American Staffordshire Terrier Nose Butter® Moisturizes Their Dry Nose

The American Staffordshire Terrier is a strong, smart and sadly, often misunderstood breed. Sometimes confused with their smaller cousins, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the Am Staff (as they are often called) are their own unique breed. Like many of their bully cousins, the American Staffordshire Terrier often has a tendency toward dry nose issues. Your American Staffordshire Terrier may have a dry nose with just a bit of crustiness or the dryness may be a more extreme version, a condition called Nasal Hyperkeratosis. (complete info on Nasal Hyperkeratosis below)

Why A Healthy Nose Is Important To Your American Staffordshire Terrier

Your dog's ancestors were used to capture wild boars and control bulls. Ok, let’s stop and think about that…they tracked, chased, and cornered WILD BOARS. Have you ever seen wild boars on the Discovery Channel? And subdue bulls…BULLS! Bulls AND wild boars! Having a moist nose allows your dog to attract airborne smells and process the info. This gives them the tools needed to guard and protect their family. If your dog can't get important scent info they may become anxious, less confident, and edgy.

Plus, you never know when a wild boar or bull will need to be captured and subdued.

Nose Butter Moisturizes Your Dog's Dry, Chapped Nose

Does Your Dog Have a Rough, Dry Nose?

Dry dog noses can be just a tiny bit dry to the extremely dry nasal hyperkeratosis.

Your dog's dry nose can be caused lack of humidity, some illnesses, even medications or stress. Yes, breed or breed type can also be a major cause. Bully and Flat-faced dog breeds are the most susceptical.

The extreme dry nose, Nasal Hyperkeratosis, is an idiopathic condition (medical speak no idea why) that causes nose tissue to cover the nose in layers of scabby, skin crust.

The Good News is Nose Butter® works on ALL levels of dog nose dryness from a tiny bit to extreme cases of Nasal Hyperkeratosis. We've got your dog's nose covered, read on and learn the whys and how-tos.

Nasal Hyperkeratosis & Dog Breeds

While any dog can have Nasal Hyperkeratosis, our research shows a strong correlation between dog breed or breed type and a predisposition to Nasal Hyperkeratosis. There may also be an immune system factor.

Dogs with extreme body types seem to be the most affected.

• Extremely flat-faced
• Extremely bully-bodied
• Extremely loose jowls
• Extreme amount of facial folds
• Extremely large
• Extremely small

#1 Tip - For quicker absorption warm Nose Butter prior to using
• To warm; stick in your pocket, bra, or scoop some out & warm in palm (see image)
• Open the tin or tube
• Gently control your dog's face (side of face or under their chin)
• Avoid head-locks - that's a trigger for many dogs
• Tag Team - have someone hold & you apply
• (Tin) Scoop a bit out appropriate to the size of your dog’s nose
• Dab it on their nose
• Rub it in a bit, you do not have to rub it in completely as it melts quickly, especially if warm
• Distract to keep them from licking or rubbing it off
• Repeat 2-3x a day for 1-3 days or until nose is back in shape
• Then use as needed for maintenance (usually 1-2x a week)

• Apply 2-3x a day (do the best you can, 2-3x a day is the goal)
• After 2-3 days of multiple daily applications, gently rub the nose with tissue and see if it easily crumbles off
• If it does NOT crumble right off (it will look like black, greasy dirt), keep applying Nose Butter 2-3x a day until it easily, without picking, comes off
• Resist the urge to pick as tempting as it may be, it hurts and will make the process harder

The crusty stuff is actually skin and hurts your dog if you pick it off, just like us pulling a scab off a skinned knee too soon.

• Give a cookie or treat before, during and after application
• Cuddles, pets, repeat as needed
• Feed their dinner (with extra yummies)
• Play your dog's fave game
• Throw a ball
• Go for a walk
• Pet them, lavish praise on them for their overall good dog-ness
• TIP! Not only does something positive (like cookies) take their mind off having something done to them, they soon equate Nose Butter with treats.

Ouch! That hurt! It's not that your dog loathes Nose Butter (we hope not), they probably DO dislike being held tightly.

Being held in a WWE head-lock is a huge trigger for most dogs. If possible, allow them to stand while you apply Nose Butter and be quick

Additionally, flat-faced dogs will fight and struggle to protect their already hindered ability to breathe.

Toy breeds know they are small and will often put up an unbelievable tussle to get away when they feel over-powered.

Dogs are often triggered by being held tightly. This may come from when they were puppies. Puppy play involves a lot of wrestling and play-fight. It's not fun for dogs (or us) to have siblings pile on, hold us down and make us feel helpless. (I'm looking at my three sisters).

Stay relaxed and positive and be very generous with treats and your dog will soon enjoy, or tolerate, Nose Butter time.

The Bad News is there is no CURE for Nasal Hyperkeratosis, it is a condition and usually life-long.

If you stop using Nose Butter, the dryness and crust will probably come back.

The Good News is maintenance usage of Nose Butter keeps the Nasal Hyperkeratosis under control.

Nose Butter can help heal the dry nose, but doesn't cure the condition. Yes, it's semantics, but it helps make it clear.

When our hands are really cracked and dry we apply lotion to get them in shape, but we can't slather lotion on our hands once and be moisturized for life.

Like cutting your dog's toenails...Nose Butter is part of their health care regimen.

Amazing, worked like wonders on our dog’s nose!

A Super Sniffer Restored

My dog Dart competes in AKC Scent Work. Last year he started developing hyperkeratosis and I was concerned that it, especially the dryness, would affect his scenting proficiency. I consulted with my vet, who recommended Blissful Dog Nose Butter. I gave it a try and saw improvement within weeks. Now, a year later, his nose is completely normal and moist and leading him towards his Detective Title! I apply just a little every day and will always do so! One of the best parts about Blissful Dog Nose Butter is that it doesn't contain any essential oils used in scent work or nose work that would interfere with our training. I even use it on his elbows with good results, as the product labeled for that does have oils I can't use. But the Nose Butter does it all! Big thanks from me and my super sniffer for a great product that keeps him at his best!

Fabulous results

My Saint Bernard has had trouble with a dry, cracked nose. Nose Butter is a miracle. His nose looks great. Black, shiny, soft! This is a truly wonderful product. Thank you 😊

The only thing that worked!

Love this product. My Dutch Shepherd suddenly began experiencing a very dry nose; his was cracking, flaking, layering, and sometimes bleeding. It was painful for him. My vet said it was likely immune mediated and recommended Bag Balm. Bag Balm did not help, nor did Vitamin E cream or oil, beeswax, olive oil, 3 other brands of canine nose balm, or avocado butter. I stumbled across The Blissful Dog, and I am so glad I did! Within two days, my dog's nose was remarkably improved. Within 3 days, chunks and flakes of unhealthy skin fell off my dog's nose, revealing new, healthy skin beneath. Within a week, the months-long issue was completely gone. My shepherd does not excessively lick this product, either. What a stellar product! Literally the only thing that helped my poor pup's nose. I will be a loyal patron of the Blissful Dog from here on out. Thank you!!!

Springer Spaniel Nose Butter

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.

Works great for hyperkeratosis (nose crusties)

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.
