What is a dog or cat’s normal temperature?
Every dog or cat has it’s own normal temperature, however usually it is between 101 and 102 degrees. The reason we usually take your pet’s temperature early in the hospital visit is that nervousness or excitement can cause it to increase above normal. By seeing your pet for regular yearly examinations and keeping good records we can more easily determine what your pet’s “normal” temperature really is. Any temperature over 103 might be cause for concern.
