They mainly cool down by panting, but they do sweat a little from the pads of their paws.

Dogs have the ability to sweat, but in places that are a little different from humans. Dogs sweat through their pads and feet. Their skin and armpit areas don't contain sweat glands like ours do. Their main method of ridding themselves from heat is by panting.

There is some minimal sweating under the arm pits but it's the panting that really helps the dog lose body heat. My dachshund gets very damp smelly armpits in the summer and we have to use powder to help her keep dry!

No, dogs do not sweat. Instead, as you said, they pant to cool down.

They do sweat through their pads on their paws and their noses. Although their main way of cooling is to pant

Yes, but only on the pads of their feet. Otherwise, panting is the only way to cool down quickly
