It is normal when your dog drools at the sight of food. Drooling is also a normal reaction to stress for some pooches. Some dog breeds drool more because the breed has looser lips than other dog breeds. An over stimulated dog can start to drool suddenly. It could be the stress of being near the puppies of another dog. Some dogs drool when company arrives. On the more serious side of drooling, your dog could have dental or mouth problems. Other problems that can cause drooling include digestive problems, illness, allergic reaction or poisoning.
