Hello, I'd recommend taking Marley to his veterinarian to be seen. Breathing faster than normal could indicate disease or an anatomical abnormality of the respiratory or cardiac systems. Your vet can guide you best after a physical exam. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
