"I got this dye because I work at an animal hospital and we are in the 4th of July parade in our town and I thought this year I'd step it up lol so I got the red and blue dye and was NOT disappointed!"

β€” StevesMom

"I washed the areas I wanted to color, applied, then let it sit while I cut the rest of his fur. I put it on the end of his tail and his mohawk. It was on for about 45 mins while I cut his hair. As soon as I tried to rinse him the color washed completely away."

Bottom Line

A good option for temporary coloring, but be prepared for the potential need to reapply.
