My 9 y/o goldendoodles nose started losing pigment on the top last week. She’s acting normal and is healthy otherwise. Is this winter nose? Old age? Concerning?

Hello! I feel that this one merits a vet visit. Demodex or autoimmune diseases can both start to present like this and furthermore, changes in pigment on the nose can also reflect certain endocrine diseases, for example Addisons, and possibly some cancers. It is therefore a good early warning sign to look out for and act on.
