#38 Understanding a Dog’s Floppy Tongue
A dog’s tongue hanging out is usually a sign of relaxation and comfort, not a cause for immediate concern. However, ensuring that the tongue hanging out isn’t due to a medical issue is important. Issues like trauma to the jaw or loss of lower canine teeth need veterinary attention.
Also, certain breeds, like the Pekingese, naturally have tongues that may appear too large for their mouths, making a floppy tongue a common and normal sight for these breeds.
