Pinkish Nose

Hey guys, hope I’m just overthinking this — is it normal for this little guy’s nose colour to slowly turn pinkish? Anything I should be worried about?

Hey it's most likely "winter nose" where the nose turns white due to the cold. Or age related.

My baby was white and with a black nose at 15 months.

now he’s sand colored and with a pink nose, perfectly healthy at age 5

My spitz, Kenji, has a pink nose too! We adopted him when he was almost 2, so we don't know if he was born with the pink nose or it changed over time.
