One of my dogs has had this happen but just with one nail (drew claw). His nails were light and this one has turned completely black. The vet said it was nothing to worry about in our case - he is now 16 mnths old and was about 14 months when it happened.

But if all the nails are turning a different colour I would get it checked out.

hmm, no idea, most of my dogs have white nails that have turned Black, like Happy had all white nails before, but now all her nails are black exept for 1 that is split down the middle, half white and half black. Mistys nails are going the same rout, though not as fast, hers are still mostly white.

No idea. Weird that they are changing now though? Zorro had all white nails until about 1 year they turned black. Which sucks cause I make him bleed everytime!
