Temperature

Normal temperature range for a dog is 100 to 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Because dogs regulate their temperature less efficiently than people do, there is more variation in "normal" temperature. Your dog's temperature will be higher just after exercise, on a hot day, while snuggled under a blanket, etc.

Dogs' temperatures are normally taken rectally. Try a digital read-out rectal thermometer, available at any drug store. Put a little Vaseline or KY Jelly on the tip, insert gently into the rectum (not too far), and hold for a minute or so. The digital model has a beeper that goes off when "done." The thermometer is easy to clean with soap & water or wipe with alcohol.
