My dog's gums are pink. Is that normal? Why is her head hair thinning?

Question

I have no paid much attention to my dogs gums before but looked today and I am not sure if this color is normal for her gums. She is also balding on her head and I am not sure if this is due to her age or not. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 40 lbs

This looks like a normal color for gums. They should be pink. The thinned hair may just be him aging but if it is itching or if there are any scabs or getting worse, I would have your vet take a look to ensure it doesn’t need any treatment. I hope this helps!
