My husky is panting excessively even indoors. Is that normal for hot weather?

Answer
While huskies are double-coated and can tolerate cold, excessive panting indoors during warmer weather, especially without strenuous activity, might indicate they are overheating. Factors like high humidity can make it harder for them to cool down. Ensure they have access to cool water and a cool resting spot. Watch for other signs like lethargy, drooling, or coordination issues. If panting is relentless or accompanied by other symptoms, it warrants concern. Providing a cooling mat or a fan can help. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
