It is not the best method of measuring body temperature. Dogs don't sweat to reduce their body heat, but they evaporate water they breath out through their mouth to reduce temperature (panting) This means that the mouth temperature is constantly changing depending on whether the dog is panting. It is more accurate to take temperature from inside the anus.
