The other kind of animal abuse.

This was done by a professional stylist. They never use harsh chemicals. The color is actually from Kool-Aid packets. Kudos to the stylist for such detail.

Tasteless, yes. Abusive? Not so sure. How do we know the dog is miserable? Why do we assume it cares how it looks? If the way it looks leads people (its environment) to treat it well, that's probably the way it wants to look. Plenty of living things work that way, including people.

Not abuse. A dog cannot be distressed by its own appearance because it cannot recognize its own body visually. Put a dog infront of a mirror and you will see this.

As a dog groomer i see this as a form of art.. and the well being of the animal always comes first. if they show sign of fatigue while being groomed they are given a brake from it, and as mentioned only safe products that aren't hard on their skin are used.

Saw a bright pink poodle today and the first thing I said was: Well they'll never loose that dog.

Is it still abuse if it looks really cool?

Why? Dogs are colorblind. She probably enjoys all the extra attention.

The dog lost all its dignity, and shamefully resumed licking its testicles.

Yes, being fed only the best food, being well groomed, kept in good shape, and having attention given to you constantly must be awful. Those poor dogs.

gaiaap · 6 months

That seems more abusive to any onlookers than the dog.

riptaway · 6 months

I'll jump on the bandwagon. That dog probably isn't any less comfortable like that than it would be in a natural state. And if it is, it's probably minimal. At the same time, I guarantee that dog eats better and is cared for better than many children.

When I was about 7or 8 years old, I was in a pet parade(a giant deal for a little kid in my town). I have a standard poodle like the one in the picture. So I took her to the groomers the day of the parade and the groomer made her top notch blue and yellow, our school's colors and dressed her up like a cheer leader. We won the contest and my dog was fine. The dye was natural and didn't hurt her. She loved the extra attention too.

Honestly, only ignorant people see this as animal abuse. In order for a dog to sit still long enough for this process they are very pampered, loved, cuddled and cared for. There is no way a dog that is abused and hated by people is going to let you do this.

The people who like to do creative grooming (which is what this is) love their animals and see this as a bonding with their dog. Not everyone can go fake hunting or play fetch with their dog for health and mobility reasons. Grooming is a calming and rewarding experience for both the animal and the owner, so fucking what if they use dyes? They would never hurt an animal they consider part of the family.

TL;DR dogs love this, ignorant people piss me off.

GraveDi99er · 6 months

is that a fucking pokemon?

Chrisandanna · 6 months

I was trained by a grooming teacher that was friends with the lady who did this and its her dog, I can promise no harsh dyes and they only keep them like that for about 2 days for competition.

Look. The flames I airbrush on the side of my dog not only make him go faster, but bitches love it.

By bitches I mean human females. Lady dogs avoid him like the plague.

I once rented a room from a woman who owned a poodle. On holidays she would color the poodle whatever colors were for that holiday. A green poodle on St Patricks day etc.

EDIT: I realize this may not be abuse I mentioned, but it is still wtf.

Ruval · 6 months

This is actually the opposite of abuse.

The dog doesn't give two shits about it's appearance.

What is does think is 'OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY My master is spending a lot of time with my and touching me I am such a lucky doggy. This is the best day!"

theislandking · 6 months

My beagle is 4 years old and his face is getting whiter. I'm resisting the urge to dye him back to his tan color. I feel like I'm clinging to him for all the wrong reasons.

TL;DR why do dogs die why can't they just live forever ///
