Why does my dog foam at the mouth at the dog park? Is it normal?

Hi! Every time I take my dog to the dog park (not often) she begins to foam a lot in her mouth. She already has a crazy amount of anxiety daily from random noises (cars honking laundry machine) etc. should i be concerned by the foaming? Thank you

The foaming by itself is not concerning. This usually happens when they bark a lot, or run around a lot. As long as she is otherwise eating, drinking and acting normal, I would not be concerned about the foaming. I hope that helps and all is well with Bella.
