Like humans, dogs can also suffer from fever. In fact, a fever is often considered the first indicator for most diseases affecting dogs. If the fever is undetected, and left untreated, it can lead to serious health consequences.
Some people have tried to use the human ear thermometers on their dogs, but they will not produce reliable readings, due to the way they are calibrated and the different shapes of the ear canal of a dog. Ear thermometers for dogs are invasive and difficult to use at best – and very expensive at worst.
The normal temperature range for a dog is (in degrees Fahrenheit) 101-102.5. Up until now, the only way to check for fever in a dog at home was by touching the inside of the ears or the nose of a dog – guesswork at best. The only reliable way to determine fever, however, is by taking the dog’s temperature.
