My 9 year old dog has a very crusty , dry nose, any advice on what to do?  Thanks

My friends springers nose is like this and his owner said it was allergies, pollen, like hayfever, and he has piriton every day which helps.

i would take him to the vet - and get them to investigate further - it could be an infection.

Gari's nose is dry and crusty, he is on Piriton for allergies and I was advised to put Vaseline or E45 on it.

I used to put vaseline on my last cocker's nose, it worked brilliantly, when I could stop her licking it off!

Paddy's dry crusty nose was as a result of allergies -piriton and an anti-allergy diet, plus wiping his face and ears with a damp flannel after walks to remove pollen all helped.

Kali had this as a result of hayfever.  I too used Vaseline on her which I found invaluable for keeping the nose from drying out.
