Question
i have just become the new owner of a 2 year old male boxer dog and i have noticed that he has a dry nose should i be worried about this and is there anything i can do about this

Answer
Boxers do go through this is the summer months.

The very best thing you can do is dab olive oil on it off and on all day and night.

Do not petroleum (Vaseline) as they will lick and it is not good for them. Olive oil is the absolute best.

He will get over it in a few months, but in the meantime, the olive oil will alleviate the dryness.
