How long does a puppy pant after running?
A puppy usually pants a few minutes after exercise; avoid long or intense exercise. Dogs lack body sweat glands (only paw pads), so they cool by panting; after running they shed heat by faster breathing, settling in minutes. If slight exercise causes severe panting, suspect heart or respiratory disease and avoid running.
