Additionally, <b>some dog breeds naturally breathe more quickly. Concerned pet owners should contact a veterinarian if their dog begins wheezing, drooling, or panting during sleep.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_dog_taking_short_quick_breaths\"><\/span>Why is my dog taking short quick breaths?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Why Taking Short Quick Breaths Occurs in Dogs <b>When your dog&#8217;s heart is failing to pump enough blood to their organs, especially the lungs, it can cause less oxygen to circulate through the organs and lead your dog to breathe faster.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_dog_have_rapid_breathing_while_sleeping\"><\/span>Why does my dog have rapid breathing while sleeping?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your dog is a dreamer And, when they&#8217;ve entered the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase of sleep, <b>it&#8217;s completely normal for them to start breathing faster.

In general, all dogs and cats, with or without heart disease, have a breathing rate of between <b>15-30 breaths every minute.

Dogs may also pant when they&#8217;re in fear, stressed or hot. Panting is one of the most important ways a dog thermoregulates. But beware, heavy or rapid breathing is an early sign of heat stroke and should be closely monitored.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_dog_keep_breathing_weird\"><\/span>Why does my dog keep breathing weird?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Usually caused by lung and respiratory problems, breathing problems can also be indicative of other problems such as obesity, heartworms, tumours, heart problems, allergies, or injury and trauma.
