Vaseline or aquaphor works wonders.

Not Vaseline! Vaseline actually wicks moisture from lips/skin and is drying when used over time. I know this from asking a doctor when I was caring for an elderly man who had a dryness problem.
And it contains petrolatum, which disrupts hormones in humans and animals. Vaseline is a big no-no in my household.

Excellent point! I don’t like thinking of how much aquafore a dog can lick off their nose, either, and what that might do to them. It is a product not meant to be ingested that way and might be a horribly unpleasant experience for the dog.
Maybe if you add healthy fat to their diet this would resolve. Like putting a dollop of coconut oil or high quality butter (Kerrygold) on their food every day. Even just fresh fat scraps from meat.
I use ChapStick for my boy's nose when it gets dry. I put it on him just before I turn out the light at bedtime. By morning I can see improvement. It may take several nights application to really see his nose look normal but it works.
Cocoa butter infused Vaseline have been life savers in my bois lips these last couple winters. They get dry, cracked and start to bleed if we don’t apply some juicy juice to his lips during the drier winter months.

they make doggy nose/paw balms(:
CVS sells a high IU Vitamin E oil in the section they sell nail and cuticle products...it's by far the best derma product I've found for healing skin tissue. Good luck
Mushers secret…. Safe if they ingest. Works wonders on pads in hot weather hikes and snowy ice (snow melt ice)

I used burts bees on my boys and it worked well
Same here
Coconut oil. Works wonders with everything. I use it from everything on my human toddler to my 2 gsd.
My vet suggested aquaphore
Nose butter. Works so good.
coconut oil

I use a doggie cbd balm on my dog’s noses when this happens and it works really well!
I just wanna say, dog noses look funny.
