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!
