Saint Bernard
Overview
The Saint Bernard, big in size and tame in temperament, is the best-known drooling dog. These dogs were originally bred to do rescue work in the Swiss Alps due to their strength and ability to find ‘lost’ travelers.
Drooling Traits
Other large, loose lips leave their slobbering a mess with Saint Bernards. Their jowls are often heavy, meaning they dribble drool despite how excited they might be or how much they’re waiting for food. When hot weather makes them have to cool themselves, they tend to pant, setting off the drooling.
Care Tips
By cleaning regularly, their drooling may be controlled, but it does mean their living area has to be dry and hygienic. It also shields from drool messes because regular grooming helps, for example.
Newfoundland
Overview
The Newfoundland is a giant dog with a cheery temperament, a good swimmer, and a famous licker. Newfoundlanders have originally bred a workindogsog for fishermen; they are excellent swimmers for water rescue.
Drooling Traits
They are water-resistant, with loose jowls and thick coats that tend to drool. They have a heavy build with big mouths and lots of saliva once a drink or meal is over.
Care Tips
Newfoundlands drool and need to have their thick coat groomed. Having a part of the house where the animals are fed helps keep the mess organized, and if you wipe their jowls often, it keeps them free from clutter.
Mastiff
Overview
These are one of the largest dog breeds, and they have been man’s companions for a long time. Their protective nature, loyalty, and occasionally gentle giant reputation make them known.
Drooling Traits
Mastiffs have these great big heads and loose skin, so they often drool. They can get you in a drippy situation, like during meals or when they’re excited because their jowls can gobble up moisture.
Care Tips

Bulldogs can’t be beat; they look a certain way and have adorable personalities. If you look for loose skin and a wrinkly face, you’ll find them, but they are very kind and nice.
Drooling Traits
It’s natural for Bulldogs to drool, as their physicality doesn’t leave much room for restraint; loose skin and a short snout make it easy for froth to escape. They’re smaller than larger breeds and don’t drool much, but they do.

FAQ
1. However, why do specific dog breeds drool largely more than other dog breeds?
The anatomy of a dog, specifically your dog’s jaws and lips, will determine how much drool. Generally speaking, the breeds with more loose skin, big jowls, and shorter snouts are most likely to drool. Certain breeds naturally have too much saliva.
2. Do you have a question: how do I stop my dog drooling?
If you can keep on top of grooming (especially if you know what breed she is) and have designated areas where she eats and a bib or towel when she does eat, then with a combination of the above measures and good parenting, you should be able to control drooling to some extent. Of course, though, wiping their mouth and jowls often will keep it clean, too. You’ll have to keep your surfaces clean to try and avoid any hygiene issues caused by drooling.
3. Do people who drool suffer health problems?
Although drolling is normal, excessive drolling may indicate a dental infection problem or digestive problem. However, a sudden spike in drooling should get you to your veterinarian to look over your pet if they have any other symptoms, such as vomiting or lethargy.
4. Why were only some of the dogs from these breeds drooling?
Not every dog in a breed will drool that much. There is no standard for the amount of ‘how much’; it depends on the person’s anatomy, health, age, and excitement level. According to Spay and Save in Walnut Creek, California, this breed drools a lot; even other dogs in the same breed tend to drool more than others.
5. How do you deal with drool from your dog?
Lay down several paper towels or cloths around an area of the room where your dog should be eating or spending a great amount of time. Pet-friendly cleaners or mops can be used when cleaning drool stains off floor surfaces. Keep feeding areas clean, and give your dog a towel to wash her mouth afterward to eliminate the mess.
