What's this on my dogs nose

Thank you for reaching out with your question! I understand how concerning it can be to notice something unusual on your dog's nose. There are a few possibilities we can consider.



First, it could be a simple scratch or minor injury, especially if your dog is curious and tends to explore with their nose. Alternatively, it might be a skin infection or irritation, which can happen from allergies or coming into contact with something irritating.



Another possibility is a growth or mole, which can be benign but is worth monitoring. In some cases, nasal conditions can be more serious, like autoimmune disorders or tumors, though these are less common.



At home, you can gently clean the area with lukewarm water and keep an eye out for changes. Avoid applying any human creams or ointments unless advised by a vet. Watch for signs that would need a professional's attention, like swelling, bleeding, or if your dog seems in pain or discomfort.



If the area doesn’t improve in a few days or you notice any concerning signs, it would be a good idea to get it checked out. You can easily book a video consult with Dial A Vet to discuss this further and get more personalized advice!
