Bloody noses in dogs aren't terribly common, so you should take your dog into the vet to get checked out. Bloody noses might be caused by excessive dryness in your dog's nose, or they could signal something more serious. Especially since they're happening frequently, you should definitely go to a vet to have your dog examined.

Rocky mountain spotted fever, Von Willebrand's disease, Vitamin K deficiency, nasal tumors, poison consumption, and nose mites can all cause a dog to have a bloody nose. Monitor your dog to be sure that the bleeding stops after a few minutes. If the bleeding does not stop, see your veterinarian.

If your dog gets them alot, try making sure that it is not the dog's area that is causing the bloody nose. For instance touch the dog's nose and if it hurts, Make sure that your dog is not exposed to too much heat beacuse too much heat puts too much pressure in the air and causes nose nleeds.

You shouldn't be worried. Just grab an ice pack or something cold that will slow down the blood flow in his/her nose. After, visit your nearest veterinarian.
