There are a few reasons why your dog may be breathing fast including pain or the lack of sufficient oxygen. The normal breathing rate of a dog is between 12 to 20 times per minute. When a dog is in pain, he may be breathing faster than usual. Even if dogs tend to hide pain, fast rate breathing may point that the dog is suffering. You should take a look at your pet’s body and check for visible injuries; you should also check the mouth and the nasal passages.

If, however, a puppy's breath is fast, shallow, or otherwise abnormal while awake and active throughout the day, it may be a cause for alarm. Occasionally, dogs are born with heart defects or circulatory problems which may cause them difficulty breathing.

These are a few possible reasons your dog may be breathing faster. Make sure you visit the vet if your dog has an anaphylactic shock, has a heat stroke or if you notice symptoms such as fever, blue gums, excessive panting, sudden onset of snoring or panting during nighttime.

If the puppy's breathing problems are combined with a persistent barking cough, it could be a sign of kennel cough, which requires medical attention. If the puppy's stomach is swollen unnaturally, it could be a sign of worms. A healthy dog's heart beats at a rate of 60-160 beats per minute.

When this puppy is sleepin (and only happens when shes sleepin) seems to breath quite fast, she takes alot of little breaths...

I just got this 6 week old pup. She has been jumping around exploring new stuff all night. In the car, her breathing was fine. But now that she has knocked out, I find that her breathing seems to be going rather fast.

Puppies breathe faster and more erratically when they are at rest or sleeping. Their heartbeats are also faster than those of an adult dog. This is completely normal and natural. Puppies' rapid breaths and heartbeats will slow down as the body matures and develops.

Hello all, we just picked up an 11 week old EB and he seems to be breathing pretty fast. I think I counted close to 100 breaths in a minute without any prior exertion.
