Why is my dog panting and shaking in the car?

Dogs pant in the car for physical reasons like cooling down when it's too hot, motion sickness, medical conditions or behavioral ones like excitement or travel anxiety. Some breeds also have a high drooling tendency, causing their slobbery panting habits in the car.
