This is because dogs normally pant, it's what they do. Us humans are used to breathing slower than dogs do, so if we breathe quickly, he hyperventilate.
dogs pant more in the car because it gets really hot in there so they start to sweat and get hot but to cool off dogs have to pant.
because dogs don't have sweat glans in their skin they are in their mouth, When you see a dog panting they are cooling themselves down.
or he has heartworms if he hasnt been on preventative. They pant like that with heartworms.
Dogs cool themselves by panting, since they have no sweat glands.
this is a smilie
Depending on what you define to be panting, yes and no. Panting is an example of thermoregulation in dogs. Many species of bird, mammal, fish and plant use thermoregulation to control their body temperature in different climates, but not all use panting to do it. Quick, shallow breathing (panting) is used by dogs to thermoregulate their bodies, similar methods of theromoregulation via the mouth are used by Crocodillians when basking. The only other animals that 'pant' in the same way that dogs do are: -Wolves -Some lemurs -2 species of bear
some dogs do like it, and some dogs dont, its like saying why dont some people like it when you touch there feet
There is no start age for dogs panting. Dogs have almost no sweat glands so cannot get rid of excess heat by sweating. Panting helps rid the body of heat so dogs pant. Of course they also pant after exercise but part of that is also to get rid of the heat. In their first year, since they do not get to do much exercise in the puppy pen this activity may be reduced, it is also reaitave to how hot their area is. You don't see human babbys sweat too much because they are cared for. In both it is a mechanism that keeps them cool
It is in my understanding that hyperventilating or in milder forms - panting, is the method in which dogs cool off. Therefore it is not a problem unless they can not seem to get relief and continue hyperventilating indefinitely, in which case you need to contact a reputable veterinarian.
Because a dogs respiratory system is different from a humans. More accurately, dogs don't hyperventilate when they pant. They are breathing at higher frequencies, but they are ventilating dead space in the airways and not increasing gas exchange relative to metabolic rate. The definition of hyperventilation is a decrease in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood, which doesn't occur in panting dogs. A more correct term for the increase in ventilation that occurs when dogs pant is hyperpnea.
Panting, dogs don't have sweat glands.

Panting is a normal process in dogs, it is how they cool down. You should not be worried if they appear to be breathing without effort and panting is the only sign you notice. Panting in cats is not normal. It can indicate anxiety, pain or a respiratory/heart problem. If your cat continues to pant, you should take it to see a vet.
Panting is effective at cooling a dog off when it's too hot. Dogs can't sweat so panting is the only natural way for it to cool themselves off.
Yes and no. If the dog has been playing ball, panting is the way dogs sweat. If the dog is giving birth, panting accompanies labor and delivery. If the dog is wounded and the wound is painful and infected, panting is an indication of pain.
