DO DOGS SWEAT FROM THEIR TONGUES?

The dog or domestic dog (Cans lupus familiars) or also called Can is a family of Cans carnivorous mammal, which is a type of Wolf (Cans lupus). A study published by the journal Nature reveals that, thanks to the process of domestication, the body of the dog has been adapted to some kind of food, in this case starch. Its size or its shape and fur is very different according to the race. It has very developed hearing and sense of smell, with the latter being his main sensory organ. In small races can reach longevity of nearly 20 years if the owner treats good and cares, if not his life is an average around 15 years old.

There are approximately 800 races - more than any other animal. Examples of races:

PASTOR ALEMAN

DALMATA

LABRADOR

FARAON HOUND

HUSKY SIBERIANO

GALGO         

Question

The skin of the dog's body is not like the people and not contains glands that help humans sweat. During summer's days of a dog , his wet tongues refresh them as our armpits. But, luckily for the dogs, their tongues not transpire really. Animals with little hair in the body - such as humans, horses and some species of monkeys - cool when sweat evaporates in their skin. For species with long hair, like dogs, sweat would be like putting a coat soaked. Then, for where place do dogs sweat? In part, the dog transpires through his pads, but above all, takes out they heat through their mouth. For this reason, dogs take out the tongue and Pant to cool. This explains, sometimes we say that dogs sweat by their tongue. However, to remove heat, the joint makes the force and  the face and ears help the dog to eliminate heat.
