Its not what you think, there’s no hybrid — yet.

The Cute Pet Games cafe opened last month in Chengdu, capital of southwest Sichuan province.

Sharing the home with China’s giant pandas the cafe features six panda-like Chow Chow dogs, according to a video posted by Hongxing News on Tuesday.

The cafe owner, only identified by his last name Huang, told Hongxing News that he had started offering pet dyeing services after the panda dogs became an instant hit with clients. Dogs are dyed black and white to look like panda cubs.

Huang said,”Every time we dye it costs 1,500 yuan ($211),” He said, “The dye itself is very expensive.” He said it takes trained staff about a day to transform a fluffy Chow Chow dog into a “panda.”

The hashtag “Dye a dog into a panda for 1500 yuan” has gone viral with more than 170 million views on China’s Twitter-like Weibo platform and as you can imagine that’s when the angry pet lover comments started flowing in.
