My dog's nose is dry and cracked in the cold weather. Should I apply anything?

[]

Answer

A dry, cracked nose can be uncomfortable for your dog, especially in cold, dry conditions. You can try applying a pet-safe balm specifically designed for noses or paws. Ensure it's non-toxic as dogs often lick their noses. Avoid human lotions or Vaseline. If the cracking is severe, bleeding, or accompanied by other signs of illness, a vet check is a good idea to rule out underlying skin conditions or autoimmune issues. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
