dogs regulate their body temperature by hanging their tongue to out . why?

Answer 1

Dogs don't have sweat glands. As you know, when humans sweat, the sweat evaporates, cooling our skin, which helps regulate our temperature. Dogs, to regulate the temperature, pant

Answer 2

Dogs actually regulate their body temp by panting, since they have very few sweat glands and can't cool by evaporation like we do. When they are panting hard, they hang their tongues out because it enlarges the opening at the back of their mouth, allowing them to move more air in and out. The more air they move, the more heat is dissipated. In cool or cold weather, they breathe through their long noses, which warm the cold air before it gets to their lungs so they don't lose too much heat by breathing.

Answer 3

The evaporation from their tongue cools the entire body. It also shows that it's important to make sure a dog has as much fresh water as they want to drink, to help their cooling system not overheat! Also, standing in water, like a puddle or wading pool, can help cool them through the pads of their feet.
