Instructions
Groom your pet's fur. Make sure that it is free of tangles.
Mix a few drops of your food coloring choice with water. If you are dyeing a small animal, you can fill a bathtub, since you can color the animal right in the tub. For a larger animal, fill a large bowl with water. It is best to color a large animal outdoors to avoid coloring floors, furniture, etc.
Wet your pet's fur, then color your pet with the coloring mix. For a small animal, place it in the bathtub and pour the colored water over it. For a large pet, take it outside. Dip a sponge in the bowl of coloring and scrub it through the fur. Sponge your pet continuously until the desired darkness in color is achieved. Avoid your pet's eyes and mouth.
Leave the coloring in the fur for 15 minutes. Then, rinse the coloring out with lukewarm water and dry your pet. To help set the color, use a blow dryer on a low setting.
