Can some one please tell me why some dogs have dry noses.
Even when they are healthy, my first love (grandmothers dog) had a nose like a biscuit.
Once a dog bit his nose and just took a chunk out of it.
His nose stayed like that all his life.
He was a well loved/fed dog.
Why the dry nose, he lived to be 17+ 1/2.

Thank you for the link, very interesting.
Jazmin has a moist nose.
My first love Paddy has been gone, but not forgot for 43years.

Now I know what to look for.

Good thread and link...It's always good to know what might be happening with your shep.

Bruni has shown no signs of being poorly, and the vet has seen her twice and said use vassaline. Having read thro, i will get her checked again, as it has flared up. im wondering if one of her new plastic toys may have aggravated it...
