In the last few days Harley has started drooling a lot ??? It's not just a little bit either! She tends to do it more when waiting for her food or treats. She is 5 months old and is teething badly - she's constantly chewing her bones/chews. Is this normal? Thanks
Re: Drooling Yes, its normal I have a drooler too , Sam is now two and a half years old and has been drooling since he was a puppy , always when he is excited and in anticipation of either food or retrieving , some are worse than others , Sam is shocking at times :
Re: Drooling Hey Naya its completely normal for puppies at Harley's age to chew constantly don wry its bcoz of the irritation caused during teething jus provide him appropriate chew toys(it helps him from chewing unwanted things like cushions,shoes,wires etc) and dental chews as they clean the teeth ad keep the bad breath away keep an eye on him carefully as u don want to ruin ur carpets and furniture..
Re: Drooling Brew is a drooler too, Naya. Put her food down and, until she's released to go get it, it is a bit like turning on the proverbial tap... ;D Clare
Re: Drooling Before I got a dog I used to wonder why Pavlov bothered to collect dog saliva as part of his experiments on conditioning. I thought that surely such a thing must have been extremely tiresome, collecting tiny little quantities of drool. Then I got a dog. And I realised that Pavlov probably just collected the drool in a wheelbarrow.

Re: Drooling Popy doesn't drool; but then she doesn't pee much either. In fact, I sometimes worry that she doesn't drink enough and so doesn't wee very much either. Some mornings when I let her out in the garden she simply will not have a wee - first pee of the day today was at 11 . I certainly couldn't hang on that long. Maybe the two things (drooling and peeing) are connected?

[/quote] Riley pees endlessly and at every opportunity but my friends female lab has a bladder of iron and can easily make it to 11 without a wee. She wouldn't go in their small garden when they lived in town so if anything delayed her walk she would just hold on....
Re: Drooling Harley goes for a wee around 10.30/11pm and doesn't go again until at least 8am so not sure if the 2 are connected?? After this she will go for a wee around 11am/12pm, 3pm, 6pm then not til just before bed. Her drooling isn't just a little bit, it's pouring out ???
Re: Drooling Our previous Lab - Cocoa - was a world class drooler. When we took her to the woods she'd drool from the moment her nose hit the ground. After a few minutes she'd have thick lines of drool from both side of her mouth with little bits of leaves and twigs attached. My wife used to call it her "drool-ery".
