Ask Joey-Dog Panting and Wet Noses

Wet Dog Noses and Why Dogs Pant

Hi Joey,

   I'm 8 years old and my mom and I like to read your blog, specially on Mondays when you write. I don't have a problem. I was just wondering. Why do dogs pant? And why do they have wet noses?

Thanks,

Brandon R.

   Thanks Dude! So glad you like my column. And I'm glad you don't have any dog problems.

  Ok, to answer your questions. Dogs pant because that is their way of keeping cool. Humans sweat as a way to keeping cool but dogs cannot sweat. So we were made to pant instead.

Castle in the Desert psp   As for wet noses, we have glands inside our noses that keep them wet. It's believed it helps us to smell better. Some people believe if a dog's nose is dry, than he must not be healthy. But that may or may not be true. If it's dry occasionally, then he's probably healthy. Also when a dog is sleeping, his nose gets dry so it may take a while to get moist again after waking. If the nose is constantly dry for several days, you may want to be on the look out to see if your dog is feeling ok. Call your vet if you think he may be getting sick.

Til next week,
