Does a dry nose mean my dog is sick?
The Short Answer
Myth.
A warm or dry nose is not a reliable fever indicator. It changes with sleep, hydration, and air humidity. Rely on other symptoms like lethargy.
Fever Check
The only accurate way to check temperature is a rectal thermometer (Normal: 101-102.5°F).
