Expert Answer

A puppy’s nose is normally black or pink, feeling slightly cool and a bit moist to the touch. Dogs lick their noses often to catch more scent and keep them damp and ventilated for a keen sense of smell.

If the nose is dry and feels hot, measure the puppy’s temperature; above 39.5 degrees C indicates a fever and a vet visit is needed.
