I've been using this on my Maltese for a while now and it works pretty well! It's a gel consistency so it doesn't drip off which is great. The longer you leave it on the darker it will become so I vary the amount of time I leave it in depending on whether I want it to be lavender or a darker purple color but even when I make it the darker purple, it always eventually fades to a lilac as time goes on which is to be expected since it's not really a permanent dye. It usually lasts about four to six weeks before disappearing from her coat completely. I'm looking forward to trying other colors & have recommended this to quite a few of my friends. I will update this review with pictures of her the next time I use it!
Vibrant color and easy application.
I love this product. I docked one star because the red color turns out more pink. But every other color I have used from this brand turns out lovely. It applies like a gel and even with only 10-15min of wait time, it turns out quite bright and vibrant. I've used this on both shedding and non-shedding dogs. For best results, your dog should be fairly light in color. To apply, I wear gloves and apply it to a small area (ears or tail usually.) While the dye is setting, I wrap the area so it doesn't dye other parts of the dog. I've used both tin foil and ziploc bags to achieve this. When rinsing, I apply shampoo to areas that the dyed water will rinse down over, for example when rinsing out tail color I put shampoo on the legs and booty to prevent dye saturation. I learned this lesson the hard way when my dog stood in a puddle of dyed water while I rinsed her and ended up with blue feet. The color lasts roughly 1-2 months depending on how often you bathe the dog. I think the color fades nicely as it lightens to almost a pastel, but depending on the color purchased, this may not be your desired look. The only color I would not recommend is the red as I turned out pink for me. I have used the red, pink, green, blue, and purple. Recently purchased the turquoise and I will add a photo when I can.

This stuff worked very well. Super easy to use!!! I would suggest going outside for it though, because my bath tub was purple! And you must wear gloves!!!!! After hot water, baking soda, and bleach for two days it finally came up. The dye itself was very nice and bold colored, I love it! It is fun and silly, makes everyone smile :) My 4lb poodle had no reaction to the patch test, and she doesn't even notice it. There is also no odor at all.

I personally enjoyed this dye and my dog didn't mind either! I used it to color my dog like "The Hulk" for Halloween. It has no strong smell and the ingredients made me comfortable to use in terms of not harming my dog in the process. It even left his fur soft! A little bit went a long way and it was easy to use. It lasted for a couple months, even after 6 washes. It was visibly faded but some ares remained dyed.

The only issue that could make this product not so great for appealing , is that it can stain the surface you dye in IF left for too long on say a bath tub for hours. Logically speaking though, any dye will stain some surface if left too long. But it took me about 20 minutes to dye my 12lb chihuahua and it came off great with some Clorox w/bleach cleaner. It also comes off easily with rubbing alcohol and hand-washing if one forgets to wear gloves while dying.
