In broad terms, yes, humans and dogs absorb and use CO2 in similar manners. The specific enzymes in the metabolic pathways are slightly different and the tolerable limits on blood CO2 levels vary slightly, but the overall mechanisms are the same.

How do dogs exchange gas?
Dogs, like humans and all other mammals, get rid of carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen in their lungs during respiration.
Do dogs excrete?
Yes, they excrete carbon dioxide, water, and feces just like humans do.
Why is a carbon dioxide cycle called a cycle?
it is called cycle because when we exhale we gives off carbon dioxide, and it is absorb by plants, then after the process called photosynthesis it gives off oxygen to the atmosphere, then now we inhale it and after we inhale we exhale the carbon dioxide and goes to the atmosphere then absorb by plants, gives off oxygen, goes to the atmosphere, then inhale it and so on and so forth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for shorth will go back and go back. not like the one way flow of energy that will remain.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Can dogs smell radon or carbon dioxide?
Yes
What are the Main functions of the lungs in a dogs body?
providing the body with oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide
How are humans dependent on animals and plants?
Plants and animals both feed humans. Plants give us oxygen while absorbing carbon dioxide so can breath. Animals help us do jobs and/or create jobs. For example: police dogs help the police by doing what humans can't; my grandfather is a farmer but he only has cows, so without them he wouldn't have a job.
If humans hyperventilate they develop respiratory alkalosis with tingling dizziness and carpopedal spasm Why don't dogs have the same problems when they hyperventilate to control temperature?
Because a dogs respiratory system is different from a humans. More accurately, dogs don't hyperventilate when they pant. They are breathing at higher frequencies, but they are ventilating dead space in the airways and not increasing gas exchange relative to metabolic rate. The definition of hyperventilation is a decrease in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood, which doesn't occur in panting dogs. A more correct term for the increase in ventilation that occurs when dogs pant is hyperpnea.
Can dogs get Psoriasis from humans?
While dogs can get psoriasis, they do not get it from humans.
Do humans help dogs or dogs help humans?
Both!
Are there more humans or dogs?
There are more humans than dogs.
Is Cyanide gas used in animal shelter gas chambers to kill dogs?
No, the gas used in veterinary medicine for euthanasia is carbon dioxide. However, because this method is technically difficult and can cause some anxiety in larger dogs, it is not used to euthanize dogs.
Do dogs think like humans?
No. Dogs are different from humans. For example, dogs cannot process many colours, unlike humans. Dogs have the pack instinct (resulting in their loyalty), while humans do not. Dogs only mate in breeding season, while humans mate anytime.
