• 3. They look great and they do love the attention of the grooming. It feels good to them. I have a small dog that needs to be groomed and although I dont dye hime he actually loves his groomer and runs in tail wagging. And he looks so proud when he is all groomed up.

• 4. As a creative groomer , and Expo 2009 Creative winner, I take much offence to some of the comments but I would be more than happy to educate the people upset with creative grooming. First and foremost these creative dogs are a family pets they are much better cared for than the average pet. My dog is a registered Therapy dog, he goes to work with me daily, and is by my side 24/7. He loves being groomed and will jump on my table of his own free will to be groomed. He requires weekly grooming whether colored or not. And we both enjoy our quality time together including grooming time. The colors are NON-Toxic, we would never put a harmful chemical on our dogs, again they are part of our family. I can understand people not liking it and that is fine but obscenities and cruel remarks are pushing it a bit far. If you don't like it don't look at it :)

• 5. These dogs are top dogs and trained accordingly. They LOVE being in color. I personallyl know almost all these dogs and they have a great life nad are wonderful dogs, owned by wonderful people! The dyes are made for dogs. SAFE for dogs and hundreds of dogs are done every year.

• 6. I find it interesting that people who don't know about the dyes or don't groom dogs themselves are so outspoken. You don't know how this is done, you don't know what dyes they use, so don't pass judgement!!!!! Many of these groomers are very sweet and would be happy to educate you about the process. BTW, the dyes are non-toxic and the dogs spend no more time being groomed at one time than any other pet or showdog. These dogs are used to being groomed and love the attention. You can't compare them to poorly trained pets who see a professional groomer only when they are so tangled and filthy, they can't walk. If you don't know, please ask before making untrue and inflamitory comments.

• 9. These dogs have to stand very still for long stretches of time. They are dogs, they want to lie down, sleep, play- not stand still on a table for hours on ends for weeks. I think it is cruel. I would never put my poodle through this. Also, instead of grooming these dogs for weeks and weeks, how about you use that time for some good? Like head down to your local animal shelter and volunteer to walk some dogs that are caged day after day.

• 14. This isn't abuse, and a lot of the time these are retired show dogs who LIVED for being groomed. I know many people who have done thins and love their animals to pieces. They are NOT abused. And generally, after the photos are taken the dogs are shaved down and washed and free to be a dog again. All of my animals LOVE to get groomed and washed, it feels good to them.

• 15. these dogs are so cute ! I love the peacock and panda . and the muzzle on the football dog is not hindering the dog at all. if you look closely you will see that it is way to big and the dog has his mouth open . just would be better if it was a Jacksonville Jaguars instead of the steelers !!!!! they suck ! and the dogs are not abused ! they love the attention they get from the groomers . and they do get breaks to walk and sit at least the ones i know do .
