WINTER NOSE OR SNOW NOSE

WINTER NOSE OR SNOW NOSE
 
Snow is a temporary loss of pigment on your dogs nose.
 
Usually it happens to white dogs or light coloured dogs during the winter months. Although pigment loss mostly
 
happens in the winter but it has also being documents in other seasons.
 

This condition is not a health risk some researchers say its because the enzyme tyrosinase, this enzyme  produces

pigment in your dogs nose. It maybe that tyrosinase is less active in the colder months, lack of sunshine, or just sensitive

to cold. Whatever the reason come Spring your dogs nose should return back to black.
