'Collie Nose' problems may result from either one of two causes and don't just target Collies! The first cause is known as Discoid Lupus Erythematosus, which is an autoimmune disease that can eventually lead to squamous cell carcinoma if untreated. The second cause, Nasal Solar Dermatitis, is a lack of pigment at birth that can then lead to a gradual ulceration of the nose cells.

Have been using this product for about 3 weeks now, and no scabs on my boys nose ! After 2 years of creams and treatment, we’ve found one that works.

A great product
Almost three months ago, I adopted Lexi, a three-year-old sable border collie. A small area of her nose was pink and the vet diagnosed Collie Nose. She recommended applying Vaseline petroleum jelly daily, as an inexpensive treatment. I took the vet's advice but I was concerned about possible long term adverse effects of this mineral-based product given the fact that Lexi always licked her nose after I'd applied the jelly. An internet search led me to McDowell's Collie Nose Ointment and I have now been using this for almost two months. The pink area on Lexi's nose has slowly but steadily abated and has now almost disappeared completely. Lexi continues licking but I'm no longer concerned. I will continue to use the ointment to ensure her Collie Nose is kept well under control for the rest of Lexi's life. Thanks for a really good product!

Shetland Sheepdog, Dylan
Approximately two years ago, my male Shetland Sheepdog, Dylan, developed what was diagnosed as Discoid Lupus Erythmetosis (DLE), also known as Collie Nose. He was four-years-old. Although DLE usually appears at the top of the nose, he had it on the front of his nose, sides of his muzzle and on his chin. The front of his nose became smooth and turned a grey/pink color. He lost a lot of hair on the sides of his muzzle and his chin, and the skin was red and irritated.
My vet took a biopsy, which returned inconclusive for DLE, but the vet said that this is common, so he proceeded to treat him with antibiotics for three months and a topical steroid. It is felt that DLE is exacerbated by sunshine, so I put sunblock on the bad spots, but he licked most of it off.
This treatment made some improvement, but the condition was very persistent, so after about six months, I took him to the University of California at Davis Small Animal Veterinary Clinic. The vets there agreed that it must be DLE and continued the antibiotic, but added a topical antibiotic. This treatment, too, made some improvement, but none of the symptoms got very much better or went away.
Then, I turned to Herbal Treatments. I found the Collie Nose treatment on the web site and received the Special Maritime Pine Bark formula with liquorice, plus the Collie Nose Conditioning treatment. It took a few weeks, but Dylan started to improve and I was so happy. After six or so months, the skin isn't red anymore, the hair has grown back, the front of his nose is black again and the texture is more pebble-like. My vet says you'd never know he had experienced DLE.
