There are a number of urban myths that relate the condition of a dog's nose to it's overall health - and they are all false. A dog can be sick or healthy with a dry nose or with a wet nose or with a cold nose.

How do you get a cats nose wet again?

put water on it or lick it yourself You don't want to lick it yourself because you could get sick and don't just pour water on their nose they will drown! Put a tiny, tiny, drop on there. Usually if the nose is dry and the cat cannot get it wet by itself and the nose is hot, the cat is sick and you should take it to the vet.
