What is happening when my dog drools white, foamy...?

When, at the park, after my dog eats some grass, she has white foam on the sides of her mouth. If I wipe it off, it's almost like foamy egg white. This has happened more than once.

She is up-to-date on her shots, so I'm not worried, but curious. What causes this funny drool?

    It is caused by exercise. When a dog gets hot, they pant to cool off and salivate more than normal. The excess saliva combined with the panting can create a foam.

    No big deal.

    Dogs will foam at the mouth when excited or anxious. It's normal since they don't sweat. It's like when horses get too hot they will foam.
