Let's go for a drive

[Francesco]

I have been taking my puppy (almost 6 months) for a drive quite often lately, but I noticed he is always panting in the car ! I tried opening the windows and switching the air on, but he keeps doing it !
On average here we have 15° C (60 F) in this period, so I was just wondering if his behavior is normal and if I am making him suffer ! That's the last thing I would want for him !

Thank you guys in advance

Francesco, it's very normal. It's not that the dog is hot or over heating. The fact is the dog is stressing over the movement, noise of vehicle & more likely the bumps you hit.
As you take the dog for the rides it should stop might take a bit but it should if it doesn't don't panic.
Your dog is completely fine

Oh good that's reassuring

I agree - sounds more like excitement or stress than heat. Try and stay calm when getting in the car - and don't yell at all those other drivers on the road like I do.
