We have adopted a cocker pup (14month old) and are concerned about his panting. He seems to paint a lot compared to our sprocker pup.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Panting per se by itself is not too concerning unless it is causing other respiratory signs like difficulty breathing, coughing or discomfort. If you notice any of those signs, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment. Otherwise, his panting is probably normal. Best of luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is difficult to recommend further therapy without knowing what is going on first. For this reason, further diagnostics such as thoracic radiographs should be considered first. This may be due to pneumonia, heart disease, bronchitis, among many other possibilities. I recommend considering diagnostics like that to have a better idea of what may be going on. At that point, it would be more accurate to consider therapy with more information on the matter. Good luck!
