Who has a English mastiff that can tell me about how the drooling is...

[girlstang]

Its amazing what you get used too...
It's just normal now, no biggie. Just more cleaning in the house(walls, etc). A drool rag is a must when you go somewhere!

We didn't have to train our little dog. She is addicted to Fila slobber. She lays under the big dog while he eats just to catch his slobber, ignoring her own food.

How true, give up black just not worth it..

 

[girlstang]

Hahaha
I change clothes right before I plan to go out. If not, within 30 min Ill have slober some where.

 

[Cgchad]

I usually just tell people that mine only drool when they eat, drink, or breathe. Other than that they never drool.

 

[Kelly]

yeah they drool a fair bit, but Im one of those people who are able to laugh it off. My sister always freaks out, "ew Gross!!!" but she has no problem cleaning hangers off the pug's butts. THAT is gross.

 

[AKBull]

I p**s my wife all the time when I ninja kick the hangers from Junior's lips. I don't KICK kick, just a slow motion kick complete with Bruce Lee sound effects.
"SO GROSS!" Well it's not like you were going to ninja kick it, babe.

If you have another dog, you can train it to clean your mastiff's mouth when he slobbers....that's what we did and it works like a charm!

Ha! Reminds me....One of our boxer mixes took it upon herself to clean my other Boxer's eyegoo stains! When we lost her, it was back to cleaning the stains with a bathcloth and a tad bit of peroxide/water solution. Needless to say Crosby's eyes were never as clean as when Ripley was around.

With my last OEM we were constantly cleaning up what we called slingers! He shook after playing hard and slimed everything! He was a messy eater, drinking was pretty sloppy. I installed a towel bar above his water bowl and would put his face into the towel after each drink as a pup, after a while he did it on his own. Helped a little! I always carried "slime cloths" when we went out in public. And also put out small towels in baskets in the living room for guests. Most of our friends were briefed on his "love slime" and were pretty understanding. My new pup at 11 weeks is pretty neat, he drools a little in his sleep but for the most part only slobbers a little when drinking. Drool is just one little fact of life with OEM's. Its gross in the beginning, but you get used to it. When Buddy died, we actually were saddened by the lack of it around the house, if you can imagine that! LOL

Sadie is a messy drinker. I have to wipe her mouth and floors after she drinks and she drinks a lot. I expected her to be more drooly since her daddy has very droopy jowles so we expected her to be the same, but so far it is not that bad. Maybe she will take after her mom.

 

[Duetsche_Doggen]

Don't have an EM but a GM who id a definite drooler, after he drinks you'd think he just spilled water all over the floor.

 

[Mamie2shoes]

We are a lot like the others. We hang a towel by the water bowl and as we hear her drinking, you can't miss this sound, we just simply go and wait for her to finish and then wipe her mouth. Her mouth will really water as we train with treats and will have slingers hangin around. During normal activity, we don't really see anything. I will say that all of my pants/shorts/skirts have become wear once and wash due to drool streaks across my thighs. All of my couch throw pillows get washed weekly as she brushes her mouth on them all and streaks them too. Her sheets get washed every week at least once because she drools when she sleeps too. We do carry a hand towel if she goes with us anywhere and have them strategically placed throughout the house too, just in case.

Looks like someone got a hold of one of the children's tennis shoes.

 

[Smokeycat]

Kryten is 5 months and outside of the waterfall that occurs after drinking he is just starting to be able to 'slime' us when he wants to cuddle. Oddly my other dog started drooling about the same time as Kryten started too.

 

[skifflexie]

Fallon slobbers around food, water, watching people eat, getting excited, being in the car ( I can NEVER keep my car windows clean lol), but it never fails that when your walking out of the door trying to be slobber free, you ALWAYS get a slinger or a nice muzzle full of slobber across the pant leg or shirt, depending on how tall you are lol! I have learned that wet wipes work miracles lol.

 

[ruby55]

Bella has a pretty dry mouth; doesn't drool except for water slobber. Sunny foams all the time, drools when there's food involved. Ruby loves to put her nose on your neck or face when she's feeling lovey; if she hits you square on you can't breathe from the stickiest, gooiest slobber I've ever encountered. And she drools ALL the time, for whatever reason. I remember the first time she got one going all the way to the floor; it was like watching your baby take his first step. Deedee used to get some good ropes going. Magee was mostly foamy like Sunny. But she was diabetic & always fighting the thirsties.

 

[OkieMama]

We just got an adult male English Mastiff a week ago. I am pleasantly surprised by his drool levels I was expecting the worst. He isn't very drolly at all unless he has just eaten or just had a drink...or if he's really excited. Not bad. I think my mom's boxer is a much worse drooler.

 

[masteneo]

I have to see a video of this dog drinking the other dogs slobber. Its got to be like a car accident, you cant look away, lol

 

[Jadotha]

So far we have found the drool problem far less than expected. Also, a good thing is they get strings or 'slingers' of drool, which are fairly easy to spot and wipe off. Our IWHs drooled big sheets of wetness.
