I Painted My Dog to Look Like a Tiger with PetPaint

Yep. You read the title of this post correctly. I painted my dog to look like a tiger. I used a pet safe spray paint called PetPaint. I was offered a chance to test out the product for an honest review and I thought it would be fun for Halloween. Well, it definitely was a fun time and a good experience too.

Don't worry, this isn't a real tiger - just a dog. 

When trying to decide what exactly what I was going to paint on Shiner, I quickly thought of a tiger. Why? Well, because Shiner's already an orange color so I thought it would be easy for a novice pet painter like me to just spray on some black stripes on her body.

I received some black and orange paint from PetPaint. I didn't use too much orange and mostly stuck with the black. PetPaint offers stencils to make the task of painting your dog easier. I used the Animal Instincts Stencil Pack to paint the black stripes and just freelanced the orange stripes afterwards. You can use this stencil pack to turn your dog into a leopard, cheetah, tiger, or zebra.

I will say that I guess I expected a little more of the stencil pack. The stencils are just made of cardboard and I'm not sure how much they can be re-used. I guess I was expecting maybe some sort of bendable plastic? But they were still very helpful in painting on the stripes. I'd hate to see what Shiner's paint job would have looked like without them.

Shiner was good while being painted, but I kept her on a leash because I was afraid she would run off and roll around in the grass during the process. This paint wears off quickly and was pretty faded the next day. And it was super easy to wash off the dog and my own hands.

PetPaint is an easy to alternative for dogs who hate wearing clothes and costumes on Halloween or other holidays/events. It's veterinarian tested, non-toxic, and professional quality pet hair dye. Plus, it washes off easily. It can also be used on cats and horses.

It was a fun experience and everyone loved Shiner's new safari look. Visit PetPaint to check out all of their colors, stencil packs, and how-to videos if you're interested in painting your dog sometime! I'd recommend PetPaint if you are looking to spice up your dog's look for the day.

Do I get a treat now?
