It's closed like FT Knox. I need to use it and cannot open it. I've tried a screwdriver, vice grips and nothing. Can you package this better. Give me a hint to open it, or please replace it. It's a wonderful product if you can open the tin.
We are so, so sorry you've had trouble with one of our tins. We have been fighting an ongoing battle with all of the various tin manufacturers we have used on this very issue. We even double-check to be sure no one tightened a tin too much. Everyone who touches the tins is a middle-aged woman. I promise we do not have strapping Minnesota farm boys tightening the tins.
What we have determined is that very now and then, due to temperatures or even air pressure changes, there can be some expansion of the product that ends in making it hard to open. We don't want to switch to plastic or glass, but we are aware of this and working on it! We're popping a slightly loosened tin in the mail today Let us know how that works!
Once again, our apologies for the frustration. At 68, after 30+ years of being glued to my Mac, I keep scissors and a box cutter everywhere I may need to get into something. Unfortunately, neither works on tins! But, I do so feel your frustration.
Blissfully,
Kathy
I have been using Pug (fawn) nose butter for a year or so on my daughter's senior pug Rocco (aka as Tootie, amongst other things, lol) and it has worked perfectly! Previously she was using petroleum jelly oin him which is a big no-no! Very pleased i stumbled across this product. Thanks, guys :-)
My golden retriever lays on the fireplace…it’s cement…we noticed both elbows with no hair and areas reddened and kind of scaly…we used your product and within days his elbows were healed!! He still lays on the fireplace but I have put a carpet there so gentle on his elbows! Thanks for such a great product!
Dear Kathy,
I am writing to let you know that my Big Dog Gunner has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He was my 9 1/2 years old English Mastiff. I am donating my most recent order to the local shelter. I have used your products for several years. The nose, paw, and elbow butters worked amazing well! No more dry crusty nose for Gunner. The ear cleaner was one of my favorite products. The smell is very pleasing and does a great job cleaning out the yuck. I would highly recommend your products to anyone with a fur baby in their family. As heartbroken as I am to no longer have Gunner by my side, I know he is no longer suffering and has reunited with his kitty cat sister Lily. Thank you. Cathleen Holtzlander
This really works great! I put the tin in my pocket and then use it at least once a day. I always give them a treat afterwards! I have to watch the other dogs so I can get it on quick enough but it melts so nice & fast they can’t get to it in time! Yay! I think I’m going to have to buy more this time because I lost our tin! I can’t find it anywhere and we’ve had it for 2 years! I’m looking over the other great things I know my 4 boxers can use. Thank you for making such a great product!
After a recent vet visit I noticed Pilly's nose was looking dry and cracked. I started looking at nose balm and discovered Blissful Dog Pug Nose Butter. The butter arrived quickly and it arrived with clear instructions and some great tips to distract and treat Pilly whenever I applied the nose butter. It worked like a charm and her nose looks great, it's not all cracked and dry anymore, and she looks like a million bucks. Thank you!!
You should change the name of this to "knock-out ". After a rub down/ear massage Sy is out for the count. Nothing bothers her. Im so excited to try the Focus next. I have a feeling I will not be disappointed. I can't wait to see the difference in her attention span when we train again. I am so pleased with what I've purchased thus far. Everything has shipped super quick, arrives nicely packed. My only regret is I don't know more people with dogs to rave too about your products.
So disappointed wasting money on other butters and oils. Sy's feet were so bad, this stuff worked miracles. Thanks for providing a product that actually does what it says it will do. We couldn't be more grateful. You certainly have a returning customer here.
i forgot to take a before photo…but my tibetan mastiff’s nose healed right up in three days after applying a touch of the nose butter…thanks so much
Our dog has separation anxiety. We've tried any number of solutions. Relax/Blissful Dog works great!! We are so appreciative!!
Our eight and half year old E.Springer Spaniel suffers from nasal granularmatosis. We treat it with steroidal cream in the AM & a healthy dose of nasal butter in the PM. It seems to keep her nose almost normal. The moisture & lubrication in the butter seem to help keep Abigail's nose almost normal except for some lost pigment. A very useful product & we plan to continue the regime.

I noticed my Brussels Griffon has "crusties" on her nose. After a quick search, found out it was hyperkeratosis, a pretty common condition that BGs can get. I ordered Blissful Dog Nose Butter on the recommendation of another BG owner. While waiting on it's arrival (about 3 days) I rubbed some Castor Oil on her nose. Then I used the Blissful Dog Nose Butter for 5 days. The crusties are completely gone! But my BG still comes for her "makeup" every evening! LOL! Emailed pics.
Love all the Blissful dog products. This is great with my dogs and all their allergy issues. Love the scent also.
This nose butter is amazing! After a few uses my cocker spaniels nose was completely healed. I’ll keep this for future use and highly recommend to others.
My Bichon literally runs towards me when I pull out his booboo butter. Can definitely tell the difference in his skin and paws. We’re def gonna buy again once we’re out. 10/10
We learned our frenchie has dermatitis, and we're searching for something to bring him some relief. We bought the bye bye boo boo kit and it has been amazing for him. He has stopped scratching himself again the carpet, and excessively licking his paws. The butter also helped with the raw skin in his face folds. The Blissful Dog has helped save the day!! Thank goodness for your company coming up in our Google search.
This was the first thing I read this morning and oh, my goodness I am so, so very happy! Thank you for taking the time to share how well your Frenchie boy is doing! Over the decades (YIKES) I had Frenchies I can remember a couple that gave me fits. I wish I had started Blissful Dog by then. Results like this are what make me jump up to get to our offices everyday. I've been having some computer snafus and your review came on a perfect day!
If it is ok, I will share a few things that I found worked for me with my Frenchies. Nothing carved in stone, not going against anything your vet may have recommended...just sharing my experiences from one Frenchie lover to another. Here goes - Food is one thing that is hard to get right but critical to their skin health. We found chicken just did not work for Frenchies (no offense to any chicken folks here, just sharing). We have fed both a beef-based food and fish-based and IMHO I feel fish is best. There are several great fish foods out there, check Chewy or whereever you shop. We even fed canned mackeral as a treat or topper.
As you know, someone, somewhere online will pop up and say fish, Mackeral, anything is (fill in the blank with horrible stories), I am sharing my personal results after years of trial and error. My fervent wish is you get that sweetie back to 100% and looking and feeling Frenchie Fabulous! We are thrilled to be a part of his feeling better. You absolutely made my day!
Blissfully,
Kathy
Love the packaging love the smell of the shampoo and conditioner, and the Deodorizing spray. The only things the dogs didn’t like was the nose balm, but I think it’s because they’re little noses are so sensitive to smell. Other than that Everything I bought was absolutely wonderful.
Did you know that The Blissful Dog started because my Frenchies had dry noses? For over 20 years I put Nose Butter on French Bulldog noses - some loved it, others did not care and a few hated the process. I Don't think it was they hated Nose Butter, but they hated the process. Many Frenchies don't like to be held tightly, restrained in any or have their faces messed with. Applying Nose Butter can involve all those steps.
For the ones who resist, try these steps...
#1 - Warm Nose BUtter before application. Pop in pocket or bra for a bit or rub it in your palm to soften it for application.
#2 - Let them stand up, like a horse getting new shoes. Then hold the side of their face and quickly dab the butter on
#3 - Stay Calm! It helps, I swear!
#4 - Treats and praise after application
Below is a link to more info, tips and tricks! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to address these concerns!
