In general, a wet nose for most breeds is the norm, but for some dogs a wet nose can signal other health conditions. It’s best to find out from your vet when you first get your dog whether the dog should have a wet, dry or somewhere in between kind of nose. A wet nose for some could signal allergies or a cold. Dogs with a runny nose may be running a fever so it’s important to take the dog’s temperature. Most dogs have a wet nose because the nose secretes thin layers of mucous to absorb scent. The dog then licks the nose to decipher the scent. Some dogs even sweat through their nose which is why the nose is wet. If your dog doesn’t usually have a wet nose and all of the sudden it’s wet then give your vet Helotes, TX a call.
