Dry nose problems are common in this majestic breed, as they are in most of the Giant/Mastiff breeds.
Dogue dry noses can range from a bit of dryness to the more extreme Nasal Hyperkeratosis. If your Dogue de Bordeaux's nose looks like oyster shells, with layers of crust and scabby skin, your Dogue may have Nasal Hyperkeratosis (info in tabs below). The good news is Dogue de Bordeaux Nose Butter® works on your big dog’s nose, no matter how dry.
Bliss Bit! Back in 1989 one of the best movies ever made was released, Turner & Hooch. Tom Hanks and Beasley (who got robbed at Oscar time) starred in this classic. This movie was featured on a flight I was on to Germany and the flight attendants had to walk up and down the aisles dispensing tissues to the sniffling passengers. Beasley, that gold statue should have been yours!
One more! Did you know Henry Winkler was the original director for Turner and Hooch, but got the boot after less than two weeks. In 1993, Henry Winkler claimed he “got along better with Hooch than I did with Turner”. -Kathy
