A dry or cracked nose isn’t always a problem — some dogs naturally have dry noses, especially after sleeping or in dry weather. But if you’re seeing cracking, bleeding, or scabbing, that’s when it’s worth looking closer.You can apply a pet-safe nose balm 1–2 times daily (like Snout Soother or paw balm). Avoid human moisturisers - they’re often toxic to dogs.Other things to check:Is your dog lying in the sun often? He may be getting sunburn.Does the dryness come and go with certain foods? Could be allergies.Are there changes in behaviour or energy? That’s when we start considering autoimmune conditions or infections.If you’d like a second opinion, we’re happy to take a look. You can book a quick video consult with Dial A Vet and we’ll let you know if treatment’s needed or not.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
