My friend said to me one day " I'm sweating like a dog", and then I asked him, "Do dogs even sweat?" We were both clueless

Dogs, cats and mice have sweat glands on their feet. Dogs pant when they are hot because their sweat glands are not sufficient to cool down their bodies. In addition, their tongues allow the water from their bodies to evaporate and cool down their bodies.

When a dog is hot, it will help him to cool down if he can get his feet wet.

Dogs do not sweat. They have no sweat glands in their bodys. They must pant to bring cool air into their bodys to cool off.

Dogs do not actually sweat...when u see a dog panting it shows that they are 'sweating'....the panting is their way of cooling down by evaporating through their mouths...

To the best of my knowledge dogs have no sweat glands, they cool themselves by panting.

they do sweat a little. around what we consider the ankle. but for the most part, they get rid of body heat by panting.
