Why Does a Dog's Muzzle Turn Gray? It's Not Just About Old Age
Sometimes pet owners, especially if we are talking about dogs with dark fur, notice with alarm gray hairs on the animal’s muzzle.
Moreover, this phenomenon can happen not only to old dogs.
Let's figure out what causes changes in your pet's appearance.
Why does a dog's face turn grey?
As a rule, a dog's fur, like a human's, turns gray with age. For example, very large breeds of animals can be considered elderly when they reach their fifties.
However, if we are talking about individuals who are barely a year old, then the reasons lie elsewhere.
For example, graying may accompany some diseases. The appearance of gray hairs indicates possible hypothyroidism, so it is necessary to consult a veterinarian.
Graying is also associated with the dog's temperament. That is, individuals with a nervous and impulsive character, who are often frightened or feel anxious, often have a gray muzzle.
