Is Your Dog’s Heavy Panting a Hidden Warning Sign? Here’s What Every Pet Owner Needs to Know!
Do Dogs Pant When They’re in Pain?
A change in your dog’s behavior is a good indicator that they’re in pain or have a health concern, and that includes panting more than usual. Like when they’re stressed, pain can cause an increased heart rate and faster breathing, leading to increased panting. Other signs of pain in dogs include: pacing, whimpering, hiding, restlessness and out-of-character aggression or irritability. If your dog is panting more than usual, but it isn’t hot, or they suddenly start panting, it’s a good idea to make an appointment with your veterinarian, especially if they’re displaying other signs of pain or discomfort.
