i have a 5 year old tricolor beagle.
the brown parts of her coat appear to be fading.
what used to be dark brown has now become a light tan.
the ends of her ears are especially whitish.
this is so weird!

she's getting older... it's almost the same as when human's hair goes grey or white. it's happening to my dog, too, don't worry. his muzzle used to be black and now it's almost a salt-and-pepper.

it may be because you shower it too much. giving a dog too many baths will irritate its skin, mess up its coat, and fade its hair color so you should only give it a bath once every maybe 2 to 4 weeks depending on how dirty it is.

It could always be age, dogs age just like we do but if he isn't that old so I suppose it could be litter-box powder rubbing off on his coat. Check with a vet if you are worried.

He is aging, getting old, a senior citizen. They grow old just like we do.

feed your dog a raw egg it will make his coat shiny and it will get his old color back without getting him sick.
