We have a Staffie. When he goes for his evening walk, he starts chomping and slurping and smacking his lips. He's even starting to froth a bit at the mouth when he does this. I've noticed him doing it when he's licked the grass, but my boyfriend says he does it even when he hasn't tasted anything.
What is it? Is it a symptom of something? Or is he just SO excited to be on a walk?

My staffie does this on occasion,its usually when we go to a new place to walk,but not always.
Vet said excessive drooling can be from anxiety or just from being excited.
Mine froths so much sometimes I'm afraid someone is going to yell...mad dog mad dog ...lol.
