Saint Bernards, Basset Hounds and Bullmastiffs are only some of the breeds noted to be notorious droolers. These dogs cannot contain the enzyme rich saliva in their mouth because of the short snout and the loose pendulous skin of the mouth. Owners of these dogs have learned to deal with the dripping dog either by tying a bandana around the pets neck or keeping a supply of towels ready.

No matter how inconvenient, the dog drooling is not an abnormality. Dogs are voracious eaters thus the sight of food would make these animals salivate. But if the dog is not short snouted, does not have loose skin folds on the mouth and normally is not a slobbering breed, the owner must be concerned if the dog suddenly becomes a dripper.

Dog owners should take notice if the normally non-drooling dog have suddenly become an excessive dripper because the situation can result to dehydration. The excessive drooling of the pet can be associated to a situation that has disturbed the pet emotionally. The rolling sounds of thunder, fireworks or even unfamiliar sights can trigger a nervous reaction in dogs and frightened dogs are known to salivate excessively. Travelling in cars can make the dog nauseous thus aside from vomiting the dog may also drool excessively. Because dog are indiscriminate eaters it would not be uncommon for these animals to ingest poisonous substances. Poison can cause nausea, vomiting and drooling.

Dogs that have suddenly turned into excessive drippers may have an underlying health concern. Bloat or Gastric dilatation volvulus is a very serious condition as the twisting of the stomach will trap air and when no treatment is administered can result to the death of the dog. The dog’s hypersalivation can be a symptom of bloat. Ear and urinary tract infections, rabies, liver diseases are common causes for the drooling of the dog. The hypersalivation of the pet may not be due to the mentioned medical concerns thus the mouth of the pet must be thoroughly examined.

Of course the dog’s drooling can be caused by a broken tooth, a gum problem or other periodontal diseases. Dogs are curious by nature and as they don’t have hand, the mouth is used to investigate their environment. In doing so, the dog may injure the soft tissues of the mouth, the teeth and the throat from slivers of wood, from hooks and from other dangerous objects chewed by the dog. A splinter stuck on the mouth tissues, an object lodged between the teeth will cause pain and discomfort thus the dog will be seen salivating excessively.
