You Asked: ‘Why Is My Dog Doing THAT?’

When She Pants

Dogs use panting to regulate their body temperatures. Since they can’t sweat as much as humans, they rely on different methods to get rid of internal heat. Another reason might be due to anxiety, so don’t forget to give her a hug, too! It can always make her feel better.
