Natural Dog Company - Snout Soother | Dog Nose Balm for Chapped, Crusty and Dry Dog Noses, Organic, All Natural Ingredients 2oz/59ml Tin

My dog had been suffering from black crusty growths and feathers around the nose for six months. It started with just one growth and gradually worsened. The growths would eventually drop off and be replaced by new growths. Two months ago, I took my dog to the vet with a sample of growth that had dropped off. the vet said that she did not know what it was but that she could put the sample under the microscope. Total cost £61. The verdict was that there was nothing bacterial or fungal in the growths. Her only suggestion was to take a biopsy whilst my dog was under anesthesia which would cost several hundred pounds. I decided to surf the net and try and solve the problem myself before resorting to the vet’s suggestion. The growths were not causing my dog any discomfort and there were no other symptoms but they were worsening and looked unsightly. I first tried a homeopathic remedy for warts in case the problem was viral. This did not work, then in desperation, after further surfing on the net, I came across snout soother. I did not think that the problem could be dryness as the growths were at the edges of the nose, and surely the vet would have considered this possibility? However it was worth a try. I am on Day 6 and the problem has virtually gone. There was an improvement in 24 hours. It really is quite incredible. The product is lovely to apply. I just rub my ring finger gently in a circle in the product to warm it up and soften before applying. My dog doesnt like it being applied but I give her a treat immediately afterwards to stop her licking it off. One reviewer suggested that vaseline would work just as well. Maybe it would, but I doubt it .... this is a quality product with natural ingredients with a lighter texture and lovely gentle smell. I wish I had taken photos. Needless to say, I am changing my vet.

I’m not sure why I’m asked to rate ‘flavour’ as I haven’t tasted it! My dog has occasionally licked her nose after application though, and hasn’t complained. I can say this is the only ‘snout balm’ that actually works on my ancient French bulldog. She has had a very crusty nose in her later years and although Snout Soother is the most expensive product we’ve tried it is certainly easiest to apply, adheres well, and any built up ‘crusts’ usually soften and lift and can be carefully wiped off after about a week of daily application, revealing a “new nose”. I’ve now bought the biggest tin available and will use several times a week so the crusts don’t have chance to re-form. I recommend this product.

There is a herby like scent to this but our dog happily will let you put it on his nose. To reduce him licking it off before bed we pop a bit on the top of his paw (the fur) and he licks that instead of his nose. He gets excited now every night to have it applied.It took about a week with applications of three times a day to see the best improvement. We now apply just at night before bed. If we stop using the problem comes back within a day or two so it looks like it would be a on going treatment option if you didn’t explore the cause more with the vet like we are planning to do.We tried this option after the vet suggested coconut oil or Vaseline. While this did help this balm has been much better for our dog.As you see by the photos his nose was sore and splits. And the second photo is his nose with improvement. This hasn’t solved his issue but made him more comfortable until we find the cause.We have used a good amount of this but mainly due to adding more on so it sinks into his skin in case of him licking it off.There is a travel version that could be used as a trial in case you aren’t sure if it will treat the issue. But if Vaseline has some improvement then I believe this will also be beneficial.I’ve given 4 stars as for us it’s an on going daily treatment where as we would like the issue resolved if possible. The product itself has worked well.

Firstly I am a busy mummy so I never find the time to write a review but oh my god! This stuff is amazing I was hesitant to buy it because of the price as a single mum but After using coconut oil on my Frenchies nose For the past year, maybe it was just getting really bad and not working anymore I have used a little bit of this every day and the change in her nose was so quick by the end of day one I could see a difference and by day three Her nose is absolutely perfectly fine Literally cannot believe it It will hundred percent be a rebuy I think I’ve actually put it on repeat ! The pictures are three days apart

Excellent balm that absorbs quickly into the dog’s nose before they can lick it off . Our German Shepherd has had trouble with a cracked nose for weeks. This stuff is definitely making a big difference.

I would recommend this product to anyone who dogs suffer from dry noses. Do not be put off by the price as it’s worth the money. A small tin will last a long time as only a small amount needs to be applied.

Nice product. Used a couple of times on my dog, but results didn't really last and nose dried out a bit more then I liked. Now just use Vaseline.

My dog (American Cocker Spaniel) has had dry lumps and bumps forming on his nose for a few years. As they got worse I put it down to him getting old (almost nine now). One evening I randomly googled what this build up could be and found this product and it’s rave reviews. Figured I’d try it if it would make him more comfortable. I’m on day six and what was considerable build up is COMPLETELY gone! His nose is soft, smooth and moist to the touch once again! I applied three times a day and will probably drop that down to two going forward (each time I feed him so I don’t forget) to keep up his nose’s beautiful good looks. It’s taken years off him :)))))
