Many dogs have noses that are a bit dry or chapped.
A basic dry nose can be environmental; low humidity (either your home or the area), arid climate. Dry noses often get worse in the winter as heating systems are used more.
Some medications can cause dry noses, especially for liver conditions.
Plus, there are a host of dog health concerns that can cause various degrees of nose problems; lupus, collie nose, husky nose, cocker nose and nasal hyperkeratosis.
Our research has led us to believe Nasal Hyperkeratosis is brought on by a slightly depressed immiune system. We've also seen dogs that are extreme in some way; extremely flat-faced, extremely large, extremely small, extremely heavy bodied or bully.
Many breeds also fall into more than one of the above categories. Bulldogs are extremely flat-faced and extremely bully-bodied.
Nasal Hyperkeratosis is the extremely dry version of a dry dog nose. Any breed and any dog can develop it, but there are a few characteristics or circumstances that can trigger the dry nose.
Nasal Hyperkeratosist is an idiopathic condition (idiopathic-fancy talk for don't have a clue what causes it). This condition causes your dog's nose to become dry, crusty and even cracked.
Bad News first. Nasal Hyperkeratosis is a condition, which means it may or may not be curable. The likelihood is it is a lifetime issue for dogs.
Good News now. Nose Butter® soothes and moisturizes your dog's nose back to a healthy state. Regular maintenance usage then keeps it under control.
For some dogs Nose Butter® becomes part of their health maintenance, like cutting toenails or cleaning ears.
