Dog Diseases

Since a dog’s normal body temperature is naturally higher than a human’s, recognizing a true fever can be challenging. Most healthy dogs have a temperature between 101°F and 102.5°F (38.3°C to 39.2°C), which would be considered a fever in people. Because of this, it’s not always obvious when a dog is unwell just by touch. Learning the common signs of fever—such as lethargy, loss of appetite, shivering, or warm ears—and knowing how to safely take your dog’s temperature with a digital rectal thermometer can help you detect problems early. 

An occasional sneeze is perfectly normal in dogs—but if it becomes frequent or intense, it could point to something more serious. From harmless irritants to underlying allergies or infections, excessive sneezing can have many causes. In this guide, we’ll explore why dogs sneeze, what’s considered normal, and what you can do to help minimize the sneezing.
