What is the best cure for dry nose?

[Starkie]

Walley-Bubba's nose is a bit dry lately and could be better...any suggestions please?

 

[Donnam]

Vaseline? Coconut oil? Just guessing

I use Aquaphor… it has the same consistency as vaseline, but it seems to help heal cracked skin faster. I take a warm washcloth and rub the dry skin off, then dry it and put on the ointment.

^^^^^ yep!

I also use Mushers Secret... keep both in the house so I always have one available

Thanks everyone.
I used warm water facecloth got the loose bits as said.
We only had Bliztex and it seems to have worked.
He didn't like the whole process and no doubt, he will get even with me soon enough.
But he still has love in his eyes for me, see

All the product everyone listed above work well, just find the one you want to use, also Bert's Bees nose and pad lotion works well too.

Everyone above has given you great advice, and anyone of the products mentioned will work, as well as Vaseline, Berts Bees, or Coconut Oil. Bulldozers nose is also very dry often because of his allergies, and because of his jaw defect, he can't close his mouth, so he breathes through his mouth and causes dry nose as well.

Thanks for the helpful advice everyone.
Looks like WB and I will be driving The Awesome Powar over to PetCo, PetFoodExpress and PetSmart later this morning.
This little expedition will help kill the time while Molley-Maids clean the house.
Thanks again.

*edit* we got the Berts Bees...and a big ole antler since he was so good at the store (he's chomping it now and is very protective of it ).

I tried Coconut Oil with the same result so it is Aquaphor now. It's the go to stuff in our house for humans and dogs alike, great stuff.

That's what I do. It really helps!

yup, he knows not to bite the hand that feeds him.

Walley Bubba is now doing great with:
a) a daily face cloth soaked in warm water wiping the folds and also his nose which is losing some of the scabbiness
b) Berts Bees
What blows me away is that he actually seems to like the warm face cloth and he is also less of a fight when it's time to apply the Berts Bees.
What an amazing change lately, he used to be really horrible before, playing hide-and-seek, snarling, roaring, jerking, being awful.
I guess he knows I'm only trying to help him be comfortable and I won't hurt him in any way.
