This is usually caused by the dog being sick. Normally, a dog's nose is moist. In order to maintain a sensitive sense of smell, the dog's nose only dries out when sleeping. If the dog’s nose is dry even though he hasn’t slept, it means the dog is sick. Parents should find out the cause of the disease and treat it as soon as possible.

Tip:

Canine distemper usually causes the dog’s nose and foot pads to become dry and cracked. When parents find that their dog has these symptoms, they must first rule out canine distemper.
