: Browning of Black Fur

Hi All,

Rocky's fur seems to be turning brownish.  You really notice it when he is outside.  Has anyone else noticed this in their black dane?  A friend of mine said she sort of remembered reading that it could be a deficiency of some sort.  Any ideas?

i was told if they spend a lot of time outside, it's called sun bleaching, and just from exposure to the sun.

Yep it is exposure to the sun on black coats
Here in  Az you see it alot on dogs with black coats sometimes even turning redish brown.
