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.

My Dog Nose It salve
By sunnygirl on Aug 26, 2021
The salve applies nicely but it makes my dogs nose scab and get crusty. I feel I'm just as good off using vaseline even though it offers no sun protection.

"My Dog Nose It", works!
By Rose on Jul 18, 2021
My dog's nose was so dry it was cracking and bleeding. After the first application of "My Dog Nose It", there was improvement and now it is all healed! My husband and I put it on our dog's nose everyday when the weather is dry.

Outstanding sun protection
By Geema on Jun 19, 2021
This balm is absolutely fantastic! It gives serious sun protection and also good for pups skin. I use it on our dogs’ noses which are white with vulnerable pink skin, and never any trace of sunburn! Highly recommend!

IT REALLY WORKS!
By Dbo1 on Nov 5, 2020
I’ve got a very large yellow lab. And over the past year his super cute red freckled nose has started cracking. This has worked well to help heal his nose cracks! My dog typically wants to lick it off, thinking I gave him a treat, so I have a treat ready right after application, so he won’t lick it completely off. I’m glad we found this product, so my cute lab can have his cute red with freckles nose healthy and protected! I’ve added a photo of my pup wearing the balm! I should have taken before and after photos. But, his nose is no longer all cracked. And that is most important! :)

Product states its natural but it contains OXYBENZONE !
By False on Jan 16, 2021
Product states its all natural but it contains OXYBENZONE as an active ingredient. The absolute worst ingredient in a sunscreen. This company should be ashamed.

Will always keep this on hand!
By Kassie on Aug 20, 2020
This stuff works great. It was a smaller container than I expected but a little bit goes a long way. It really does protect our pup’s nose from the sun. He spends a lot of time outside at doggy daycare, including pool time. If there’s a day we forget to apply it he comes home with a pink nose, otherwise we never notice any signs of sun. We have had this for about two months, use it a min of 3x a week and still have more than half the container left. We will always have this on hand!!

Absolutely Love It!
By HHHH on Jul 31, 2020
My dog doesn’t try to lick it when it’s on his nose and it stays put as well. It easily absorbs into his skin and is easy to apply/ work into his spots that have some sparse hair. I go on long walks with him and also bring him to the beach and for the first time ever, his nose doesn’t get extremely pink and irritated from the sun. The container is small enough as well that I can toss it in my bag for on the go reapplication. Highly recommend.
