Which dog breeds perspire through sweat glands?

Dogs primarily cool themselves by panting, not sweating. They do have sweat glands, but these are located on their foot pads and nose.

Here's a breakdown:

* Panting: This is the primary way dogs regulate their body temperature. Panting allows them to evaporate moisture from their lungs and tongue, which helps to cool their body.

* Foot pad sweat glands: These glands produce a small amount of sweat to help with traction and grip on surfaces.

* Nose sweat glands: These glands also produce a small amount of sweat, but their function is less understood.

While dogs don't sweat like humans, they still need to stay cool in hot weather. Make sure your dog has access to shade, water, and plenty of opportunities to rest during hot periods.
