Possible reasons why your dog’s nose is dry

After a long walk or active play, dogs often get tired and need more rest to recharge.

When your pup sleeps more, their noses might become dry, especially if it’s cold or they sleep near a heater at night.

Dogs can get a dry nose if they’re sensitive to things like pollen, dust, mites, or mold in the air.

If your dog is allergic to something around them and shows signs like sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, diarrhea, or vomiting, it’s a good idea to visit the vet.

Hot weather can make your dog’s nose dry, but it will become moist again when your dog drinks water.

Dogs can also get sunburned or have heat stroke in the summer.

To keep your dog safe, don’t take them out for too long when it’s hotter than 75°F.
