Answer
I think that the panting is normal as long as its a normal and not an exausted kind. My dog pants most of the time during summer days. But as you are going to do, always check with you vet if you have any doubts on your dogs heart and breathing. Hope this helps a bit. If you have anyomore questions, feel free to ask. Bye.
