Meet The Russian Pet Groomer Who Turns Cats Into Dragons

One pet groomer in Russia has taken her animal beauty salon to the next level. Instead of just baths and haircuts, she gives cats and dogs colorful makeovers to resemble exotic creatures, like dragons and bumblebees.

Daria Gotz, a groomer based in Yekaterinburg, Russia, showed off two of her latest customers recently. Two pets, a cat and a dog, went home with unusually colorful dye jobs. The cat got a haircut to look like a mythical green dragon, while a Shih Tzu pup named Bettie wore yellow and black bumblebee stripes.

They might be strange-looking at first, but these colorful critters have gotten plenty of positive reactions from passers-by in Yekaterinburg.

“The first reaction from people is probably shock, because people see a dog colored like this for the first time. Joy, delight — children like it a lot!” said Bettie’s human Ekaterina Aidimirova. The attention-grabbing dye jobs can help to draw awareness to the culture of caring for pets as four-legged members of the family.

Gotz says that she only uses dyes made from botanical extracts that wear off once the animal’s coat grows out. Watch a video of these transformed pets below.
