Mashablereached out to UK charity Dogs Trust for comment, and they sent the following statement:

"Dogs Trust, the UK’s largest dog welfare charity, is concerned by the trend for colour-dying dogs and urges anyone considering this to be certain that the dye used is non-toxic and not medicated. We have seen an increase in the number of dogs dumped once they fall out of fashion and urge new dog owners to remember that a dog is for life.  The charity understands that dog owners like to pamper their pooches; however we strongly believe that a pet is not a fashion accessory and should not be paraded as such so as not to fuel this perception."

Meanwhile, the debate on social media rages on.
