why do dogs have cold and wet noses?

Question

my dogs are like that right now. is this normal?

Answer 1

Yes that is normal.
The time i worry about them is when its really runny or really warm.
A wet, runny nose is a sign of trouble and should be checked out by a veterinarian. By the way, a normal moist nose doesn't always mean a dog is healthy; if your dog has a moist nose but seems lethargic, or in discomfort or pain, consult your vet.
Conversely, a dry nose doesn't always signal illness. Dogs just waking from sleep often have a warm, relatively dry nose. And, some dogs, like bulldogs, just have dry noses that even chap and crack.
If you see a nasal discharge, swelling, or detect unpleasant odors emanating from your dog's nose, or if he has difficulty breathing, get him checked out right away. It could mean the presence of a foreign object, tumor or infection.

Answer 2

It's as natural in a dog as humans have arms and legs. All dogs are born with cold. wet noses. However, there are many theories of why.

One is that it helps cool the dog off. Another is that is makes the dog more sensitive to odors. And the last is that dogs simply lick their noses a bunch.

Answer 3

It is normal because that is sweat from the dogs body. It is some kind a extension of panting.

Answer 4

Worrie about it when it's dry, very normal to have it wet...
