A dog's normal body temperature range is 37.5°C - 39.2°C (99.5°F -102.5°F). Generally speaking, the ideal range for a dog's body temperature is 38.0℃ - 39.0℃ (100.5°F - 102.5°F).


Please note that dogs of different breeds, ages, and in different environments may have slightly different body temperature ranges. In addition, the dog's body temperature will also be affected by factors such as time, diet, activity and health, so multiple measurements need to be taken and judged in combination with other examination results.


If you find that your dog's body temperature is outside the normal range, it is recommended that you seek medical advice promptly or seek advice from a veterinarian to determine whether your dog is suffering from disease and take appropriate treatment measures.
