Some dogs especially like to drool, and people dare not touch their mouths at all. Different breeds have different degrees of drooling. Do dogs drool just because they see food? This is not necessarily true. Let’s take a look. Here are the reasons why dogs drool!

Why dogs often drool

1. 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 when they eat, and accidentally get eaten by the food. If it gets stuck, there will also be a lot of drooling.

2. Dog breeds. Some dogs are naturally more likely to drool. This is related to the breed, and large dogs generally like to drool more than small dogs. The most common dog breeds that drool include Bulldogs, Chows, Mastiffs, Saint Bernards, Shar-Peis, etc.

3. Exercise to dissipate heat. 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 phenomenon: Some elderly dogs prefer to drool. This is because the mouth muscles 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 and are often accompanied by bad breath. This is very likely that the dog is suffering from digestive system diseases. 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. If a poisoned 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 disorder. When their owners are away from home, some dogs will drool. This is the deep love for their owners~~

9. Some dogs are afraid of social interaction. Some dogs often stay at home and seldom go out to socialize. When they come to other animals, they may be more afraid and dare not communicate with other animals, causing them to drool. The above are the reasons why dogs drool! When a dog drools all over the floor in public, the scavenger should bring cleaning supplies and clean it up promptly. Raising dogs in a civilized manner starts with you and me!
