Who Nose?
« on: March 14, 2007, 09:39:17 AM »
Excuse the bad pun in the subject line!

Have been thinking about this for a while now - Benji never has a very wet nose.
I've always been told that a healthy dog's nose would be 'moist' !

Thinking back he's always been this way (nearly 6 months old now) and had a check over with the vet when we got him 4 months ago who didn't mention anything..

Am I worrying unnecessarily? Are there different types of wet noses??!

Max's nose is rarely wet so when I was at the vets I asked the same question & was told that it's a myth & not to worry.
He told me that some breeds of dogs with smaller noses where the dogs can't easily lick their nose  :005: will never be moist  :huh:

Oh that's put my mind at rest then!

Just did a search through the forums (probably should have done that first  :embarassed:) and it appears that there are lots of Cockers with dry noses.

Thanks!

Ruffy's nose can be very dry, the vet said if it's really bad to rub a tiny wee drop of vaseline into it. Vahri usually has a nice moist wee snout  :D

Indy has a very cold wet nose, which she enjoys sticking in my butt crack whenever the opportunity presents itself.  :lol:

It makes squatting to pick things up a race, can I get it and stand up? Or will I get the cold nose treatment?
