Dog Nose Lotion: What To Know, & Best Options
What Is Dog Nose Lotion?
Dog nose lotion has a creamy texture similar to moisturiser, and it usually comes in a cylinder container.
The lotion should be formulated for the pH of a dog’s skin.
What Is Dog Nose Lotion Used For?
Dog nose lotion is used mainly to moisturise and restore dry, and damaged skin on your dog’s snout and nose.
It can be used to deliver moisture back to dry skin, or to help repair cracked, flaked, chapped and crusty skin.
Similar dog nose repair type products are dog nose balms, moisturisers/creams and butters.
How To Apply Dog Nose Lotion?
Follow the instructions on the label of the lotion you buy.
But usually, you take a simple fingertip full of lotion, spread it on your fingers, and apply it to the dry parts of your dog’s snout or nose skin.
Try not to get any inside your dog’s nose, and make sure that when you apply it, that it is done evenly and the lotion absorbs into the skin.
Types of Dog Nose Lotion
Among the dog nose lotions available, they are all generally pretty similar.
There’s been a change towards chemical free lotions that don’t harm your dog’s skin.
