Bulldog Dry Noses – What Causes This & How To Get Rid Of It + More!
What Causes Your Bulldogs Dry NoseMany dogs have a certain level of a dry nose. This can be caused by low household humidity levels, living in an arid climate, certain medications and illnesses or breed predisposition. But, if your Bulldogs nose is covered with layers of dry crust they may have extreme dryness condition called Nasal Hyperkeratosis. Nasal Hyperkeratosis is a nose tissue overgrowth that causes their nose to be covered with layers of overgrown crusty tissue. While not life-threatening, this condition can affect your dogs mental, emotional and physical health. The good news is Nose Butter works on all levels of dryness. |
Bulldogs and Nasal Hyperkeratosis PredispositionBreeds such as Bulldogs, Boxers, Border Collies, French Bulldogs, Pugs, Mastiffs, German Shepherds and more breeds and mixes are susceptible to nose dryness. Our research has led us to believe Nasal Hyperkeratosis is an expression of a slightly depressed immune system. Many of the breeds prone to this condition are extreme in one or more ways. Extremely flat-faced, bully, small, large, heavy boned or chunky bodied breeds all seem to have a predisposition to nasal dryness. Bulldogs tick most of those boxes, of course. That said, your Bulldog does not have to live with a dry, crusty nose. Nose Butter has been moisturizing Bully noses for over 15 years, see the happy Bulldog above. |
