Answer:

Most dogs are covered in fur, so sweat would fail to evaporate from their bodies. That's why it is much more efficient for dogs to have sweat glands in their paw pads, where there is little fur. ... While veterinarians consider them to be sweat glands, their main purpose is to release pheromones, not cool your dog off.
