Dogs noses are covered in a thicker layer of skin, similar to that on the bottoms of their paws. Since the skin is so thick they do not seem to be bothered by stinging nettles as much as they should be.

Yes, dogs can be stung by stinging nettles just like humans. The stinging hairs on the plant can cause irritation, redness, and discomfort if they come into contact with a dog's skin. It is important to keep an eye on your dog if they are near stinging nettles and seek veterinary advice if they show signs of a reaction.

Yes they can, Eyes, ears, nose and stomach/leg areas most prone. Where hair is heavy, would be difficult for the dog to be stung
