I would suspect there is a female in heat within a mile of your home. Even some dogs that were neutered later in age will still do this. If the dog is acting fine otherwise, eating and drinking without any vomiting or diarrhea. I wouldn't worry about it. If it is not neutered I would keep and extra eye on it. He may try to get out and find her. Also, check its teeth for any problems. You can always call the vet too.

Thick white saliva is common for some breeds like German Shepherds and Boxers. Dogs also tend to drool heavily in humid conditions. As long your dog does not show any visible signs of discomfort and drinks lots of water and has a healthy appetite, there should be no cause for concern. I would recommend the vet if you have a small breed dog (> 15 Kilos adult weight).
Hope this helps and your dog is back to normal :))
Cheers!

I have an English Mastiff and they drool a lot, and thick white drool is normal I wouldnt be alarmed about that but if you dog does not drool normally or is drooling more than usual it would not hurt to have a vet take a look

since the drooling has increased in frequency I would bring him to the vet. He may have a mouth problem such as an infected tooth. Is he eating his food ok? How is his breath? (If the drooling just came on with in a matter of min to hours then I would suggest a toxicity).

Dogs drool for many reasons. One of the main reasons is an upset tum. Have your vet look your dog over.
