Poodle Skin Color Change

20 10:27:20

Question
I have a poodle who weights appx 7.5lbs and is 2yrs old. She is White with a little tip of Apricot on the bottom of her ears.  She has always had pretty, pink, healthy skin.  However, now her skin color under her hair and all over is silver/grey just within a matter of weeks.

Answer
Hello Patti,
There can be a number of reasons that your dogs skin will change color like that.  It can be exposure to the sun, diet, allergies, or injury that will cause this skin change.  
Sounds to me like its just sun exposure that is causing this.  Not to worry though, it won't affect your dogs hair color.  

If you have other questions for me, please feel free to ask.
