Monitoring a dog’s temperature is a crucial aspect of maintaining their health and well-being. Deviations from the normal temperature range can indicate underlying health issues that require prompt attention.
The normal temperature range for dogs is between 101 and 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit (38.3 to 39.2 degrees Celsius). A temperature below 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 degrees Celsius) is considered hypothermia, while a temperature above 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) is considered hyperthermia, both of which require immediate veterinary attention.
