why is my dogs head so hot some times?

Question

I tuch is head and it is hot and about 5 minuts or so it's fine

Answer 1

Dog body temperatures are different from ours they run at about 101 degrees Fahrenheit. There are also large muscles in the head of dogs they heat up with exercise like chewing. this is perfectly normal don't be alarmed. Another thing is dogs do not sweat like we do the regulate they're body temperatures with panting.

Answer 2

Assuming your dog does not have a fever, which you might want to check (anything over 102 for dogs), I have read that dogs heads get warm after eating or chewing on something. Why? I don't know. I have noticed this pattern in my own dog, though. His head is always warm after eating, etc. Perhaps it is from standing with his head down to eat, and a lot of blood rushed to his head? That is the best I can think of. But check your dog's overall body heat, and take its temperature, rectally, with a thermometer.
Regards,

If your dogs head is hot usually it's because he's been in a lot of sun if it's a cold day it shouldn't be hot When he pants you can also tell he is hot I don't know if their is anything to cure it but your dog is fine

Answer 4

I'm not sure maybe his head is hot from the heat or from playing out side.

Answer 5

Heh, that happens to my dog sometimes, too ... she's 10 years old and it's been happening all her life so I've always just assumed it's - well - just something that happens sometimes, no big deal. I figure it occurs when she's been thinking hard ;)
