Puppy's nose is turning white

Post by tixcu »

Hello guys!
My 4 months old puppy's nose is turning white. It was jet black just a few weeks ago. Can it be attributed to teething? Or it will stay this way forever?

This is a loss of pigment which could be due to a number of different factors but is not associated with teething. It may be temporary as some dogs lose pigment in the nose apparently at certain times of the year but, if you are anxious about it, I would check with a vet.
One of our affenpinschers lost pigment on one side of her left nostril when she was 4 years old and the colour has never returned to black but she is fit and well and now in her 9th year of age so no health issues associated with it.
