Why would a dog’s nails turn black?

One of them is an infection caused by bacteria or a fungus. If this is the case, topical medications can be used for treatment. If the infection is more severe, the dog may require a course of oral antibiotics or other medication. Another reason for black-colored nails can just be hyperpigmentation and genetics.

Why does my dog have some black nails and some white?

Now sometimes they can be a medical reason for the different colored nails, such as a fungal infection, so it’s always good to have Archie checked out by a vet just to be sure.
