Influencers Using Fruits & Veggies for Colorful Coat on Pets Spark Debate

Controversial Pet Dye
Turns Out to Be Using Fruits and Vegetables
Viewers Show Mixed Reactions

A popular video on Chinese social media showcasing a dog with colorful fur sparked a debate. While some viewers were concerned about the dyeing process, it was later revealed that the coloring came from pet-safe fruits and vegetables.

Recently, videos of pet dogs with dyed fur in colors like green and pink went viral in China.

The video featured a dog sporting a colorful coat achieved using a natural dye made from fruits and vegetables like dragonfruit, spinach, and pumpkin. The creators explained a simple process: fruits and vegetables are chopped finely, blended, and strained to create a thin, dye-like solution.

The stunningly vivid colors achieved with the fruit and vegetable dye amazed viewers, mistaking it for commercially produced pet dye.

Viewers reacted with comments like “It’s adorable,” and “I’m amazed that you can dye with fruits and vegetables,” though some expressed concern about whether the dogs would be uncomfortable during the dyeing process.

Some viewers expressed anger, commenting, “I think the dogs will be stressed,” “Unnecessary stress,” “Who came up with this idea,” and “Leave the dogs alone.”

In one video, too much dragon fruit juice was applied, causing the dog’s fur to become tangled and sticky.

“Such natural dyes do not harm the dog’s health. It can be easily washed off after a bath,” according to a veterinarian.

The practice of dyeing pet fur has sparked a lively discussion online.
