Is Your Dog’s Dry Nose Hiding a Secret Health Warning You Can’t Afford to Miss?

What Can Cause a Dog’s Dry Nose?

There are a number of reasons why your dog could have a dry nose that don’t involve illness. For example, you may notice that your dog has a dry nose after a nap. Dogs keep their noses moist by licking them, and since sleeping dogs don’t normally lick themselves, their nose can dry out while they’re in dreamland. Usually they will start licking it when they wake up so you should notice that their dry nose becomes moist once they’re up and at ’em again.

Some dogs may have a dry nose because they don’t lick it as much as other dogs do. Similarly, some dogs, especially brachycephalic breeds (dogs with short snouts) like pugs, bulldogs and Boston terriers, have trouble licking their nose due to the shape of their heads. So their noses may be dryer than other dog breeds.
