Sometimes, dogs skin can become dry and cracked just like people's skin. This is usually not a serious condition and can be remedied by applying olive or coconut oil daily.

They are dehydrated. If this happens get your dog some water. If your dog's nose becomes dry recently after they have drank water, they may be ill.

It can mean he's sick, just dehydrated or perfectly fine. It depends. I suggest contacting a vet as it could be due to your breed if dog.

Why is your dog's nose so dry?

Usually when a dog has a moist noise it means they are healthy. If he has a dry nose that might mean he is unhealthy or sick. But this is not in all cases. Dog's noses are wet because of the tear glandes that empty from their nose, so don't freak out if it is dry. If the weather is dry than your dog's nose may be dry. It could be that. If you are still worried you should consult your vet. He/she is your best answer.

Why does a dachshund get a dry nose?

The wetness and temperature of a dog's nose (of any breed) can change throughout the day, and that is perfectly normal. Dogs have wet noses because some of their tear glands empty into their noses. But if their nose is dry, that does not mean there is something wrong with the tear gland. Whether or not a dog is eating and playing normally is more of an indication of illness, than a wet or dry nose.
