Why Do Dogs Drool? The Pawsome Truth Behind Those Slobbery Kisses

Hey there, fellow dog lovers! 🐾 Ever wondered why your furry friend leaves a trail of drool everywhere they go? Well, you’re in for a treat! Let’s dive into the fascinating world of dog drool and uncover the reasons behind those slobbery kisses.

The Science of Drool

First things first, drooling is a natural and normal behavior for dogs. Just like humans, dogs produce saliva to help with digestion. However, some breeds are more prone to drooling than others. Breeds like Saint Bernards, Mastiffs, and Bloodhounds are known for their excessive drooling due to their loose lips and large jowls.

Reasons Why Dogs Drool

Anticipation of Food: Just like Pavlov’s dogs, your pup might start drooling at the mere sight or smell of food. It’s their body’s way of preparing for a delicious meal.

Heat and Exercise: Dogs don’t sweat like humans do. Instead, they pant to cool down, which can lead to increased saliva production and drooling.

Excitement and Anxiety: Whether it’s a car ride, a visit to the vet, or meeting new people, excitement or anxiety can trigger drooling in dogs.

Dental Issues: Problems like gum disease, tooth decay, or oral infections can cause excessive drooling. Regular dental check-ups are essential to keep your pup’s mouth healthy.

Health Conditions: Certain health issues, such as nausea, poisoning, or neurological disorders, can lead to excessive drooling. If you notice sudden or unusual drooling, it’s best to consult your vet.

Fun Facts About Dog Drool

Did you know that a dog’s saliva contains enzymes that help break down food? It’s like having a built-in dishwasher!

Some dogs drool more when they’re happy or excited. So, those slobbery kisses might just be a sign of love!

In ancient times, dog saliva was believed to have healing properties. While we don’t recommend using it as a cure-all, it’s interesting to see how much our furry friends have been valued throughout history.

How to Manage Dog Drool

If your dog’s drooling is getting out of hand, here are a few tips to keep things under control:

Keep a Towel Handy: Having a towel nearby can help you quickly wipe away excess drool.

Regular Grooming: Keeping your dog’s mouth and fur clean can reduce the amount of drool they produce.

Hydration: Ensure your dog has access to fresh water at all times. Hydration can help regulate saliva production.

So, there you have it! The next time your dog gives you a slobbery kiss, you’ll know exactly why. Embrace the drool and cherish those wet, loving moments with your furry friend. 🐾

Gracie's Paw-some Grooming Adventure: Mobile Pet Grooming in Calgary

Woof woof! Hey there, fellow adventurers and paw-rents! It’s me, Gracie, your favourite four-legged blogger. Today, I’m here to tell you all about my most recent adventure. Guess what? It happened right in my driveway! Yep, you heard that right. No car rides (I’m not a huge fan of those, to be honest), just some good ol' pampering from a fabulous mobile pet grooming service in Calgary. Trust me, this is the kind of grooming that every adventure-loving pup like me deserves!

Now, if you’ve never heard of mobile pet grooming, let me tell you, it's like having a spa on wheels and let me say, I felt pretty fancy. The groomer rolled right up to our home in a cozy grooming van, complete with all the tools for making me look like the fluffiest, most fabulous pup in town. I’m a bit of a diva, so you know, this was right up my alley.

Let me set the scene for you. Imagine me, peeking out from behind the front door, curious yet excited as the grooming van pulled in. No hassle, no barking at strangers in the grooming salon (okay, a little to say hi), just a one-on-one pampering session with my new human friend who knows how to bring out my best curls and clean paws.

First, they gave me a gentle bath with dog-safe shampoo that smelled like a spring meadow or maybe like those parks I love to run around. Then, there was the brushing. Oh boy, I had no idea my coat could feel so smooth and fluffy. And get this: no tangles, no fuss! I mean, they got my fur to shine brighter than the sunshine on our walks. I didn’t even miss a beat as they trimmed my nails (usually the most dreaded part) because they made it quick and, dare I say, kind of relaxing. All the while, I got some amazing ear rubs.

I have to admit, before this grooming session, I thought "adventure" meant hiking up trails or jumping into the river for a splash. It turns out that adventures can also mean feeling your best and turning into the best version of yourself. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to be a squeaky-clean adventurer when you’re ready to chase the next squirrel or conquer the next mountain?

So, my humans and I highly recommend trying mobile pet grooming in Calgary if you want a stress-free, super relaxing way to stay squeaky clean. If you’re curious about which amazing groomers offer these services, you can check out this pawsome list my human put together. They’re some of the best at making pups like me look and feel ready for any adventure life throws at us!

That’s all for now, friends! Time to go roll around in something interesting... I mean, time to stay nice and clean, right? ☺️ Woof!

Until next time, keep those tails wagging and those paws adventuring, Gracie the Groomed Explorer 🐾

That's why I decided for my third/fourth dog to get a breed that only comes in one color so I don't get distracted (I prefer breeders who pick your puppy for you anyway but still) 🥲

But seriously look at them

Goddamn if that isn't the goodest girl (who I assume got an echo done at this show?)

(photo from internet, not mine)

(my dilemma w Silkens is I am thoroughly in love with like 5 colors and am tortured every time one pops up in litters I see)

they shoulve never let my autistic ass get an animal that comes in difterent colors

I feel like this dog is too pretty to be living with me 😂
