Why is my 6 month puppy drooling?
Puppies who are teething tend to have a lot of pain in their gums and mouths. Because of this, they usually drool more often than they did in their earlier days. Even if your puppy is a breed that tends to drool excessively, you will likely notice an increase in drooling while she’s teething.

The more information you have for the vet the better, so think about what details you can know:
Is your dog drooling excessively or differently than usual? Are they showing other signs like lethargy, diarrhoea or pawing at their mouth? How long have they been drooling like this? Are they drooling from both sides or one side of their mouth? Have they eaten anything unusual or been near anything potentially toxic?
Remember, you should always contact a vet right away if you’re worried that your dog’s condition might be life-threatening, for example, if they have ingested any kind of toxic substance or poison or have something stuck in their throat.
