What is the normal body temperature of dogs?

Clinical research measurements show that the normal body temperature of dogs is around 38-39 degrees. The body temperature of young dogs may be higher, such as 38.5 degrees. Around 38 degrees, the body temperature of adult dogs is generally around 38 degrees. Of course, there are sometimes exceptions, but these situations last for a short time, and the dog's body temperature can quickly return to normal. For example, when a pet dog has just finished strenuous exercise or is in a state of nervous excitement, its body temperature will rise a little, but when the dog returns to calmness, the body temperature will return to normal.

How high is a dog’s fever?

In daily life, when a dog has a fever, his mental state will be depressed and his nose will become dry or red. When you measure the body temperature with a thermometer, it may exceed 39 degrees, and when the dog's body temperature is higher than 39 degrees for a long time, it means that the dog has a fever. It is not a trivial matter for a pet dog to have a fever. We should rush the dog to the hospital for examination and treatment without delaying the treatment time.
