Is Your Dog’s Dry Nose Hiding a Secret Health Warning You Can’t Afford to Miss?
Why Is My Dog’s Nose Cold?
A dog’s nose can change temperature throughout the day. It’s common for a dog’s nose to be a few degrees cooler when the air temperature is fairly warm. Likewise, when the ambient temperature is cold, dogs’ noses tend to be a bit warmer. Since there’s no fur covering the skin on their nose, when dogs lick their noses in hot weather, the added moisture dissipates heat (cools the nose) as it evaporates — the same way sweat works in humans. So, if the weather is hot, this might be why you’re noticing a cold nose on your dog.
