Sometimes Due to Excitement. That superior sense of smell is partly due to that moist layer, which helps absorb and hold scents. But Also Sonetimes "A runny nose could also indicate a health issue in a dog. Extra nasal discharge might indicate a serious underlying issue, such as an upper respiratory infection".

The inner lining of the dog's nose contains special glands that produce mucus to keep the nasal canals moist. A thin layer of mucus clings to the nostrils, enhancing the absorption of scent chemicals and improving the dog's ability to smell

Furries when active, they generally have very wet and cool noses. But when they’re asleep, it is also normal for them to be warm and dry. Anirudha, does your furbaby have a super wet nose/ dry and warm while sleeping?

Nose and footpads help furbabies to sweat, so this along with panting is important to them in hot weather. Also, they lick their noses frequently, like humans licking their lips, that also keeps their noses wet.

MUCUS A dog’s nose produces mucus naturally. This creates a thin coating over their nose which absorbs and holds scent particles.

LICKING Essentially, dogs smell through both their nose and mouth. To enable this, dogs are equipped with an extra olfactory instrument called the Dogs lick their nose because it secretes mucus which holds the scent particles, allowing them to have an increased sense of smell through the use of the Jacobson’s organ.

When they are outside, our dogs are here there and everywhere. They are constantly sticking their noses in grass, mud, plants, bushes, water and just about everything really.Therefore, they can pick up moisture along the way, causing them to have a moist nose.
