How long can a dog pant safely?

Most dogs don't pant for long and their breathing is back to normal within a few minutes. But if your pooch is panting for longer than 10 minutes then it's a sign that they are probably overheating or suffering from another illness. Abnormal panting can be a sign of illness.
