(Disclaimer: This post does not, in any way, promote the alteration of your dog’s appearance with hair dye, nail polish, etc., the use of which is controversial. There are certain dyes and paints that are marketed as being safe for dogs [but still shouldn’t be applied to the face], however, please do your research, consult your vet, refer to professional groomers, and always make your pup’s health and well-being the top priority–they’re depending on you!)
