Is Your Dog’s Dry Nose Hiding a Secret Health Warning You Can’t Afford to Miss?
Dehydration can be another reason your dog has a dry nose. There are many causes of dehydration in dogs, including not drinking enough water on a hot day or after exercise, and from vomiting or diarrhea if they’re sick. Dog owners can tell if their canine companion is dehydrated by making a skin tent. Gently pull up on the skin at the nape of your dog’s neck. If your dog is hydrated, the skin should immediately snap back into place. If they’re dehydrated, the skin will take longer to return to its original shape. If in doubt, check with your vet because severe dehydration can lead to serious health issues.
