SCRIPT
A cat made to look like a dragon and a dog styled to resemble a bumblebee were shown off by the owner at a pet salon in Yekaterinburg on Wednesday. The trend to ‘style’ pets is just starting to gain popularity in Russia but already has a few adherents in the city of Yekaterinburg.
Typically pet owners pay for the animals’ coats to be dyed in unusual colours or be given unique haircuts, so cats end up looking like dragons and dogs like bumblebees. Groomers liked the idea and are keen to draw public attention to this culture of ‘caring’ for animals. One customer explained that she thought her dog looked boring beforehand, so she decided to go for a more “colourful look”.
The dye remains on the animals’ coats for several months until new it grows out. While the owner of the pet beauty salon claims that the dye is not harmful and maybe even beneficial for the animals’ health, numerous reports detailing the health risks of the procedure exist. Adverse reactions can range from itchy skin to nausea and vomiting.
