LaFlaca Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 When Jenny joined our family a year ago her lips were black now they are pink. It looks like she’s wearing lipstick. They also seem a bit fleshier to me at the sides of her mouth. She does not exhibit any discomfort. I switched her stainless steel food and water bowls recently to glass on the off chance she’s sensitive to stainless. Any ideas?

greysmom Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I think it's just normal pigment changes through time. It seems to happen more with black and white and cow dogs. Our Lilly has spots that change all over her lips and mouth. Never any problems for her.

Good to know it is a natural occurrence. Quote Irene ~ Owned and Operated by Jenny (Jenny Rocks ~ 11/24/17) ~ JRo, Jenny from the Track Lola (AMF Won't Forget ~ 04/29/15 -07/22/19) - My girl.

cleptogrey Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 i had noticed that Lettuce's pigment was getting pink- i spoke w/ her breeders they suggest Sea Meal. Not a ton- but it seems to give her what she needs- black pigment is back. https://www.chewy.com/solid-gold-supplements-seameal-skin/dp/49210 it's not expensive, i would give it a try. her breeders have been around for over 30 years and stay pretty simple w/ supplements.
