I have no idea - there's no medical reason for this. I would guess someone somewhere claimed this was a good "natural" or "herbal" remedy for something, although I will point out most vanilla extract is artificial and has no real vanilla in it.
This is also a pretty bad idea - the risk of inhaling the liquid and causing inflammation in the nose is pretty high. Also, dogs have very sensitive senses of smell - this is the equivalent of putting an air horn to your ear and hitting the button. This would cause a great deal of distress and irritation to your dog, and there's no reason to be mean to your dog like that.
Additional information:
It is not put on the nose, but some dog breeders have used a small dab of vanilla extract on a male dog's collar to keep him from getting too whiny and anxious from the scent of a nearby female who is in heat. They say it partially masks the scent of the female.
What else can I help you with?
Where would you buy vanilla extract to rub on a dog's nose?
Why would you want to do that? I am sure you know where to buy vanilla extract but rubbing it on a dogs nose would be ridiculous so I think this is another nonsense question and that is all that I see on this site. It doesn't hold a candle to the old ask. Com is the community of that was great and there were serious questions and good answers. This site appears to be a bunch of immature idiots wasting their time. If I am wrong please direct me to better questions
