Is Your Dog’s Dry Nose Hiding a Secret Health Warning You Can’t Afford to Miss?
Can I Put Vaseline® on My Dog?
A thin layer of a petroleum jelly-based ointment (like Vaseline) may be recommended if your dog has a cracked or dry nose or paw pads. The ointment helps seal in moisture and allows the skin to heal. Vaseline is not toxic to dogs, but if they eat too much it can cause an upset stomach, so ask your vet before using it. You can also use a warm moist cloth to soothe your pup’s nose or ask your vet if they recommend a dog-specific nose balm. However, for anything you put on the nose to be effective, you will need to prevent your dog from licking it off.
