While Bloodhounds may get all the tv and movie glory, all of the many varieties of Coonhound are hard-working hounds! Generation after generation of breeding for maximum scenting ability has been hard-wired into your dog's DNA. Even more so than other dogs, your Coonhound MUST have his nose working at full sniffing power to feel his best.
Like many of the other Hounds, Coonhounds often have a bit of dryness, even a little crustiness around the nostrils. But, if your Coonhound's nose is covered with crusty layers of crud and it looks like layers of oyster shells or tiny porcupine quills it could be Nasal Hyperkeratosis. The good news is Nose Butter® works for all ranges of nose dryness. Coonhound Nose Butter moisturizes and nourishes your dog’s rough, dry nose. After a few days of Nose Butter usage, your dog will look better AND feel better. The physical benefits are apparent, but the psychological benefits are just as important.
With their genetics demanding full sniffing power, your Coonhound will be more confident, grounded, and secure if he is getting all the info he needs. A smooth, moist nose = happy, confident Coonhound.
