I have a pitbull puppy. Almost a year old. He weighs about 58 pounds. He only drools mostly when he is outside but I've seem him drooling inside a few times. This happens when I'm taking him outside to the bathroom or when he goes on a ride with me in the car. Sometimes the top of his head like pulses I guess you could say. I'm pretty sure that he's healthy as he's been to the vet quite a bit and the only thing wrong with him is that he has dry skin. He ate a box of rat poison a few weeks ago but we got everything taken care of and he had an allergic reaction to the Vitamin K shot the vet gave him but he had been slobbering before all of that. Any ideas on what it might be? I'm sure if the vet saw something he would have said so in the many times we have been. We plan on getting him fixed here pretty soon. Thanks all in advance.

pits do normally drool over excitement or waiting for food it is normal for them to do this. I love this poem and since you have a pit thought you would also.
what dog do i speak of?????????????/
Their love is like no other; their heart is pure as gold.
Yet while going on a friendly walk, they're faced with stares of cold.
They're so very close to human, in how they act and what they do.
Unless you've known their devoted love, it's impossible to explain to you.
They are greatly more misunderstood, than any other breed.
We tend to punish this loyal dog, instead of mankind's deeds.
They are always and forever clowns, with a wish for center stage.
Yet while displaying this sense of humor, most people disengage.
They, oh, so want to make new friends, and run and jump and play.
Yet when they happily approach, most people shy away.
Often I've seen children poke, or hop on for a ride.
And when I felt they might get mad, they've only beamed with pride.
I've seen these children yank and pull, with nary a reaction.
Yet media's not interested, unless they've put someone in traction.
They love to snuggle up real close, to give lots of loves and kisses.
Yet they suffer more than any, from unfair prejudices.
What animal do I speak of, whose love is so unique?
If you've truly known one, you know of whom I speak.
There is no creature on this earth who will ever make you merrier.
The animal I do speak of, it's the American Pit Bull Terrier.

Dogs will drool sometimes over scents, I've seen mine get slobber strings while at the beach and also out on hikes. If this is a regular occurance I wouldn't worry about it, but do mention it to your vet next time you go.
You could keep a bandanna in your pocket as a slobber-cloth too!

Sounds like he is nervous & suffering from anxiety. Maybe something worries him in the yard mostly - do you have other dogs that go by that bark at him, or a lot of traffic past your yard? The only other thing I can think of could be a problem with tooth pain, and being he is still at that teeth-settling age, he may outgrow this in a few months.

He may be having a reaction to a cleaning product in your house. My dog started drooling excessively one day after I started using a new kind of shower cleaner. Needless to say I threw it away... Maybe try a different food, too - look for dog food that has no wheat or corn in it. That should clear up his skin and hopefully the drooling. HTH!

Well, it's not because he has bad table manners. Your pooch uses his saliva to make his food wet and mushy and easier to swallow; it also aids in digestion, too. He's so good at making the ooey-gooey stuff that he can whip up a bunch even when he's just thinking about eating, like if he sees you opening a can or bag of dog food.
Sometimes, though, he produces so much saliva that he can't keep it all in his mouth--and he's no fool, he's gotta drool! Dogs with shortened faces, like bulldogs, tend to drool more 'cause there's less room in their mouths to hold it all. And bow-wows with big lips are big drippers, too
