Is it safe to colour a dog's coat using beetroot juice?

I saw in an article about this women who loves pink, that she gets her white dogs coloured pink using beetroot juice. I wouldn’t think it would hurt them at all as it’s all natural, but would the smell be annoying for them? Can they taste it? Would it rub off on white bedding/couches? Also do you think it would wash out or stain them? My mum wants to colour our maltese puppy pink for Easter.

Answer #1
  1. Hmm…I never noticed a smell in beetroot!
  2. It is pretty tasteless. Besides, you’re not colouring a cat that’ll continuously lick itself.
  3. I don’t think it would rub off once it’s dry.
  4. THAT I don’t know.
