my dogs nose is cold and wet is that bad?

Answer 1

A cold, wet nose or a warm, dry one is most often is a result of air temperature and humidity. This alone is not usually a sign of illness.

More reliable indicators are:
your pet's attitude
activity level
appetite and water consumption
urination and defecation
weight changes
fur or haircoat

Answer 2

Many people throughout history have believed that if a dog’s nose is dry, then the pet is sick. They thought that the main sign of a healthy dog is a good wet, sloppy nose. This simply is not true. A wet nose simply means that the air is plenty humid. Just like anything else, when it’s humid outside, your dog’s nose gets wet. If the weather is overly dry, so will be your dog’s nose.

Another misconception is that you can tell how your dog is feeling by touching its nose. If your dog’s nose is hot, then it might have a fever. But if it’s cool, it’s feeling just fine. But this is not accurate. Again, a dog’s nose temperature changes based on the environment. If it’s warm where your dog is, your dog’s nose will be warm. If it’s cold, your dog’s nose will be colder.

If you want to take your pet’s temperature, the only way to do it is rectally. Take a normal thermometer with a cover and insert it anally into your pet. A normal dog’s temperature is 100.5 to 102.5 degrees F.
