That is not true and the best to explain that phenomenon is wet nose means that the air is plenty humid, when it’s muggy outside your dog’s nose gets wet. If the climate is too dry, so will be your dog’s nose. Another one is that people say if your dog nose is hot it might have fever. You should know that dog nose temperature changes based on the environment. If the ambiance is warm your dog will be warm too and its nose and vice versa. If you want to know your dog temperature you should get a thermometer with cover and insert it anally into your dog. Note that the normal dog’s temperature is 100.5 to 101.5 degrees F.
