Excess drooling may be the first sign that something is wrong and you should visit the vet.
Some dogs have loose upper lips (or “flews”) created by extra skin, which allows saliva to collect and eventually drip out the sides. Typical dog drooling is actually a good thing. It allows for proper digestion, keeps bad bacteria at bay, and maintains oral health. Excess drooling may be the first sign that something is wrong and you should visit the vet. Some other causes of excess drool include: Heat stroke, Nausea or Motion Sickness, Upset stomach, Dental problems, Stress or Injuries. Some breeds have muzzles and lips that are structured to dribble less. While some breeds just drool more, sometimes it can be a warning sign. Especially with breeds that don’t typically produce excess saliva. The Bichon Frise has plenty of personality to share with everyone around her. The Welsh Corgi is ready to run and play at any given moment. Chihuahua’s can be quite “mouthy” and bark at whatever catches their interest.
