Why does my pug's nose get dry and then wet again? Is it normal?

A dry or wet nose means nothing. Throughout the day his nose may go through periods or dry and wet. Monitor for discharge, lethargy or difficulty breathing. If he is eating, drinking and acting normally then he is likely fine.

I think this sounds normal. As long as Oreo is not sneezing and does not have any nasal discharge I think he is just fine. Whether or not the nose being cold, wet or dry being an indication of illness is an old wives tale. As long as he is acting normally I would not worry about it. Just monitor Oreo for any signs of illness and if you notice any you should take him to your vet at that time for an exam. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. There is nothing wrong with a dry nose! This is a previous misconception that dry noses are unhealthy due to previously high incidences of Distemper. However, a dry nose is not of concern, and does not mean that Bruno is sick! As long as Bruno is acting normally - eating/drinking/urinating/defecating normally, I would not be concerned. I hope this is helpful!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is actually not necessarily accurate. This does not necessarily mean that he is dehydrated or sick in any way. If he is doing well otherwise, you can just have him evaluated at the time of your appointment on Wednesday. Enjoy your pup! Have a great day!

It's normal for a cat to have a wet nose! It can go from wet and cold to dry and warm just by laying in the sun or next to a heat source. The temperature and humidity in a room or the outdoors can influence a cat's nose to be wet or dry. Unless you are seeing excess discharge from Uli's nose, I would not worry about it :-)

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Corel. Yes dogs can get colds, but a dry nose does not mean they are not feeling good. A dog's nose can go from wet to dry just by laying in the sun or near a heat source. Two signs that a dog isn't feeling well is a decrease or lack of appetite, and lethargy. I hope this helps!

Although a picture would help us to provide more specific answers, dry nose without any other sign is not related to any pathological problem. This is not an indication of dehydration. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
