Our dog got a cut on his snout while retrieving a ball from under our fence. The cut is small and already has stopped bleeding. What is recommended to put on the cut.

I do not recommend putting anything on the snout, most dogs have a very long tongue that will get to whatever you put on the snout within 5 seconds. it doesn't sounds like a serious injury, just leave it as it is , it will heal within a few days.
