The dry nose of the golden retriever may be caused by sleeping or being sick. A normal golden retriever's nose is always moist except when sleeping. If parents find that the golden retriever has not slept but the nose is dry, it is probably sick. At this time, the golden retriever will also have other physical conditions, such as not eating or drinking, being depressed, etc. Parents should take them to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

Tip:

A dry and cracked nose and thick runny nose are typical symptoms of canine distemper. If parents have not vaccinated their golden retrievers, it is best to test for canine distemper virus.
