Why Does My Dog’s Nose Turn Pink? Your dog will probably have a nose that is black, liver, brown or can be the same color as his coat. Puppies have pink noses and they will become darker as puppies age. Why is my dog’s nose turning pink? In general, this happens when the nose loses pigment and therefore color. There are a few causes why this happens and some of these issues are severe while others are harmless. Let’s see all of them right now.

Main Causes Why Does My Dog’s Nose Turn Pink

Cold Weather

When the temperature is low, many dogs end up with a pink nose. This is because the tyrosinase enzyme loses its strength. The enzymes make melatonin and melatonin gives dark color to the nose or skin in general. Why is my dog’s nose turning pink?

Your dog is cold. Some of you will know that this is a snow nose or winter nose condition and it is harmless. In addition, the nose will change color on the surface only and there is no need to worry about side effects. Goldens and Huskies usually end up with snow nose during winter. 

Due To Injury

It is not that common but it can happen. A dog who injures his nose can get a pink color. This happens because the nose needs time to heal. Any trauma of this kind of abrasion can cause a pink nose. A good thing is that once the nose recovers, it will get his natural color again. You can take your pet to a vet if the injury is massive but if it is healing, there is no need for medical attention. 

Your Dog Is Old

Older dogs can change the color of their nose. The nose will lose pigment and therefore color. This can happen to any dog and it is once again harmless and you don’t have to worry about treatment, side effects, etc. Sadly, there is nothing you can do about it and you will have a dog with a pink nose, period.

Bacterial Infection

It is possible that the nose will look pink and also unhealthy. The latter refers to a crusty look, swelling, or something similar. It means that a dog has a bacterial infection and he does need medical treatment. Don’t worry. Most treatments are safe, and simple and your dog will recover completely. It is better to start as soon as you notice a pink nose (you will probably notice this first) in order to keep the treatment simple and get over it in no time.

Dudley Nose

Dudley nose or nasal de-pigmentation is rare and it can happen at any given moment. As you can assume, your dog will end up with a nose that has no pigment hence it will be completely pink. Some dogs even have white nose when this happens. Certain dog breeds are more prone to the condition. The best examples would be Afghan Hound, Irish Setter, Golden Retriever, and Samoyed. 

Here we can add that some dogs will restore the natural color of their nose soon. Others will have a pink or white nose for a long time. It is also possible that you have a dog who will change the color of his nose per season. 

Pemphigus

It is a rare condition that can happen to your dog. Basically, this is a skin-related, autoimmune disease. It is treatable and far from severe. If you notice sores and also crusty areas on the nose and around it, a visit to a vet is mandatory. He can start the treatment as soon as possible and your pet will be fine in no time.

Allergies

Yes, a dog can get a pink nose due to an allergy. This happens when he comes in contact with something that causes the allergy. It can be a certain type of plastic, or something else. It can be anything and can happen at any given moment. You will want to investigate and see the cause of allergy. After you know, you can make sure that the object or material is not available anymore so the dog can’t touch it. 

If this happens to your dog you will probably see that his lips change color as well. They can look swollen or crusty. It is not a mistake to take him to a vet and see available options. By using this tip you can also prevent something more severe from happening to your pet.

Discoid Lupus

It is an auto-immune disease and it will manifest itself in a similar way as pemphigus. The only difference is that lupus will become much worse if your pet is exposed to the sun. You need to take him to a vet soon, especially if it is summer. Treatment will help and your pet will recover completely. 

Vitiligo

Perhaps the name of this condition sounds funny but it is far from that. The condition means that the antibodies will attack healthy cells that carry pigment. As such, they can’t reach the areas where they should be present. The nose will end up in pink color.

The skin will lose pigment and the coat will lose it as well. It is even possible that a dog with a completely dark coat becomes white! There is no need to add that this is an autoimmune disease and you need to take him to a vet. German Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers are some of the breeds most prone to this disorder.

VKH-like Syndrome or Uveodermatological syndrome (UDS) 

VKH-like syndrome or UDS can cause this issue as well. This means that the T-cells will attack melanocytes that form melatonin. As such, they can’t do their job and the skin will be without melatonin which makes a pet lose his color in specific areas. The nose is one of them.

The Final Word 

Why does my dog’s nose turn pink? There are many issues that can cause this. It can be difficult to tell which one is present unless this happens when the temperature is very low only. Try to look for other symptoms and take your pet to a vet as soon as possible. Most of these can be treatable and it is less likely that a dog will end up in severe pain or something similar.
