You can put lip balm on your dog's nose but just don't use too much lip balm on your dogs nose.

Also some lip balms contain the sweetener xylitol which can be toxic to dogs if ingested but as long as you put just a little bit of lip balm on the dogs nose they should be fine if they lick and ingest a tiny bit of the lip balm.

You can also use petroleum jelly or Vaseline on your dogs nose which is less toxic.

It's best to use a lip or nose balm with all natural ingredients.

They also make nose balm for dogs so that it contains all the proper and safe ingredients for dogs.

I have however used and still use regular lip balm on my dog's noses for years and they have not been harmed by it.

Coconut oil is another option to moisturize your dogs nose, as it is safe and healthy for dogs.

You can also try soaking your dogs nose with a warm, moist towel or cloth and then dab a bit of petroleum jelly onto their nose to keep it in good sniffing condition.

The benefits of coconut oil can be just as helpful for dogs as they are for humans.

Organic coconut oil (a key ingredient in many of our products) offers powerful moisturizing qualities for your dog's dry nose, skin, and hair.

Shea Butter is also safe for dogs and can be used on a dogs nose.

Just as humans use shea butter the shea butter can also be used just as safely and as well on dry dog skin.

Shea Butter is totally dog-safe when applied topically in small amounts.

Use the shea butter to soothe dry paws, noses, elbows, and other dry patches.

You can moisturize your hands and your dog's paws at the same time.
