Why is my cat's nose dry?

It is natural for your cat to have a wet nose, so if you notice a dry nose, take note! It could be a sign of dehydration, a fever, an allergic reaction, or another medical condition.

Generally, it is not a significant cause for concern, so ensure your cat stays hydrated with plenty of water!

If you notice additional symptoms, such as lethargy, digestive upset, vomiting, or reduced appetite. In that case, it is wise to consult your veterinarian as it could be a sign of a health problem.
