How do you measure a dog's temperature accurately and safely?

To measure a dog's temperature accurately and safely, use a digital thermometer designed for pets. Insert the thermometer into the dog's rectum and hold it in place for about one minute. Make sure to lubricate the thermometer with petroleum jelly for comfort. Normal temperature for dogs is around 100-102.5F. If you have any concerns or difficulties, consult a veterinarian for guidance.
