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. 🐾

Wonderful Wednesday: The Vacation

This creature goes to bed around 10-11 pm by himself most of the time, puts himself in the crate and says goodnight. I think I might start going to bed at the same time. Thank u sleepytime signal noodle.

got my dog an extremely good caricature

[scrunglydogblog]

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
