๐พ Myth or Fact: A dry nose means your dog is sick? ๐ค
๐ Myth!
A dry nose doesnโt necessarily mean your pup is unwell. A dogโs nose can change from wet to dry (and back again) throughout the day โ often depending on temperature, humidity, or even how much theyโve been napping! ๐ด
A healthy dog can have a dry nose, and a sick dog can have a wet one. What really matters are other signs, such as:
๐ถ Changes in appetite or energy
๐ถ Coughing, sneezing, or discharge
๐ถ Vomiting, diarrhea, or unusual behavior
If you ever notice something off about your dog, or their nose looks cracked, crusty, or discolored, itโs always best to check in with your veterinarian. ๐
