Pain
You may think you'll know when your dog is in pain, but think again! Dogs will often pant excessively well before exhibiting more obvious signs such as whining or limping. If your dog is exhibiting panting for no apparent cause (such as any of the reasons on this list) or is also showing additional signs of pain, it is important that you take your pet to the vet as soon as possible. Treating the issue before it becomes a big problem can help you save money on vet bills, and more importantly, could even save your dog's life.
