Does your dog have a dry or crusty nose? Dry dog noses can be caused by environmental issues (dry climate, winter heat), some medications, illnesses and breed pre-disposition. Dry dog noses can range from just a bit dry to a more extreme dryness, called nasal hyperkeratosis. Nasal hyperkeratosis is a condition that causes an overgrowth of crusty, wart-like tissue on your dog's nose. Dogs with extreme body types are often at risk; extremely flat-faced, big, small, bully, etc. While not life-threatening, it's uncomfortable, unattractive and can cause your dog stress. A healthy nose acts like flypaper to catch and hold scent particles on the damp surface of the nose. If your dog's nose is dry or rough the smells will not stick. Like sandpaper! This prevents your dog from getting all their canine info. Remember how frustrated you were the last time you had ZERO bars on your cellphone? That's how not being able to sniff feels for your dog. Nose Butter moisturizes and conditions your dog's dry nose with all natural good stuff, no matter the level of dryness. Our Every Dog Nose Butter is ideal for any breed or mixed breed of dog.
