Until recently my dog had a black, shiny nose. Then one day I was horrified to see an ugly dry layer of scabby skin on his nose.
He did not seem to be in discomfort but surely, like humans with dry, cracked lips, it cannot be comfortable . I dug deep into my medicine chest and applied every cream, oil and balm on it but nothing worked. I found out the fancy name for condition is Nasal Hyperkeratosis. My vet said that it was something that happens with some dogs; and the dry tissue will slough out and the cracked skin will heal.
Weeks passed and nothing changed…until I tried Snout Soother, from the Natural Dog Company. It is chapstick for dogs, helping to prevent and treat dry or cracked noses. This miracle balm has done absolute wonders for his nose. In 7 days, his nose looked black, moist and healthy again, no scarring from the dry skin and cracking, nothing!
Day 1
Day 3
Day 7
We used it 3 x a day. His nose looked noticeably better in less than 24 hours. By day 7 the last of the dry cracked tissue flaked off. I wish I had bought Snout Soother sooner!
Snout Soother is made from 100% natural ingredients. And I actually recognise the names of each ingredient. I hate labels filled with chemical laden names that make no sense to me.
Snout Soother ingredient list:
Kukui Nut Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Coconut Oil, Chamomile, hempseed oil, shea nut butter, jojoba oil, Candelilla Wax, Natural Vitamin E, Rosemary Extract
The Natural Dog Company says it is also effective for dry and cracked paws and elbows. I have not used it for those purposes but I am sure it will work because it has also done wonders for my dry lips!
If you are unsure which size to buy, a little goes a long way. I bought the largest tin because the company recommends applying this balm regularly - much like how we apply sunscreen on our skin daily.
If your dog has a dry, crusty nose, buy this stuff, seriously! I have not been paid for this review nor am I receiving any kickbacks for this review. Just a happy dog owner wanting to share news of a great product!
