Taking Your Pet’s Temperature

Nervousness and exercise causes body temperature to rise as will excess heat and infections. Temperatures below normal are caused by exposure to cold weather but also by shock. Wherever possible use a digital thermometer as they are the most accurate as well as being easy to read.

Temperature Range

A cat or dog’s normal temperature is between 100.5 and 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

Firstly use K-Y jelly to lubricate the thermometer before inserting with a slight rotating action in your pet’s rectum.

Secondly hold the thermometer and the base of your pet’s tail and wait 90 seconds.

Lastly disinfect the thermometer after use.

Important

If your pet shows distress then Do Not try to take your pet’s temperature, as you could harm your pet. Also nervousness can cause your pets’ body temperature to rise therefore potentially giving an inaccurate reading
