Do Great Danes Drool Excessively?

Excessive salivation is referred to as ptyalism. For some breeds, such as Great Danes, excessive drooling is normal; it is just part of the breed. For other breeds an excess of saliva can point to a toxicity or illness.

Do Great Danes drool a lot?

Great Danes drool and slobber and lumber around in a rather bumptious manner. They are not good choices for fastidious housekeepers, or for those with no sense of humor. Young Great Danes (up to three years old) can be boisterous, and unless supervised, will dismay you with the magnitude of their destructiveness.

Why is my Great Dane suddenly drooling excessively?

Great Danes drool more than most other breeds due to their facial composition. Their square jaw and loose lips are not well suited to containing drool i.e. saliva. The folds in the skin allow it to pool and easily run out of the mouth. The worst drooling often occurs immediately after eating, drinking, or exercise.
