​1. Sick

Not licking for a long time is one of the reasons why Chow Chows have dry noses when they are sick. Just like when people are sick, we may not care about washing our faces or brushing our teeth because of physical discomfort. Chow Chows are not interested in this when they are sick. Therefore, fever in Chow Chow dogs is one of the reasons for dry noses in Chow Chow dogs. Because the body temperature rises and the nose is not licked, the nose will become dry more easily. One of the main symptoms in the early stage of a fatal disease like canine distemper is a dry nose, which is also accompanied by dry and cracked pads on the paws.

2. Skin diseases

Pet Encyclopedia (baike.ixiupet.com) reminds you that it is autumn recently, and the climate has become a lot drier. Many owners will find that their dogs have lost a small piece of hair on both sides of their mouths, and their noses are also very dry. But the mental appetite is very good. The vet said it was most likely mites that caused a skin disease in the Chow Chow.

However, it is normal for a Chow Chow to have a dry nose under the following circumstances:

1. When the Chow Chow just wakes up from sleep. Because it doesn't lick its nose when sleeping, it will naturally be dry when it wakes up. Parents, don't be nervous.

2. Sometimes when exercising, the Chow Chow will not lick its nose because it is too excited. In this case, the nose will also be dry.

To choose a healthy Chow Chow, dog owners should know how to observe its physical health. You must know that these are the things that owners should pay attention to during the purchase process. The moister its nose, the better. If the owners find that their nose is dry, they need to determine whether their body is healthy. It would be a good idea to take them for a physical examination.
