While walking home yesterday an odd little puppy followed me home the odd thing is that she is only about 9weeks old and has DUCT TAPE around his muzzle. I brought him to the vet to remove the duct tape and since he was dirty and skinny I fed him and gave him a bath. since he was so gentle my parents let me keep him. Later I was when I was on the computer I read about dog fighting and how they would use puppies and small dogs as bait. Now I think there might be illegal dog fighting in my neighborhood. If I am seen with their bait that got away they might track my house down. Is this a good reason to dye his hair as long as it is safe and wont harm the puppy? An where can I buy hair dye that is safe for him?
Should I dye my puppies hair? OK now you are getting a little carried away
You never ever dye a dogs hair that can kill her and I think it has already been threw enough abuse
Just be very careful as to where you take the pup don't take her any ware for a while unless to the vet then keep her in a dogie jacket
When You let her out put her in a Tshirt or something and do it in a place like your back yard where she wont be noticed and watch over her
Just keep her in Tshirts and Jackets and with in a few weeks she is going to change so much in looks you wont even recognize her yourself
But Put clothes on her Never ever Put any Chemicals on her that is so dangerous
Take Care

Should I dye my puppies hair? Is there anyway you can hide the dog until it gets older? I'd also suggest registering the dog in your name and getting license tags so that you can prove the dog is yours if you had to. Perhaps if you can hide the dog until it grows some, they won't recognize the dog.
Should I dye my puppies hair? I understand that you want to dye your puppies hair, but like any dye its not permanant. Dont dye your puppies hair just watch him very carefully so no one sees him. Go to a different neighborhood to walk him. Hair Dye is niether safe or a good idea. You see it in poodles but its still not good and they are mostly adult dogs. It would be harmful for puppies.
Should I dye my puppies hair? Are you serious? Don't dye your puppies fur. It's weird and will probably make him sick (even if it says it's safe). I've never heard of this and would never recommend it.
Should I dye my puppies hair? good on you for doing that, i mean saving a disstressed puppies life. i dont think dying the puppies fur would be a good thing
Should I dye my puppies hair? I don really think u should punish ur dog by dying his hair...maybe let it grow! I think you should tell the police about your theory.....
Should I dye my puppies hair? No!
Like the dog fighters would even give a crap about one bait dog getting loose and in the back of my mind why would they duct tape a puppies mouth. Troll.
Should I dye my puppies hair? no
Should I dye my puppies hair? People who fight dogs should be shot. Keep your new puppy inside to keep him safe.
Should I dye my puppies hair? if you think there is illegal dog fighting in your neighborhood you should report it so animal control can start investigating.. as for dying your dog's hair... cant help you there. i wouldn't do it... cause dye fades so eventually the poor thing will still be recognized.
Should I dye my puppies hair? You need to report the dog fighting before you even consider dying the dog's hair.
If you wish to disguise your dog, ask you vet what he suggests. There may be more options than you think.
Should I dye my puppies hair? They won't look for him, and if they did, you get their names, addresses and report them to the police and Animal Services.
Do NOT give them that dog, he's obviously been abused and will be more abused if they get him back, I doubt they care enough to look for him.
As to dying his hair, I suspect he's had enough misery, just be good to him and hide him if you have to.
Report these people for dog fighting - have the courage to protect this little dog if you know that is what he was for - don't give him back, whatever you do.
Should I dye my puppies hair? If you really want to dye your dog's hair, then go for it. :)
This will not make your dog really sick.
I used to dye my poodle-terrier's hair in the summer when she was younger.
Boil 5 cups of water in a stainless steel pot on the stove top. When water comes to a boil, add 4 to 6 packages of Kool-Aid or another very similar sugarless drink mix. Continue boiling it for a around 3 to 5 minutes. Turn it off and take it off the burner and let it cool (or warm).
When its warm or cool, put on tight rubber or latex gloves. Put your dog in a small tub, or sink (with the plug in it).
Pour the Kool-Aid dye on your dog bit by bit, on diffrent places of the dog's body to make sure that he or she is all covered/soaked in it. Rub it into the dog's fur after each time you pour it on, or as you pour it on.
Have someone hold open a garbage bag, and put the dog in it with it's face sticking out of it. Hold the dog in the bag for up to 20 minutes (the longer the better). Time goes by fast if you're watching a TV show while your holding it.
When time is up, put the dog back in the sink or tub (with no plug in it) and rinse the dog until the water runs clear. Dry the dog off, and let it dry. The dog should/will be the color of the Kool-Aid that you used.
The dog's skin will not be harmed in any way.
If its a fuzzy poodle type of dog, than you should also give him a hair cut. Just trim the fur on his ears, and snout, that will make him hard to recognize.
Should I dye my puppies hair? Sorry, not a good enough reason for me. There are lots of dogs and puppies that look similar. Get a leash and collar, find a name and enjoy your puppy.
If someone hassles you about the puppy, tell the police, humane society, k9 control.....no shortage of people in a position to help. Infact, why not tell them now, so if there is a problem down the road they will know what you are talking about.
Should I dye my puppies hair? Thanks for saving the puppy, there should be more people out there like you.
just get it tagged and registered in your name. Don't let the dog outside unattended. Keep an eye out for strange people. drop a note to your local police office.
don't dye him. it's not really good for adults, and certainly not for puppies.
Should I dye my puppies hair? You should not dye the dog fur at all. Permanent dye is not good for human hair much less an animal! It would be best to report any dog fighting to the local police and the animal control department for your city. Keep an eye on your dog and walk it in another neighborhood when needed.
Should I dye my puppies hair? Don't dye your puppies hair. If you seriously think there is dog fighting going on in your neighborhood, contact the ASPCA and they will look into it. As others have said, get the dog liscenced in your name. I doubt that once you've cleaned the dog up and he's gained some weight that anyone will be able to recognize him. I think you are safe!
P.S. Bless you for taking in a puppy like this and giving it a loving home!!
