Hey Reader,

If you've noticed your dog's nose becoming dry and crusty, don't worry.

As your dog ages, the chances of them experiencing a dry nose increases, but it's a common issue with various holistic solutions to help.

Should a Dog's Nose Be Wet or Dry?

A dog's nose fluctuates between wet and dry throughout the day. Wet noses are vital for scent capturing and regulating body temperature. However, a dry nose isn't always a cause for concern.

Dry noses can result from environmental factors, sunburn, exercise, sleep, age, breed, or allergies. It's essential to monitor your dog for other symptoms and consult with a holistic veterinarian if the dryness persists.

When treating a dog's dry nose, we recommend considering the underlying cause and using gentle, natural remedies.

Here are some effective treatments:

Hydration: Ensure your dog stays properly hydrated by providing fresh water at all times.

Humidifier: Maintain a comfortable humidity level in your home to benefit your dog's nose and skin.
​
​Pet-safe Moisturizer: Apply a dog-safe balm or moisturizer to alleviate dryness and prevent cracking.

Natural Remedies: Soothe and moisturize your dog's nose with coconut oil or aloe vera.

Sun Protection: Protect your dog's sensitive skin with pet-safe sunscreen.

Address Allergies: Work with your holistic veterinarian to identify allergens and reduce exposure.

Regular Check-ups: Schedule regular check-ups with your holistic veterinarian to identify and address any underlying health issues.

Bonus Tip: Omega-6 Fatty Acid Deficiency and Black Currant Seed Oil

A deficiency in omega-6 fatty acids can cause dry, crusty noses in senior dogs. Black currant seed oil, rich in omega-6 fatty acids, is a natural and effective way to address this deficiency.

Give your dog the appropriate dosage orally or apply the oil topically to their nose. With consistent use, you'll notice improvements in your dog's nose within a few weeks.
