I was wondering if anyone knows why black nose on 8 months old puppy is now light pink. Is this something that is going to stay this way or is has this something to do with the food or....
She had very black nose when I got her it started to go pink when se was around 5-6 months old. She is very dark black and red in colour.
Best regards Dísa

I could be an alergy or lack of sunlight.

Could be whats called snow nose, occurs during winter months, due to lack of sun light , returns to normal during warmer months with longer days.

It can also happen from feeding in a plastic type bowl, as opposed to a metal bowl. It happened with my dogs many years ago. When I switched to metal bowls, the black came back.

Probably just "winter nose," which is nothing to worry about. My past dog would get the pink nose for a few months each year, but it would return to black.

I've heard of this before, but I don't know if I agree with it on all dogs....I was told on Huskies....I have three....that it's "pink nose" My male has had it for a year and he's been out in the sun quite often in the summer/winter and had it last summer. I've seen a lot of Huskies with it......maybe it is a lack of sun thing though, who knows. My dogs have no allergies, and eat in metal bowls...never heard of that one though....

Thank you for the answears.
Here in Iceland we haven´t seen much sunlight during winter :) This has not happen to my older dogs and I´m sure she dosent have allergies and eats from a metal bowl. I hope she will get her tan/black in summer if it ever comes here

This happened to one of ours last year and it turned out to be the shavings we were using in the kennel !!
We always use white shavings but had a delivery that contaned small amounts of redwood, as soon as we went back to white her nose returned back to being black

Sounds like it it related to the sun, then. Has this happened to the dogs of others, too? If so, sinlight would seem to be even more likely, imo.
I live in Seattle and we haven't seen a lot of sun this winter. We got more snow than Denver...and we usually only get snow one day every 2-3 years.
