Do dogs sweat from their tongues?

Dogs primarily cool themselves through panting, not sweating. They have sweat glands on their paw pads, but they are not a main source of cooling like in humans. So, while dogs don't sweat from their tongues, they do use their tongues to help regulate body temperature through panting.


Are dog the only animal that pant?

Depending on what you define to be panting, yes and no. Panting is an example of thermoregulation in dogs. Many species of bird, mammal, fish and plant use thermoregulation to control their body temperature in different climates, but not all use panting to do it. Quick, shallow breathing (panting) is used by dogs to thermoregulate their bodies, similar methods of theromoregulation via the mouth are used by Crocodillians when basking. The only other animals that 'pant' in the same way that dogs do are: -Wolves -Some lemurs -2 species of bear

There is no start age for dogs panting. Dogs have almost no sweat glands so cannot get rid of excess heat by sweating. Panting helps rid the body of heat so dogs pant. Of course they also pant after exercise but part of that is also to get rid of the heat. In their first year, since they do not get to do much exercise in the puppy pen this activity may be reduced, it is also reaitave to how hot their area is.

Why do dogs hyperventilate?

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.
