My dog is panting and shaking excessively. I don’t know if that is normal or if it indicates an illness.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Panting and shaking can be signs of anxiety (for example if there is a thunderstorm), pain, nausea or difficulty breathing. If you can not identify a source of anxiety for your dog, or the signs continue to worsen they should be seen by a vet as soon as possible to determine what is going on. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any questions you have!
