Dogs have wet noses even when they don't sweat. Animals, like cats and dogs, have wet noses for a reason. Their wet nose acts like an air coniditioner for their brain. The air they breathe out is actually cooler than the air they breather in.
Some animals will pant to cool off while some will get in water. The majority of wildlife aren't active during the hottest part of the day. You have to look at each species individually. Mammals, like the walrus, can be preyed upon easily. If you chase them for awhile they will have to stop. Due to all of their blubber they can only run for a certain distance because they will overheat. Knowing the region an animal lives in will give an indication of how they handle temperature. Mammals that live in arctic or some other cold region will have a thicker layer of fur or thick skin. The opposite would apply for animals living in other regions. The fur of an animal can also help to trap air which can cool them off.

Dogs pant in order to cool down, it has nothing to do with their wet nose. Other animals eithor sweat similar to humans, or they too pant like dogs.

warm-blooded animals sweat or pant to loose heat by water evaporation. They can also cool off by moving into a shaded area or by getting wet

This is the same technique I have taught over 138,000 men and women in 157 countries to successfully treat their excessive sweating condition over the past 7 years!

Pigs and horses sweat; but most animals pant to get rid of excess body heat.

canines and cats the two have sweat glands on their ft. maximum canines cool themselves by way of panting. Pigs do no longer sweat, and want airborne dirt and mud baths to alter their temps. desire this facilitates.

dogs don't have sweat glands so they don't sweat. their noses are just naturally wet.
