Nose Butter..What The Heck?

Once upon a time, in a land so far far away, Minnesota, I mixed a batch of pure, unrefined Shea Butter with some essential oils and slathered it on my itchy, dry summer feet and legs. I trotted into my office and sat down in front of my trusty Mac. The next thing I knew a horde of leg licking, toe tickling French Bulldogs were attacking every inch that had been buttered! It tickled, yet felt strangely good, hmmm, I digress. Anyway, the creaky wheels began to turn and the light bulb popped on! “Hey, I bet this would be good for their noses!” I exclaimed! Not quite a EUREKA moment, but close.
Before you could say greased Frenchie, I had added some Vitamin E Oil, a healthy dash of lavender therapeutic grade essential oils (Young Living, of course) and a spritz of Blissful Dog Vibrational Essences (just for extra love). I was soon buttering up every nose I saw. Even the ones that loathe having anything done to them ran forward to get buttered up. THEY LOVED IT!
After the amazing successful of our Frenchie Nose Butter, we felt compelled to branch out into other breeds. It would just be wrong to not let other flat faced dogs have soft, pliant nose leathers.

It seems to me like,if the dogs like the taste of it so much,what prevents them from licking it off their nose? my dogs nose is SO dry and cracked and e wont keep anything on it long enough for it to heal.

The shea butter soaks in very quickly and gets to work. Plus, most people put it on their dog’s nose and then give them a cookie or chew treat and that way, the dog is distracted and the Nose Butter soaks in even more.
