 Panting ???? Hey all!  Happy New Year!  and I was just wondering what it means when a dog pants?  Why do they pant?  Is it because they are hot or nervous or what?  I took Louie and Bella out for a ride tonight and Louie was shivering but panting, so I figured it couldnt be because he was hot right?  :confused: |

 I think its normal for dogs to pant.  My puppy shivers everytime I take him out of the house.  I haven't heard him pant yet but my previous dogs pant even when they are sitting.  I think its just a way for them to sweat. | 
| 
 panting It was probably anxiety and excitement from the car ride.. They pant from the heat, pain, anxiety. | 
| 
 My pom pants all the time. Vet said she was a highly excitable dog plus she has tons of fur. Cali will pant once in awhile when she has been playing real hard. | 
| 
 Thanks guys I was just wondering if eveything was ok that he was doing this. :) |

 Sadie pants every time she knows I am getting ready to leave. She hates being alone. It is almost like she is hyper-ventilating. Kate |

 Panting can be a symptom of anxiety.  Did he stop when he got home? |

 Lexie pants for many reasons...happy, anxious, nervous, tired, excited, sick, hot...etc. It is hard to tell but she does it a lot. I don't think it is always a bad thing and my vet says to just make sure she has rest and water and is not exposed to too much heat. She is easily excited...That's about all I know...i hope this helps some... | 
| 
 definitely anxiety is a possible cause.....Edie pants on airplanes early in the trip, but then she settles down.  I know it is because she is a bit anxious at first. | 
| 
 Ok thanks all for your responses!  I think it was a little anxiety. and he did stop when we got home. ;) |
