A vet has called out a 'dangerous' viral TikTok trend where pet owners dye their dog's fur.
Several clips show owners dying their dog's fur to make them look like other animals, including pandas and foxes, amassing millions of views.
Research carried out by Everypaw shows that searches for 'blue dog hair dye' have increased by 200 per cent in the last three months, while searches for 'temporary dog hair dye' have increased by 100 per cent.
"As well as being a deterrent, as dogs with a brightly dyed tail are easily identifiable, it also discourages thieves as a dog with a dyed tail is less desirable to potential buyers"
