Question: are dogs sweat glands in their paws?
Answer: Dogs actually sweat through their paws, Carrier said. ... But the sweat glands in the dogs' feet may also serve another purpose, according to Carrier. "They do have true sweat glands in their paw pads, [but] that's not enough to cool them down," she said. Panting cools a much greater surface area than a dog's paws would.
