The dog, the faithful companion of man, accompanies us through countless happy moments. As a common pet in our daily life, it is particularly important to understand its physical condition, especially normal body temperature, for dog health management and daily care. So, what is the normal body temperature for a dog? 
First of all, we need to understand that the normal range of body temperature will vary depending on age and physiological state. The body temperature of an adult dog is usually 375 °C to 390°C, while puppies have a slightly higher body temperature, usually at 385 °C to 395 °C. On a day-to-day basis, the body temperature is lower in the morning and slightly higher in the afternoon, although this fluctuation generally does not exceed 1°C. 
It is important to note that some large dog breeds or specially trained dog breeds, such as police dogs, guide dogs, etc., may have an increase in temperature while working or under certain circumstances, which is normal. In addition, when the dog is excited, nervous, or has just finished exercising, the body temperature will also rise. 
So, how do you measure a dog's temperature? When measuring, we can use a special veterinary thermometer or a medical thermometer. Clamp the thermometer tightly in the dog's ** to a depth of about 3 to 4 cm. Take care to make sure that the thermometer does not touch the rectal wall so as not to affect the accuracy of the measurement. It is best to calm the dog's emotions and let it be quiet before taking the measurement. If the dog is not used to or does not cooperate with the measurement, it may be necessary to ask a veterinarian to assist in doing so. 
In conclusion, knowing the normal body temperature range of dogs and how to properly measure body temperature is of great significance for timely detection and response to health problems in dogs. Once you find that your dog's body temperature is abnormally elevated or continues to be abnormal, you should contact your veterinarian for an examination and **.
