I have a very large dog is it normal for him to drool excessively?

He normally drools a lot when he is anticipating getting food, but tonight he's been drooling even more. I think he was nervous today because of a stressful situation so can that be part of it? Can it be something he's eaten? We've been mopping up little pools of saliva on the floor every place he's been sitting or laying down and I'm wondering if he's okay. He's seems fine in every other way.

Update:

Sandy, we don't know. He was a lost or abandoned dog and he had no collar, or identifying tags. We think he might be a mix of Bernese Mountain dog, Rottweiler, or Golden Retriever. I guess the drooling is normal. We'll just keep the towels handy....

    drooling depends on the type of dog you have for instance boxers and dogs with large drooping jowels or droopy mouths will drool for no reason its just the way their mouth is

    Big dogs drool. It`s ok, just carry around a towel in your pocket.
