Why Pet Coloring?

Pet coloring is a fun, expressive way to showcase your pet’s personality or celebrate a holiday or event. Many pet parents choose coloring services for:



  • Holidays (Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Christmas)
  • Pet parades and costume contests
  • Photoshoots or social media
  • Special events like birthdays or adoption anniversaries
  • Pure fun and flair


At Sittin’ Pretty, we make sure the experience is safe, comfortable, and stress-free for your pet — with beautiful, Instagram-worthy results.

Is Pet Coloring Safe?

Yes — when done professionally, using the right products and techniques.


At Sittin’ Pretty Pet Spa, we only use veterinarian-approved, animal-safe dyes.

These products are:

  • Free from ammonia, peroxide, bleach, and alcohol
  • Non-toxic and lick-safe
  • Formulated for pets’ skin pH
  • Tested for sensitivity before full application


We never use human hair dye on animals. If your pet has sensitive skin, allergies, or medical conditions, we’ll review everything with you in advance to determine if coloring is a good fit.

Ideal Pets for Coloring

Not every pet enjoys the coloring process, and that’s okay. We always evaluate your pet’s coat type, skin health, and tolerance for handling before proceeding.


Coloring is best suited for:


  • Dogs with light or white fur (for vibrant results)
  • Long-haired breeds (Poodles, Maltese, Shih Tzus)
  • Social or calm pets that don’t mind longer grooming sessions
  • Pets that are used to regular baths and blow drying


If your pet is anxious or not ready for a full dye, we offer chalk or temporary sprays that wash out easily and require less time.

Grooming + Coloring = Total Makeover

Want to combine coloring with other grooming services? We can create a full pet makeover with:



  • Haircuts and coat shaping
  • Bathing and conditioning
  • Nail trimming
  • Teeth brushing
  • De-shedding treatments
  • Finishing touches like bows or bandanas


Just ask about custom packages when booking your appointment.

FAQs About Pet Dye and Coloring

  • How long does pet dye last?

    Temporary dyes last 1–2 washes. Semi-permanent dyes can last up to 6–8 weeks depending on your pet’s coat and care routine.

  • Will the color stain furniture or fabric?

    Once dry, the dye does not transfer. We advise against letting your pet roll on white carpet or bedding immediately after a coloring session.

  • Can you dye black or dark fur?

    Color is most visible on light fur. For darker coats, we offer chalks or accents that may show more subtly.

  • Is pet coloring painful or irritating?

    Not at all. When done correctly with safe products, your pet won’t feel a thing. We monitor every pet closely for reactions and stop if any discomfort occurs.

  • Can I request a custom design?

    Yes! Bring your idea and we’ll let you know what’s possible based on your pet’s coat and temperament.
