is his dish plastic? Or any plastic toys? Might be allergic.

Robert, if you are referring to your puppy's nose slowly fading from black to pink in a sort of stripe from the center of the nose out, I think your puppy has what is commonly referred to as a "snow nose". It will fill in when the days get longer. As gsherwood said, it's from a lack of sunshine. Zinc won't help, mother nature will take care of it for you at no cost.

I had a couple of dogs in the past who would get a snow nose every winter. It is a temporary condition but does not look so good.
Is there a (healthy) way to prevent this?
Hey Blitzen, should we send these dogs to the tanning bed? Just kidding.

LOL, Chris, that would probably do it. Every winter I could always count on one or two getting a snow nose, not always the same ones from year to year either. The sleddog people think nothing of it, it's just part of the cold weather. I've only heard of it happening to kennel dogs, so maybe keeping a dog inside might prevent a snow nose, not sure.
