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.
