My dog has about medium-length fur and you can see it on the prints, but I think it looks really awesome. The clarity of the prints will partially depend on how much fur your pet has on its paws. Colors are cool, but black can go with anything! I don't know if that was the paint or what. One thing that I decided is that the black just turned out way better than the blue. I actually thought that we were not getting very many good prints while we did it, but I changed my mind after I actually looked at them. ![]() Obviously none of them are perfect, but I didn't think they would be! I had many that looked pretty complete and cute/cool, so I was pleased. ![]() Once the paint has dried it is time to see what you got. I didn't think about that, and, sure enough, had my dog turning around with paint paws on the concrete! *Now, if I were to repeat this, I would leave a larger unpainted section before the end of the paper so that my pet had room to turn around. ![]() That way your pet will walk across the wet paint from one side to the other.

As a note: Always do your research before applying anything to your pets! I knew that I would only be letting my dog get it on his paws and then I would be washing it right off, so he would have no ill side-effects (most side-effects from paint for pets comes from eating it or inhaling the fumes of common household paints or oil-based paints that contain harmful solvents).
