Perhaps someone might be able to help, my malamutes nose has suddenly started changing to a light brown colour it has been black since I've had her from 10wks she is now 19mnths old, is this normal? I did change her food about 2 mnths ago. I would be grateful of any comments.

Do not worry, this is called 'snow nose' and is quite common in sleddogs.

My cream GSD has the same problem, I was told to give him kelp or elderberry supplements to bring back the pigment. Has not worked so far, but I am keeping on trying!

Bear snow nose usually comes around this time of year i dont have a clue as to why. I tried all those remedies and they do help some, however having to wait a long time for the nose to go black made me miss some shows .as you would be surprised how many judges have said (not specialists) that they had a dudley nose I give black pudding and ribena or other dark drinks but got fed up to the teeth of the time it took and , im sure if I had not given anything it would have gone back to black anyway. so I posted all over the globe for a solution in hotter countries it seems the nose doesent go snow so from that I can only assume its the cold. So what to do then I got this post from canada, telling me that it was lack of iron and a haemaglobin tonic was what he used .I bought the iron tonic and gave it to all 3 bullmastiffs 1 teaspoon a day starting october to december half a spoon for smaller dogs well it is now january and no snow noses.I am not advising anyone to do this all im saying is I did , and I feel it worked mari
