A dog's normal body temperature typically ranges from 37.5 degrees Celsius to 39.2 degrees Celsius, with an average of approximately 38.3 degrees Celsius. The following is a more detailed introduction to canine body temperature:
Normal range : A dog's body temperature varies depending on individual differences and environmental conditions, but the normal range should be between 37.5 degrees Celsius and 39.2 degrees Celsius. Temperatures outside this range may indicate that the dog is sick or has other abnormal conditions.
Measurement method : A digital thermometer can be used to measure a dog's temperature rectally, through the ear, or through the mouth. Rectal measurement is the most accurate method.
Environmental factors : A dog's body temperature is affected by the ambient temperature, so the ambient temperature should be taken into account when measuring its body temperature. It is best to measure body temperature in a warm indoor environment.
Temperature changes when a dog is sick : When a dog is sick, its body temperature may rise or fall. Fever is a common symptom of illness and is usually accompanied by other symptoms such as loss of appetite and decreased activity.
Preventive measures : Keeping the dog's environment clean, providing adequate water and nutrition, and regularly checking its health can help prevent abnormal body temperature.
If your dog's temperature is outside the normal range or if it exhibits other abnormal symptoms, seek veterinary care immediately and follow the veterinarian's instructions for treatment. Timely detection and management of health problems can help maintain your dog's health and well-being.
