Best Answer

Dogs do have sweat glands that are called apocrine glands. Dogs only produce sweat on areas not covered with fur, such as the nose and paw pads.

Dogs also have sweat glands on their noses. Dogs don't sweat everywhere like us humans, but they do have sweat glands and they do sweat ! I hope this helps.
