The normal body temperature of dogs is divided into juvenile dogs and adult dogs. Generally, the normal body temperature of adult dogs is 37.5°C-38.7°C, and that of young dogs is 38.2°C-39.2°C. Generally, the body temperature of dogs is higher at night and lower in the morning, but it will not exceed 0.5 degrees Celsius.

Measuring the dog's body temperature when it is exercising or under stress will lead to high body temperature, so try to avoid such situations, and measure the body temperature after the dog is stable.

Three ways to measure your dog's temperature:

1. Anal temperature measurement method, that is, inserting a thermometer into the dog's rectum to measure body temperature. This method is more accurate, but the operation is more troublesome.

2. The hind leg temperature measurement method is to measure the temperature of the dog's hind leg armpit. The owner should reward the dog appropriately after completing the measurement.

3. Clinically, an ear thermometer is often used, and it can be placed on the pet's ear with a light touch.
