Panting or breathing heavily and rapidly in a pregnant dog is a sign that labor contractions have begun. Dogs normally pant when in pain. (See Reference 2) Pregnant dogs in labor will also lick their vulvas and try to find a dark, quiet spot to whelp (give birth.)

If a dog actively goes into labor with panting and then is too exhausted to continue, she may have uterine inertia and needs veterinary assistance immediately. (See Reference 4).
