If a dog has a warm or a wet nose, that does not necessarily mean that it is sick. This is a common fallacy. Many people believe that a dog's nose should always be cold and wet. However, a dog's nose does not always have to be cold and wet. After resting, sleeping, or just lying around the house being lazy all day, a dog's nose is often warm and dry. This is especially true if the dog has not recently licked or used his nose for anything.
If the dog's nose is constantly warm and dry, this may indicate that something may not be right with its nose and you should consider taking the dog into a vet for evaluation. A vet will be able to determine if the dog's warm dry nose is normal or not.
Generally, a dog with a warm, dry nose is not a sick dog.

If a dog's nose is warm but moist is he sick?
Well, it depends. The warm nose is just a result of the dog not licking his/her nose. Nobody really "nose" why dogs and cats lick their noses. All people know is that that is a sign of a healthy pet. Sometimes dogs just don't lick their noses. So, I would probably track your dog's health over the next few days. If it stays dry, take him/her to the vet.

The coldness or dampness of a dog's nose is an indication of his activity level and it's not about his health condition. When dogs have been active their nose will turn cold and wet. When dogs are sleeping or resting, their noses will feel warm and a bit dry. To know if a dog is sick, you need to take it's temperature.
