Why do puppies stick out their tongues when the weather is hot?

Heat-dissipating dogs are very heat-resistant animals, because dogs don't sweat and don't stop exercising because of heat; The dog's body can't adjust its temperature, and the dog won't take care of itself and replenish water in time; The sweat glands of the dog are all on the tongue, so seeing the dog sticking out his tongue and panting means that the dog is very hot and needs to drink water to cool down or calm down. Dogs with short noses are more afraid of heat and less likely to dissipate heat than dogs with long noses. The normal body temperature of dogs should be 37.8℃-39℃. When the body temperature reaches 40.65℃, the internal organs begin to be damaged, and when the body temperature reaches 465,438+0℃, it is highly dangerous. In a hot environment or a humid and muggy climate, the dog's body system may fail and die within 20 minutes at the earliest, so heatstroke is the biggest threat to the dog's health in summer or other muggy weather conditions.
