sure you can colour an entire coat with these???

DYEX or Food colouring also works short term, and is easy to source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poodle Mum Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 This is my white poodle the day after I used food colouring in her. One bottle of "Rose" to 2L of water. Don't rub dry with a towel too much & gentle hair dryer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poodlefan Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Is there a black coloured food dye.Which one do I use? I know little about cooking and colour dyes If you want to colour the coat black, black spray chalk might do it. That dries and won't come off on your hands. It does tend to make the coat rougher though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJean Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) What colour is the coat and what colour do you want to change it to? actually white would be good too. But I dont think you can dye fawn white. ??? Can you? :D Edited June 15, 2011 by lilli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxiewolf Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Sooo you think that pink would work on a light coloured apricot poodle? *evil plot* when they are all washed and dry... do you find the dye comes out on things like bedclothes or furniture... or your clothes though? ETA: She does look awesome by the way! Edited June 15, 2011 by Maxiewolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) What colour is the coat and what colour do you want to change it to? Fawn colour, to be dyed black. See my comment about spray chalk. Chris Christensen and Biogroom do black spray chalk. Is it the whole dog that needs to be done? Its going to be very difficult to dye a dog black without permanent dye. Spray chalk is probably a better option for a short term purpose. ETA: White spray chalk might well work to temporarily change fawn. It has good coverage. Ring 5 would be my pick for white sprays.

It does tend to make the coat rougher though. like 'Chris Sticks', but in a spray version? Does it make the coat feel liek it has something on it? I'd be colouring the whole body, legs and tail. hmm I dont want the dog to feel like it has been dipped in glue or that something is off with it s coat. The dog will be looked at, scrutinised to some degree. Edited June 15, 2011 by lilli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dog will be looked at, scrutinised to some degree. You'd be able to tell but on a smooth coated dog, the chalk can be brushed into the coat after spraying with a fine brush to blend it. This is how I chalk Howie's legs but on the body the texture is rougher. All I can suggest is see if you can get your hands on a can to try it.

JAG Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Is the dog a solid colour? What type of coat does it have? There are propper dyes you can buy that are dog friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the whole dog that needs to be done? yes Its going to be very difficult to dye a dog black without permanent dye. Spray chalk is probably a better option for a short term purpose. The prupose is short term but if the best effect is a permanent dye, I guess I can use permanent. How long will it take to grow out? What are some permanent dyes that I can use? ETA: White spray chalk might well work to temporarily change fawn. It has good coverage. Ring 5 would be my pick for white sprays. Is that a brand name or do you mean to look at what is in ring 5?

Anatolian We want to make it not look like one, so were thinking of colouring it black and poodlefan got me thinking that we could change it to a pinto coloured dog, by using white chalk spray and leaving fawn patches...

poodlefan Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Is that a brand name or do you mean to look at what is in ring 5? Ring 5 is a brand. Any black human hair dye would do the job but I'd patch test it first for sensitivities and you're going to have to be super careful around eyes. I know that they dyed a number of bay Arabs black to film the movie "The Black Stallion" and I'm pretty sure they used human hair dye to do it. Hairdressers and beauticians use a very mild black dye on eyelashes but I have no idea what it costs. Know any hairdressers?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish markings using white or terrier markings using black would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
