My 9-month husky wakes up panting heavily at night. Should I worry?

Question

For the past few weeks, my 9 month old husky has been waking up i the middle of the night panting extemely heavily. He’ll usually go right back to sleep after a minute or two. Should I be concerned??? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 9 months and 6 days old | 45 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is not necessarily concerning if he is otherwise doing fine. Panting is a way of regulating their temperature so panting alone is not necessarily concerning. If at any point you notice other signs associated with that such as inappetence, lethargy or difficulty breathing then have him evaluated. Good luck!
