Rapid breathing

My 13 week old puppy breathes really fast/heavy when she is sleeping. She also seems to dream a lot. Is this normal?

Re: Rapid breathing

Sometime Ice breathes fast or woofs in her sleep. I think they dream of chasing things!

Re: Rapid breathing

Perfectly normal! :-) I've heard of many dogs doing that when they sleep. Our dog did it for the first month or so after we got her.. but has since grown out of it.

My 15.5 year old runs in her sleep. The 9 nine year old barks loud enough to wake himself up.

Very normal.

Re: Rapid breathing

Perhaps I phrased that a bit wrong. I knew the dreaming was normal, but was concerned about the rapid/heavy breathing. I thought maybe it was connected with the dreaming, but I'm not so sure...

Yes. They breathe fast when they dream.
