Dog drooling is very common in the eyes of our dog owners. However, in some cases, dogs drooling requires our attention. The following editor will analyze the reasons for drooling!

The reason why dogs often drool

1. Meet delicious food

Who can resist the temptation of delicious food? NO, people are like this, and so are dogs.

Most dogs are foodies. Their eyes light up when they see something delicious, and they secrete a large amount of saliva in a conditioned reflex. The saliva can't stop flowing down~~ Moreover, some dogs gorge themselves on food and accidentally get eaten. If it gets stuck, there will also be a lot of drooling.

2. Dog breed

Some dogs are naturally more likely to drool, which depends on their breed, and large dogs generally drool more than small dogs. The most common dog breeds that drool include Bulldogs, Chows, Mastiffs, Saint Bernards, Shar-Peis, etc.

3. Sports heat dissipation

After exercising, dogs sit on the ground, stick out their tongues, and pant to dissipate heat. At this time, their saliva secretion will increase. Moreover, dogs after exercise are generally quite excited, and dogs will naturally secrete more saliva when they are excited.

4. Physiological phenomena

Some elderly dogs prefer to drool. This is because the muscles of the mouth of elderly dogs are drooped, resulting in poor sealing of the mouth, so they are prone to drooling.

5. Digestive system diseases

Dogs often drool for no reason, often accompanied by bad breath. This is most likely a sign that the dog is suffering from a digestive system disease. Oral ulcers, endodontitis, periodontitis, laryngitis, esophagitis and other digestive system diseases can cause dogs to drool a lot.

6. Infectious diseases

Some infectious diseases can also cause dogs to drool. For example, infectious diseases such as canine distemper in the middle and late stages and canine infectious hepatitis can easily cause abnormal drooling in dogs.

7. Poisoned

If a dog eats the wrong thing, it is easy to become poisoned. Dogs usually eat onions or grapes and other inedible things that cause poisoning and drooling.

8. Separation anxiety disorder

Dogs rely too much on their owners and suffer from separation anxiety. When their owners are away from home, some dogs will drool. This is the deep love for their owners~~

9. Afraid of social interaction

Some dogs often stay at home and rarely go out to socialize. When they come in front of other animals, they may be afraid and dare not communicate with other animals, and may drool.
