Why does my dog need this?
Because pets can get skin cancer too!Just like how we humans use SPF to stay away from skin cancer, our pets can also get the same cancers like basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and even melanoma.While basal cell carcinoma is the most common for humans it is the least common for dogs. Theirs is the more invasive; the squamous and melanoma.And yes, our furry friends are often covered in, well, fur! This does act as natural sun protection for most breeds and most of a dogs body. But what about the tummy, ears, and especially the nose? That’s where taking the proactive action of limiting your dogs exposure to the sun and protecting them with a sunscreen come in.But that doesn’t mean human sunscreen either! Human sunscreen blocks UVA and UVB rays using chemicals, like Zinc Oxide and Titanium Oxide. These are safe for humans but not on pets! The chemicals are toxic and can even be fatal if ingested! Even baby sunscreens can contain chemicals that are harmful to your pets. So please only use products that are meant for your pet, like My Dog Nose It!
How Many Dogs Really Get Skin Cancer?
This is uncharted territory folks. We’ve contacted the American Cancer Society and statistics on pets are, by their knowledge, not yet tracked. What we do know? That it’s on the rise. For humans, current statistics indicate that 1 in 5 people will have some form of skin cancer in their lifetime. Perhaps statistics for animals will be available in the near future.
Why is human sunscreen bad for my pet?
PLEASE do not apply human sunscreen to your pet. Most ingredients, while safe for humans, are very poisonous for our beloved family members. DON’T USE SUNSCREEN ON YOUR PETS!
Is this product safe for my pet?
Yes! My Dog Nose It is completely safe for your beloved family member! You can even take a look at our full ingredient list under our shop and order now section of this website. It not only shows each active and inactive ingredient but also details where it is derived from and what it is used for. My Dog Nose It is proud to be all natural, vegan, cruelty and paraben free.
How often does My Dog Nose It need to be applied?
When playing outdoors or in the water we recommend applying a thin layer every two hours.
What’s the texture like?
My Dog Nose It is a clear, velvety smooth balm that dries quickly and is water resistant.
Can I use the product on myself?
Out and about with your buddy and forgot your lip balm or lotion? Yes, go ahead and protect yourself too.
What is the SPF?
We did not use an SPF number as we do not want to associate with human sunscreen. Our product is designed to protect from the harmful rays of the sun and environment, as well as heal and add moisture.

Works as expected
By HettysMom on Jun 22, 2020
This worked perfectly. We have a 5 month old puppy with very short white hair and her little snoot was getting burnt on the days that she goes to Day Care. We wanted her to be able to enjoy her fun with friends. We've been using for a week and her nose is healed and she is no longer coming home from daycare with a sunburn.

My Dog HATES it
By Bill on May 25, 2020
My dog sees this tiny pot coming a mile away, and when putting it on his nose, it's like fighting Cujo = that dog from the movies that goes crazy. I have tried putting it on my lips and then kissing his nose with it on, and he is now wise to this. He hates this so much. So, there must be something in it, I can't smell or taste that he does. Moving on to the next product I can find that is safe for him. I can't recommend this for my dog.

Didn't realize it was grainy..
By Julianna on May 22, 2020
I was so excited about this product. I expect it to be smooth and easy to spread onto my dogs nose/ ears, etc. However, I was genuinely surprised to find out that this small little container was hard to apply due to the fact that it had so much granularity. I would have to say that I closely resembles foot scrub with the little beads in it. This made it difficult to wipe on my dog as it wasn't smooth/ creamy. I wish I would have known this.. I could have gotten the spray.

Something that finally works!
By Chelsea on Apr 21, 2020
I have a pitbull/shar pei mix with very sensitive skin. His poor little nose burns and peels when he’s outside with us for any length of time. We tried doggie sunscreen, coconut oil, and nothing worked. I saw this product had good reviews and even though it was rather pricey for the small container I had to try something. It works! It’s almost like a paste and it seems like it should last a while even though it’s a small container. I reapply it every two hours or so when he’s outdoors with us and his nose hasn’t burned or peeled since I started using it. I would recommend this product if you also have a dog with sensitive skin that is burning from the sun.

Definitely recommend
By Jessica on May 17, 2020
So I’ve been using other products on my dogs nose and nothing was really working I decided to give this product a try and instantly within a couple days his nose started getting better. I have an American Bulldog and he’s an outdoor dog and I’m definitely buying it again..the container looks pretty small but it goes a long way

Protected my dog's snout
By Brittany on Jun 10, 2020
My dog's snout usually gets pink sunburn after a day at the park, but when I used this she didn't! Works great, but expensive for such a tiny bottle. It's a balm you rub on your finger and then onto nose.

For Sun Bathers
By ZoeysMom on Jul 1, 2020
This goes on smooth & absorbes quickly. My dog loves the sun & i cant keep her away from it. This helps keep her from getting burned.

Terrific for puppies
By dogg on Jul 2, 2020
Fantastic for young soft vulnerable skin. Even a walk around the block burned our little guy's nose before this. Would highly recommend.

No sunscreen in it
By Gigi on Jun 11, 2020
This product might be good for other issues but there is no sunscreen protection in balm. I wouldn't recommend this product. I was disappointed.

i needed a good sunscreen for Asa because he has DLE on his lips and it didnt work as good as i hoped. i think i need one with a high uv protectant.
