Normally, you probably aren’t aware of your dog swallowing. You don’t see or hear the swallowing, and as far as you know it is happening at “normal” intervals. However, sometimes your dog’s swallowing may catch your attention because it becomes more prominent, more frequent, or both.
If a dog is excessively swallowing you may notice he or she seems to swallow more often in general or has bouts of back-to-back swallowing. You may also hear a gulp or hiccup when the dog swallows. Or the dog might be making an exaggerated swallowing motion by throwing his or her head.
In addition to the abnormal swallowing, affected dogs may be licking their lips more frequently, panting, pawing at the mouth or head, shaking their head, or not eating or drinking as much as usual.
