Why do some dogs have pink on the pads of their feet and some have black, or both?
I was wondering if you could tell me why some dogs have pink pads on their feet while others have black, or both?
Sure, I can answer that. The color of a dog's paw pads can indicate their breed, age, or even their overall health. However, the color can also vary based on the amount of melanin present in the dog's skin. Pink pads indicate a lack of pigmentation, while black pads indicate the presence of melanin. Some dogs may also have both pink and black pads, which is completely normal.
