Why is my dog panting? Dogs pant to regulate their temperature. Unlike humans, dogs aren't able to regulate their temperature using sweat so instead, they pant to circulate cool air through their bodies and to evaporate water from the mouth and upper respiratory tract.

Panting is a normal behavior for happy and active dogs. It helps dogs cool themselves down because they can't sweat like humans do. Panting allows a dog to rapidly inhale, humidify, then exhale the air, which increases the evaporation of water from your dog's nose and lungs.
