How can a human thermometer be used to accurately measure a dog's temperature?

To accurately measure a dog's temperature using a human thermometer, it is important to use a digital thermometer with a flexible tip. The thermometer should be inserted gently into the dog's rectum about 1-2 inches for about 1 minute. The normal temperature for a dog is around 100-102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. It is recommended to use a separate thermometer for your dog to avoid spreading germs.
