My small dog is drooling heavily after being outside, what's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 15 lbs

My young dog, about 15 lbs., came in from outside drooling heavily. She sits by me on the couch, and that end of the couch is soaked. I have no harmful chemicals put there. She is still wanting snacks. What could this mean?

Either sh chewed/ingested something that is causing this reaction in her mouth or she may be experiencing severe nausea. give it a couple hours to calm down, if it doesn't get any better by then- take her to your vet to get it checked and treated.
