We\u2019ve all been there. It\u2019s usually just a matter of them being hot after an exercise, panting to cool down. That\u2019s how they regulate body temperature, after all. However, if the panting doesn\u2019t seem to subside, it could be a cause for concern.

A study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association found that older dogs lose a bit of their thermoregulatory ability, which makes them susceptible to heat-related issues, especially after exercise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, there are our beloved pugs, boxers, and bulldogs, with their narrow nostrils and smaller windpipes that make breathing difficult even without the running around, let alone after an exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs with pre-existing <a href=\"https:\/\/vcahospitals.com\/know-your-pet\/heart-disease-in-dogs\">heart diseases<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vet.cornell.edu\/departments-centers-and-institutes\/riney-canine-health-center\/health-topics\/canine-health-information-obsolete\/canine-respiratory-disease-outbreaks\">lung conditions <\/a>are more likely to experience a tough time breathing even after moderate activity. They will need more time to recover, so don\u2019t get alarmed if the signs persist a while longer with them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your pet checks any of the boxes, it doesn\u2019t mean they shouldn\u2019t be active.
