Yes. Dogs do have lips, but they are different from human lips. In dogs, the upper lip area is often called the flews, and the lower lip is typically a more concealed structure. The lips form a continuous border around the mouth and play important roles in food handling, protection of the mouth, and signaling certain expressions. The anatomy and appearance of dog lips vary by breed, with some breeds showing more pronounced, droopy lips (e.g., bloodhounds, bassets, and boxers) than others.
