Dyeing a dog with human dyes can cost him his life.

They contain substances that are toxic to these animals

There are people who love to dress up their pets and dye their hair in a different color. And there are many others who find this practice humiliating to the dignity of animals. But if, in spite of this, someone is encouraged to do it, what you should never do is dye your dog with human dyes. An example of this is the story of Violeta.

This cute little dog had to be treated at Pinellas County Animal Services in Florida, after her owner decided to dye the hair the same color as her name, and the result was devastating, as the dog suffered a serious allergic reaction that caused burns on her skin, and a brutal swelling in her eyes. And not only that, when his hair was shaved, they found that part of his skin was falling apart.

Fortunately, Violeta recovered after three months of treatment, but veterinarians came to fear for her life. Therefore, this case is perfect to remember that the hair dyes we humans use contain substances that are toxic to animals, especially hydrogen peroxide, which can cause very serious skin injuries. In addition, since dogs have a habit of frequently licking themselves, they can ingest the substance and also suffer internal damage.

It should also not be forgotten that dyes mask the natural smell of dogs, which causes serious damage to these animals, which usually sniff to interact with other dogs.
