class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s normal for dogs to pant, especially when they&#8217;re hot, excited, or energetic. Heavy panting is different, though, and <b>may be a sign your dog is dangerously overheated, coping with a chronic health problem, or has experienced a life-threatening trauma<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_husky_panting_so_fast\"><\/span>Why is my husky panting so fast?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Panting is your pup&#8217;s way of regulating their body temperature, cooling themselves down and allowing water and heat to evaporate from their upper respiratory tract, tongue, and mouth. Dogs can&#8217;t sweat to cool themselves down, instead they need to breathe fast to allow air to circulate through their body.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_dog_panting_for_no_reason\"><\/span>Why is my dog panting for no reason?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Excessive panting is a common symptom of discomfort or pain. In fact, dogs who are uncomfortable often exhibit panting well before more obvious indicators of pain, such as whining or limping, arise. When the heart is doing an inadequate job of pumping blood around the body, the tissues become deprived of oxygen.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_husky_panting_at_night\"><\/span>Why is my husky panting at night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Aside from heat, <b>unfamiliarity may also be a cause of your dog&#8217;s heavy panting at night. This typically applies to new puppies or dogs that have moved to a new home. If your vet doesn&#8217;t find anything physically wrong with your dog then there is a good likelihood that the panting is an indication of stress.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_Siberian_husky_panting_so_much\"><\/span>Why is my Siberian husky panting so much?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Huskies are known to pant a lot because they are a large and very active dog breed with a thick double coat. Panting is <b>their natural way to cool down and regulate their temperature, as just like all dogs, they do not posses sweat glands and cannot cool in this way.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_dog_breathing_fast_while_resting\"><\/span>Why is my dog breathing fast while resting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>When a dog&#8217;s heart starts to fail his body is not circulating enough oxygen, and rapid breathing develops to counteract the lower levels of oxygen in circulation. Breathing can also quicken due to fluid build-up on the lungs and compression of the lungs due to an enlarged liver and\/or fluid in the abdomen.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Huskies_have_breathing_problems\"><\/span>Do Huskies have breathing problems?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Older Huskies may develop this disease, in which the vocal cords become paralyzed and hang down into the airway.

In older dogs, excessive panting could also indicate an onset of arthritis, especially if it is accompanied by lethargy and a lack of interest in playtime or walks.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_dog_panting_so_fast_while_resting\"><\/span>Why is my dog panting so fast while resting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you notice that your dog is breathing fast while at rest, or breathing fast while sleeping, they could be experiencing <b>respiratory distress.
