Expert Answer

A puppy usually pants a few minutes after exercise; avoid long or intense activity to prevent discomfort. Dogs have no sweat glands on the body, only on paw pads, so they cool by panting.

After running they expel heat by faster breathing, settling in minutes. If slight exercise causes severe panting and rapid breathing, suspect heart, cardiovascular or respiratory disease, and avoid running.
