I have a 3 yr old pomeranian weighing 4-1/2 lbs; sometimes she will pant for no reason. She is not thirsty or hot, nor has she been running around. She will pant when she is nervous, but I am not talking about those times. Is this normal at all in poms?

It is most likely she is exciting herself by a scent she has caught, or just enjoys the feeling - if you are worried - or she begins to do it more often than normal - check with a vet!

My pomeranian pants constantly as well! She usually does it when she is excited or happy! I can tell it is a different kind of pant because typically when she is too hot her pant is silent. When she is excited she is a very loud panter!
