Reasons why dog salivate excessively
Some dog breeds like the Bullmastiff, the Saint Bernard and the Bassethounds are noted to be drippers. These dogs have loose pendulous lips so that the enzyme-rich saliva that is secreted by the four pairs of salivary glands to aid digestion cannot be contained in the mouth. A bandana tied around the dog's neck, a supply of towels in strategic places or the deftness to run for cover every time the pet shakes its head would be invaluable tactics that must be adapted by owners of slobbering dogs.
Dogs naturally slobber. Dogs are voracious eaters thus the sight of food would make these animals salivate. A dog owner should be concerned if the dog that is not an excessive droller would suddenly droll excessively.
Dog owners should take notice if the normally non-drooling dog have suddenly become an excessive dripper because the situation can result to dehydration. A situation that would have a psychological impact on the dog can trigger excessive drooling. A dog's nervous reaction to loud sound can trigger excessive salivation. Motion sickness can also make a dog drool. Because dog are indiscriminate eaters it would not be uncommon for these animals to ingest poisonous substances. Hypersalivation can be a sign that the dog was poisoned.
Excessive salivation can also point to a health concern. Gastric dilatation volvulus which is commonly known as bloat is a life threatening situation that is caused by the twisting of the stomach. The dog's hypersalivation can be a symptom of bloat. Other medical concerns like rabies, distemper, liver diseases, ear infections and urinary tract infections can make a dog drool excessively. However if it is apparent that the dog's salivation is not caused by the above mentioned situations, a dog owner has better open and examine the mouth of the pet.
Excessive salivation can be caused by a cracked tooth, an infected gum or other periodontal diseases. Dogs use their mouth to investigate their surroundings. The dogs inclination to chew and ingest anything can result to injuries to the tissues of the mouth. The pain and the discomfort will make the dog drool.
