According to this article on dog noses: http://www.happyk-9.com/dog-nose.html it looks like you're probably pretty safe. It could be caused by plastic feeding bowls (switch to stainless steel), vitalgo (a condition that causes pigment loss, but doesn't appear to have any other symptoms) or just because of the cold weather. In any of these cases, looks like there's no real cause for alarm.

None of the dogs I've ever owned had this problem but I never fed them in plastic bowls either. I use those corning ware bowls for them.

I have a yellow lab, his nose turns black in the summer and then that same color you describe in the winter. I think it is a suntan or something.

I hear you about it being your kid...mine are both my kids. My human kid is in the Navy, so these are the stay at home kids.
BTW we refer to them as Deople (Dog-pEOPLE)
