I just noticed that on my oldest Pyr. It's not noticeable but * can see it. I think in my dogs case it's from the sun. He loves to sit outside and I think he gets sunburned. What I was going to do is get some sort of suntan lotion with that zinc oxide stuff in it so the sun can't reach his nose. I'm pretty sure it'll work. Lanolin has worked great to heal it up, but lanolin doesn't help as a sun block.
