Dogs cannot sweat like us.They do sweat through their paw pads but that's not enough for cooling them down.The main purpose of panting is to cool the dog down.However if the dog is panting heavily after exercise it could mean that it is suffering from a heatstroke.If your dog pants and shows other signs like vomiting it could mean that somethimg is seriously wrong with your dog.Panting can be a sign of poisoning,infection some other problems .Make sure that a dog never feels too hot.Never leave the dog alone in vehicle which may cause it to overheat.
