Is Your Dog’s Heavy Panting a Hidden Warning Sign? Here’s What Every Pet Owner Needs to Know!
What Is Considered Excessive Panting in Dogs?
Panting is normal for dogs after exercise or playtime, and if they’re hot or excited. If your dog pants after these situations and then stops after they calm down, they’re probably OK. But if your dog’s excessive panting starts suddenly or continues for a long time, you should contact your vet. Normally, dogs take between 10 and 35 breaths per minute, depending on their size. A dog excessively panting will typically take more than 40 breaths per minute while they’re resting. If your dog is panting excessively or has noticeably labored breathing, contact your vet immediately.
