- Apocrine – These are more like the glands where pheromones are emitted. Thus, they don't help cool dogs as much as merocrine glands do. These glands can be found all over your dog's body. They help dogs to recognize the scents of other dogs better.
- Merocrine – These are similar to the sweat glands of humans and often found on your dog's paws. Now that you know their locations, you know how to assist your dog in cooling off when he overheats. Make sure that during hot days, your dog's paws are well-ventilated so he can cool down faster.
