dry nose
Moisture-lacking nasal passage
A dry nose is a nose lacking its normal moisture, whether in humans or animals.
In pets, especially dogs, a dry nose is often mistakenly thought to indicate illness, though healthy dogs frequently have dry noses.
In humans, dry nose may result from dry air, dehydration, or certain medications: The winter heating gave me a dry nose.
