is there any way to stop a st bernard drooling too much?

Answer 1

Nope. It comes with the breed.

Answer 2

St. Bernard's are known for drooling, some dogs drool a lot, others not so much. There are no "drool less" St. Bernard's. Nothing you can do just hope that you get one that does not drool a lot. I have known may St Bernard's some drool some do not.Luck of the draw Because of their large size, you must pick out a puppy carefully, checking into his background for common health and temperament problems. In general, the breeder of the puppy should be able to provide you with proof of health clearances on the parents, and you should be comfortable with the behavior of the adult Saints at the breeder's home. It is also important to begin obedience and socialization training at a young age in order to assure their good manners. Despite their large size and their tendency to physically grow quickly, Saints generally are slow to mature mentally, and training should be guided with a gentle, but firm, hand and a good deal of patience and consistency. Saint puppies grow at a phenomenal rate during the first year of life, increasing in size an average of three pounds per week. They eat somewhere between 6 and 12 cups of high quality dog food per day. Puppy Saints should never be fed high protein puppy food, but rather they should be fed an adult formula containing 22-26% protein with 12-15% fat. High protein foods can cause the fast growing Saint puppy to grown even faster, and thereby acquiring any number of bone problems. It is important for a Saint puppy to eat at least two meals a day, to help ensure steady even growth during the initial growing period. Be sure that you have a LARGE fenced in area for you dog to run.

Answer 3

I used to own a Mastiff, he had the same problem. You can't really stop the dog from drooling, but you can limit the drool by placing the food/water outside or in a separate room, so the dog won't eat/drink when you're not around (of course that's only if you're home enough for this to work and not be mean to your dog). I would let my dog drink outside and go to the bathroom before going to work, then let him in, wipe off his chin, neck and the sides of the mouth with a small hand towel. If you do it in
gentle petting motion, the dog will not mind it at all and actually enjoy it.

(Additional bonus of wiping them off is you can prevent skin irritation. My Mastiff always drank by putting his face in the bowl, his neck would be all wet from that. If I didn't regularly wipe it down, it would start smelling moldy and his skin would get irritated. I asked my vet what was wrong and he told me to just dry him off when he drinks and he'll be fine. Sure enough that was it.)

Basically you'll always have some drool, but if you can be around when the dog eats, drinks, or gets hot, you can wipe the drool off yourself and save the clean-up later.

Answer 4

In our house, we have learned to cope with Newfie-height spots of drool on the walls. We keep a "newf napkin" handy at all times. He loves to drink water, come in all drooly, get cleaned up, and go drink again . . . as long as you will play the game.

You bought a big dog. They drool.

Answer 5

This is a pretty common, well known breed trait. Did you research before you bought one? At the very least, a good breeder should have gone over all the aspects of the breed before you commited.

Answer 6

Nope, not that I know of. It is part of the breed. What is really fun is when they are eating, drooling and decide to shake their head.
Good luck.

Answer 7

No, and there is no such thing as a dry mouthed Saint. It is natural. There are vets that will preform a surgery but, it is unnecessary and cruel. Don't you like sloppy kisses?

Answer 8

Well you could stop feeding it... but only if you actually want it to die!

They drool when they eat. Sorry!

So do Danes, mastiffs and setters.

Answer 9

So do rottys and no, there is no way to stop it.
