Hi everyone,

could someone perhaps advise on this matter. I’ve recently adopted this dog but I’ve noticed this strange pattern on her fur. Does anyone know what this be?

There are breeds that naturally have similar mottled patterns on their coats, but there are also several pathogenic causes. Is the skin under the spots red, inflammed or flaky?

Hi!

no he skin is fine underneath, she’s not itching either. It looks like her fur is becoming lighter for some reason but I’m not sure what’s causing it.

it also seems like the fur that’s changing is softer

With a recent adoption, it could be as simple as new hair growth coming in smoother because of better nutrition, or losing some of their winter coat if they're coming in from living primarily outside.
