No, dogs do not smell with their tongues. They have a highly developed sense of smell due to their powerful noses, which contain up to 300 million scent receptors. The licking behavior in dogs is more related to tasting and exploring their environment.
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.
While dogs' tongues have some antibacterial properties, they are not necessarily the cleanest. Dogs use their tongues to clean themselves, but they can also pick up bacteria from various surfaces. It's always important to practice good hygiene and cleanliness with your dog.
There is no definitive answer to whether dogs' tongues are cleaner than humans. While dogs' saliva has some antibacterial properties, they also use their tongues for various activities that can introduce bacteria and germs. Overall, both dogs and humans should practice good hygiene to maintain cleanliness.
