Our Favorite Dog Coloring Books for Adults

If you haven’t caught on to the adult coloring book craze yet, I can guarantee you that “when” you do, you’ll soon be addicted! I know, ’cause it happened to me.

Coloring is not just for kids anymore. Adult are tapping into their inner child(ren) again with grown-up coloring books and finding out that coloring is most beneficial to the human psyche. It’s calming, soothing, relieves stress … some even say meditative. The left (rational thinking) side of your brain takes a back seat, while the right (creative) side kicks in, allowing you to be as creative as you like, while enjoying quiet time. It’s therapeutic. I promise.

Aside from a myriad of adult coloring books for animal lovers, there are many other themes — nature, floral, geometric designs, abstract designs, mandalas, seasonal themes, architecture, fine art, ocean themes, cartoons, fantasy, fairies, unicorns, horses, stained glass … the list goes on and on and on.

How about a coloring party? Invite a few of your coloring friends over for a nice, peaceful evening. Open a bottle of wine, maybe? Color a page from each others coloring books? Oh, what fun!

Below I feature a few books, but be sure to explore for a much wider range. There are so MANY books out there. Oh, my … So much to color, and not enough time.
