When we ask ourselves why my dog has a dry nose, we should not be alarmed, but we must take different factors into account.
It may be that our dog sometimes has a dry snout for an indeterminate time and maybe small dry cracks appear on it. It is not a matter of worrying, we must observe it and make sure that he does not lack water, eats well and that his behavior is correct.
Common reasons for a dry out snout.
It can be affected by sun, wind, heat or excessive exercise, however dogs often lick their snout and under normal conditions keep it in a state of relative humidity. In contrast, being under extreme temperatures or a situation of tiredness or exhaustion, would require careful attention in case they need help to return to normality.
Yes, they need our help.
When we observe that our pet has had a dry and cracked snout for some time, we have to start thinking that it is a symptom of something, it does not have to be serious, but it may need our intervention to get this back to normal by performing basic care such as washing its nose with soap and water very carefully, drying it with gauze and applying a little moisturizer or Vaseline to the area.
You have to keep watching.
If the dryness and cracks in our dog’s snout persist, it could be a related pathology so it’s immune system should be strengthened, it’s food changed and it should be given a good vitamin and protein supplement to try solving the problem. If we see that it continues to persist and that it is also accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, and malaise in our dog, we should take it to a vet to be examined.
