Snow Nose

SNOW NOSE - Technically called "hypopigmentation" (or snow nose, winter nose) it results from loss of sunlight, and causes the nose to fade to brown in winter; normal colour returns as summer approaches. Snow nose occurs mainly in light-coated breeds; the colour change can become permanent in older dogs. It is not associated with disease.


I took this picture at exactly this time last year. We were still in sunny Florida.


I took these these two pictures below just today. Funky phenomenon, eh?
