Heavy panting can mean several things: heat exhaustion, poisoning, pain, respiratory disorders, or a heart condition.
If you suspect heat exhaustion, put your dog in the shade, or bring him inside to an air-conditioned car, or an air-conditioned house. Use cool water (not cold water) and wet a cloth to moisten your dog's face and paw pads. This will allow evaporation to occur and the heat to dissipate. Offer your dog cool water to drink. Alternatively, you should immerse your dog in a bathtub of cool water (not cold), thoroughly wetting his coat. Overheating is a medical emergency.
If the heavy panting has been going on for some time, and it's not due to heat exhaustion you should contact a veterinarian.
