Detailed explanation-1: -Dogs have two types of sweat glands: merocrine glands, which are similar to human sweat glands, and apocrine glands. Merocrine glands are located in dogs’ paw pads. Sweating through their paws helps dogs cool down.
Detailed explanation-2: -The primary cooling mechanism for dogs is panting. By breathing air quickly over the wet surfaces of the inner mouth and lungs, the dog’s pants accelerate evaporative cooling in much the same way that a breeze across a sweaty person’s skin speeds up cooling.
Detailed explanation-3: -Merocrine Sweat glands which are located in your dogs paw pads and on the nose function similar to human sweat glands. They only produce only a tiny amount of sweat. It can be why you sometimes see wet paw prints on a hot day.
