• Distract to keep them from licking (see below)
• Repeat 2-3x a day for 1-3 days or until nose is back in shape
• Then use as needed for maintenance (usually 1-2x a week)

How To Apply Nose Butter in Tubes

• Warm product before application for faster absorption
• To warm; stick in your pocket, bra, or scoop some out & warm in palm

• Swipe/dab across the top of the nose, like applying lip balm
• Rub in if your dog has a tendency to lick
• Distract to keep them from licking (see below)

Tips for Distracting Your Dog After Application

• Give a cookie or treat
• Feed their dinner (with extra yummies)
• Play your dog's fave game
• Throw a ball
• Go for a walk
• Pet them, lavish praise for their overall good dog-ness
• TIP! Not only does something positive (cookies) take their mind off having something done to them, it also build an association between GOOD STUFF and NOSE BUTTER application.

For Extremely Dry, Crusty, Cracked Noses

• Apply as outlined above
• After 2-3 days of multiple daily application, test the crusty stuff with a bit of tissue and see if it will rub off
• If it does NOT crumble right off (it will look like black, greasy dirt), keep applying NOSE BUTTER 2-3x a day until it easily, without picking, comes off. Resist the urge to pick as tempting as it may be
• The crusty stuff is actually skin and hurts your dog if you pick it off, just like us pulling a scab off a skinned knee too soon.
