Sometimes yes and sometimes no. When a dog first wakes up, it's nose is usually dry. When a dog is dehydrated, it's nose is dry. If a dog has a fever, it's nose is dry. Make sure you are feeding your dog enough water and watch his/her energy level & appetite to make sure it's normal. Check the nose again after normal amounts of food, water and activity - it should be wet.

Ur dog is not feeling very well, when the nose is dry, & or warm, the nose when wet & cold, is a healthy sign, just could be an upset stomach.

Not always, it could mean he has just woken up too. A dogs nose os often dry then as obviously it doesnt get licked during sleep!

No. If a dogs nose is really hot or like us he could get a runny nose and sneeze alot thats when they are sick.

Not necessarily. It would be something to look at if you saw other symptoms and thought he was sick, but the nose isn't a single good indicator of health.

I have heard people say this.... But my dog has a dry or wet nose and she is not sick.... maybe they are sick but they fight it off.... nothing to worry about unless they dont eat, drink, always tired and puking.

Not necessarily. If the dog is acting differently and vomiting or has diarrhea then you should take it to the vet. If not, then there is probably nothing wrong.
