Panting and increased water intake in dogs can sometimes be linked to digestive discomfort, such as from gas. However, these symptoms can also signal other health concerns like dehydration, heatstroke, or even more serious issues such as metabolic or hormonal imbalances. It is important to watch for any changes in your dog’s behavior or condition and consult a vet if you have concerns.
