Monitoring your puppy’s temperature is a crucial aspect of ensuring their health and well-being. A puppy’s normal temperature range is between 101F (38.3C) and 102.5F (39.2C). Deviations from this range can indicate an underlying health issue that requires prompt veterinary attention.
Checking your puppy’s temperature is a simple and straightforward process. You will need a rectal thermometer specifically designed for animals. Gently insert the lubricated thermometer into your puppy’s rectum for about one minute, or until the thermometer beeps. The digital display will show your puppy’s temperature.
