What are grapes? What are they for?
Grapes are kind of a "joke" item on Furry-Paws. They do not affect game play in any way, just the appearance of the Dog you use them on.

What happens if I give my dog a grape?
If you give your dog a grape, it will turn the dog the color that is listed on the grape! Want a yellow dog? Give it a yellow grape! Please Note: If you do give your dog a grape, it will permanently change the dog to that color. This cannot be undone. That is, not until retirement. If you reset the image after a Grape colored dog is retired, it will look normal again.

OMG! I found a dog and it is rainbow! How do I make it normal?
You can't. A dog that has had a grape used on it is stuck the color of that grape until it retires. You can give it another grape to change to a different grape color, but you cannot revert the image back to the normal color of the dog.

If you do not want to look at a pink/rainbow/green colored dog, you may, instead, go to the Image Bank and select a different style image for your dog. You can do this by going to "Atlas" and then "Image Bank" (or, Click Here). Choose the "By Breed" option in the lefthand side and search for the images of that breed. Browse them until you see one you like. Below that image will be a green checkmark next to a link that says "Select Image." Click that and a list of your dogs will Show up. Click the green checkmark in the righthand column of the list of dogs, in the row of the dog you want to change the image for.

Will this color affect litters I breed?
Nope! Using a grape on a dog will only affect that dog's default image. It will not change the genetics of the dog. All offspring of the dog will be normal... unless you decide to feed them grapes once they are out of the litters...

How can I tell what the normal color of a graped dog was?
On a dog's "About" page, both the genetics of the dog and the name of the color (phenotype) will still be listed. Both sets of information are toward the bottom end of the table of information on the "About" page (with the color name being a little above the genetics information).

How can I get a grape?
If you want a grape of a specific color, it is best if you use the UserShop Search (must be at least User Level 6!) to seek out the grape you want. If you have no preference, grapes can be found through random events on the site, as well as through the rewards page for referring new players to the site.
