Excess saliva from dogs mouths is often a sign of fear. The saliva froths up from barking and growling. Sounds strange but fear in dogs who act and seem like they want to fight is natural. A frightened dog wants to dominate the other so it doesn't have to be fearful anymore.

Why dont cats have a cleaner mouth than a dog?

Yes, a cat's mouth is cleaner than a human's, and possibly cleaner than a dog's, too. The saliva that destroys germs and keeps the mouth clean is more powerful in cats than it is in humans or dogs. It needs to be this way because cats use their mouths to clean themselves often. It is safe to share a Popsicle with a cat!


How do you keep a cats mouth open for dental exam?

To keep a cat's mouth open for a dental exam, gently grasp the sides of the cat's mouth behind the canines and apply gentle pressure to open the mouth. You can also use a special cat mouth opener tool if available. Make sure to proceed carefully and calmly to avoid causing stress or discomfort to the cat.


Do dogs have cleaner mouths then cats?

A cat's mouth is cleaner. The average cat mouth has about 16-18 different types of bacteria, while the dog mouth has over 60 different types. They tend to have less because they open their mouths less often, thus not attracting so many microorganisms from the outside world, while the dog is constantly panting and breathing heavily through their mouths. Another reason because of this is that dogs tend to lick and bite things more than cats, whether it's exploring a new object or person that came into the house, drinking toilet water, or eating dirty socks. Cats, on the other hand, sniff and paw things when they want to play and only occasionally bite. A cat's mouth is also cleaner because of their eating habits.


Why some time cats breathe through their mouth?

Cats may breathe through their mouth when they are experiencing respiratory distress, which can be caused by various factors such as allergies, infections, or asthma. Mouth breathing can also occur when a cat is overheated or stressed. In some cases, it may be a sign of a more serious health issue, so if a cat frequently breathes through its mouth, it's important to consult a veterinarian for evaluation.
