Dogs panting shortness of breath in summer

The dog panting shortness of breath in summer is heatstroke. Dogs and other animals are different, its sweat glands are few, only distributed in the tip of the nose, foot pads, etc., rely solely on a large number of sweat to dissipate body heat is far from enough, only by accelerating the respiratory rate, or open mouth and tongue to help dissipate heat. Therefore, as long as the body heat production increased sharply or heat dissipation difficulties, such as excitement, panic, exercise, high ambient temperature, etc., can significantly increase the number of breaths, and even open mouth and tongue, this is not pathological, because the dog does not have sweat glands, the skin will not dissipate heat, if the summer weather is hot, the dog will stick out the tongue panting, in this way to heat.
