Causes of a dog's nose becoming lighter:

2. Some dogs will have periodic nose fading with seasonal changes. This phenomenon mainly occurs in winter. After the weather is warmer, the color of the nose will also deepen and turn back to black.

3. A very small number of dogs will have the phenomenon of depigmentation of the nose due to allergies to some materials, which usually occurs in contact with plastic and rubber products.

4. Inherited genes, the genes in the dog's body determine the amount of melanin, which affects the color of the dog's skin and hair.
